Problem with full install Subject description: Full install boot up and stuck with sh-3.00# |
|
To Jemimah or anybody that can help with full install
I have been using Fluppy 013 for a while. Added Chinese language pack and other packages, remastered it and used the remastered copy on several several machines successfully. Recently I bought a new PC without any operation system but an empty 500G hard disk. I tried to do a full install and used grub4dos to make the disk bootable.
When I boot, grub runs successfully, giving me a list of boot choices I set before. Then it displayed one or two lines and came to a halt with sh-3.00#.
With a usb keyboard, I cannot key in anything and the machine seems to have gone dead. With a ps2 keyboard, I can type in commands. An ls let me see the directories in the disk. It cannot run xorgwizard, probably it has not loaded it. xwin gives an error saying that it cannot a read-only file /etc/.xloaded.
I tried to use a fresh download of fluppy 013.iso or .zip to do the full installation. I also try to do it on several machine. No luck.
I suspect a bug in the full install procedure or in vmlinuz. I knew very little linux and puppy to get any further. Can anybody help. Thank you.

full install of Fluppy |
|
I don't have experience with a full install
but the first thing I would suspect is an
improper kernel line in my grub configuration file.
(Note that for grub2 it is called the linux line
because the word 'kernel' is replaced by the word 'linux')
You must point the bootloader to the right
partition
For instance if you have installed in hda9
you put root=/dev/hda9 in the kernel line
Here are the links to explain grub

Other than that I know nothing

I think I have get grub to direct to the correct partition, as after the booting hung, I do a ls and can see the directories of the full install fluppy.

If you post your menu.lst file, we can have a look at it. Usually in the /boot directory.

My menu.lst file is as follows. It is generated automatically by grub4dos and I have edited the title and commented out the window boot section. Frugal boot is OK.

media codecs missing |

Parole Media generates an error message on playback of one of its defaults. Anyone know anything about this media player and how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance

I have no experience with grub4dos but
shouldn't your hard disk be referred to as hda1
rather than sda1
I thought that was the convention.
Here's a couple of pages on grub4dos

More info from

To create an entry for Linux Puppy, add the following text/entry -
title Linux Puppy
hide (hd0,0)
hide (hd0,1)
unhide (hd0,4)
unhide (hd0,5)
hide (hd1,0)
find --set-root /vmlinuz
kernel /puppy400/vmlinuz pmedia=idehd psubdir=puppy400 pkeys=uk
initrd /puppy400/initrd.gz
or,
title Linux Puppy
hide (hd0,0)
hide (hd0,1)
unhide (hd0,4)
unhide (hd0,5)
hide (hd1,0)
kernel (hd0,4)/puppy400/vmlinuz pmedia=idehd psubdir=puppy400 pkeys=uk
initrd (hd0,4)/puppy400/initrd.gz rootnoverify (hd0,4)

Most modern Linux distributions refer to hard disks as sda, sdb, etc. rather than hda, hdb, etc
That's because the drivers for these hard disks have been changed in the kernel.
The old pata drivers referred to hard disks with hd whatever while the new libata drivers refer to the same hard disks as sd whatever.

I have actually tried hda1, sda1, hd(0,0). The results are the same. I think grub located the partition correctly. Only that vmlinuz stuck at some point.[/quote]

I still fail to get Pwidgets to work. Should one have to activate it in some odd way? or does it only work after reboot. Yes one should go to File? and start it somehow. Wow very frustrating. It doesn't behave that way on other puppies.

It''s not an odd way....turning on Pwidgets is in one of the menus....I had the same question and finally found the icon....one needs to search for it.
