USB Flash Drive won't Boot

#1 Post by Guest »

Hullo All,

I used Puppy V1.0.3 live CD to install Puppy Option 2 bootable USB drive. I had pre-formatted the Transcend 1 GB flash drive to FAT16, which Puppy recognised as being suitable for the installation. The install went to step 8 (ie. everything seemed to complete correctly in the script).

On the USB drive, I can see

image.gz

ldlinux.sys

usr_cram.fs

vmlinuz

and

syslinux.cfg contains:

default vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 initrd=image.gz
append PSLEEP=25 PHOME=sda1 PFILE=pup100-none-262144 PKEYS=us

I have an Award BIOS on a Gigabyte PCI Express GA-8I915P Duo (Pro) mobo. I have exhausted all the possibilities for 1st Boot device, ie.

USB-HDD

USB-ZIP

and

USB-FDD

I used the latest SysLinux. Looking inside of IdLinux.sys shows that it is indeed V3.08

*** Please, anyone, what can I do to make this work? Thanking-you in advance...

Posting the exact same thing twice (three hours apart) will not get you results twice as fast. We're working on it, man! Patience!

Have you tried the suggestions that were made the first time you posted this? (Please post any reply to the other thread, by the way.)
