PXE boot Puppy 5.0.1

[jamesbond]

fred,

I've reported the bug and the workaround here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 411#486411.
Until this is fixed, you can pass append PDEV1=rootfs in your pxelinux config file. Lupu 5.2 will boot just fine

cheers!

Hello jamesbond,

great thank you. By looking at init, I could not do much more than finding the echo and retry lines, but the fix from your last post looks astounding easy, I will try that now.

merci,
fred

Hello jamesbond,

that really did the trick. I would not have found this solution in init. Thanks a lot,

regards,
fred

I did another tricks. Use initrd.gz that inside lupu503.iso, unpack it to a directory, put lupu_520.sfs to that directory, rename it to lupu-503.sfs, than pack the directory. It's done with me.

fred,
The actual magic that makes it work (puppy reads the SFS inside initrd.gz instead of searching from disk or elsewhere) is inside puppy initialisation script itself.

So if it is only a script, can't it be just adjusted in the later version that does NOT behave in the same way?
