PupDial cannot find my modem with 001.
It is a simple USRobotics V.92 56K Faxmodem for dial-up, connected to COM1. Other Puppies are OK with it (i.e Quirky 1.2 Retro and Puppy 4.3.1), and other Linuxes, too. Pressing "probe" doesn't detect any modems, even though I also have a Winmodem that is detected on Quirky.
I have verified that the /dev/ttyS0 device exists, has the proper permissions, major/minor numbers, and so on.
Since PupDial has never failed me, I have never faced this issue before. What should I check next?
Thank you.

Oh, never mind: I found it. And I'm happily online with 001 as I type this.
Kernel modules weren't loaded, duh. For anybody interested, I did:
Together they pulled in a few other modules, and voilà, serial ports.

I downloaded Insidious 002. Ran md5 check- ok. Burnt iso to cd, using slowest speed possible (=8x). Put cd into drive and powered up, but I get the following:
ISOLINUX 3.7.3 2009-01-20 ETCD Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H Peter Anvin
Could not find kernel image: linux
Boot:
I've checked what's on the cd, and it is ten files just like Wary.
Any ideas on what's wrong??
gerry

Check the md5sum of your download. The Iso has isolinux.cfg with content:
Code: Select all
default puppy
display boot.msg
prompt 1
timeout 50
F1 boot.msg
F2 help.msg
F3 help2.msg
label puppy
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd
Atm, Insidious is not actively updated. I did build Insidious 002 using Iguleder`s specs for 002.
Iguleder is now in army. He has every week 36 hours time at home. And he has used that time with his Teh Gray spup build, testing new kernels and lately with T2 building platform. He has also plans for is own linux distro Calf Linux. This information is from irc chatting at weekends and plain observation
I have also no plan to continue with Insidious. There are many reasons. Main reason though is that I have used my time with Snow Puppy as my main OS.

I've just downloaded and am posting from Insidious now. Although it's early days yet I think it works well as a stable and unpretentious "general purpose" Puppy, which most of the time is all I really want from a Puppy (or any other OS I'm using for that matter). Sod the bells and whistles - does it work reliably and without crashing the app / internet connection / X Windows etc.?
Thanks to everyone who's contributed to it anyway.

Hi guys, I have Insidious Puppy 001 and have found that the option to update the package database does not work, because the Debian sites have been rearranged. Does the option work in 002? If so, do I need to get 002, or do I just need a copy of the new /root/.packages/DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS file, or something like that?
Also, does anyone use the native Debian apt instead of the Puppy package manager? If so, what are your experiences of it?
Thanks.

Also, if possible it would be good to have a link to 002 on the front page, so people don't assume 001 is the latest (like I did)

Even if you inserted the information in your post which is the second one in the thread people would probably see it...

Anyone got a link for Insidious 002
I keep finding this 001 thread, but have lost sight of the 002 thread.
Also, might be worth pointing out that ttuuxxx recently did some more work on one of gposil's dpups. See here for ttuuxxx's improved dpup476: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64227

It's a couple of pages up in this thread, which is what I was just complaining about...
