SFS not found (Puppy Precise Retro 5.4.3)

#1 Post by Coco_alx_coco_2 »

Hola, estoy probando esta distro en un viejo Pentum 3 500 Mhz, de 192 MB de RAM y 15 GB de disco rígido. El problema es que, haga lo que haga, pruebe los prefijos y sintaxis que ponga, siempre sale el mismo error. Lo curioso es que si solo dejo la lectora de CD solo sin disco, el sistema halla el SFS pero se cuelga en la parte de "switch_root to the layered system"... ya no sé que más intentar, estoy cansado de probar y probar esta distro sin resultados. Lo peor de todo es que el CD que grabé y su correspondiente ISO funcionan a pleno en mi equipo y en VirtualBox, sin errores ni sobresaltos... Ya no sé que más probar... ¿alguna distro de Puppy (o basada en) que me recomienden para esta PC?

Hello, I'm testing this distro on an old Pentum 3500 Mhz, 192 MB of RAM and 15 GB hard disk. The problem is that, whatever you do, try to put prefixes and syntax, always get the same error. The funny thing is that if you just leave your CD alone without disc, the system finds the SFS but hangs at the part of "switch_root to the layered system" ... I do not know what else to try, I'm tired of trying and testing this distro without results. Worst of all, the CD that I recorded and the corresponding ISO work fully, even in my PC or VirtualBox without errors or surprises ... I do not know what else to try ... Any other Puppy distro (or Puppy-based) that recommend for that PC?

I don't know how to solve your problem, but I can at least tell other people what you're trying to say in a better way than an automatic translator:
No sé cómo resolver tu problema, pero al menos puedo contarle a otras personas lo que estás tratando de decir de una mejor forma que un traductor automático:

I find it curious that if I leave the optical drive only with no disc, the system finds the SFS but crashes in the "switch_root to the layered system" part... I don't know what else I can do, I'm tired of trying and trying this distro with no results. The worst of all is the CD I recorded and its matching ISO totally work in my machine and in VirtualBox, no errors or hassles... I don't know what else I can try... Could you recommend any other Puppy (or Puppy-based) distro for this PC?

I think that the following recent link can help:

For an old CPU you should consider to use an older kernel than precise's. I suggest Wary:

Thanks for your help, but I tried to boot with Wary 5.3 without success. I post my problem in this page:

Thanks for your help.. I want to follow the steps mentioned in the other post.

Hi again. I tried the solution from the first post. The system boot, but throws "Kernel Panic - init Not tainted", and the lights on the keyboard blink continuously until I boot the system. What's wrong in this PC?

Try to enter the bios of your machine: try to change settings about RAM to basic choices. Try to boot with "noacpi" option, too. At the boot press F2 for all choices.

Hi. I will test all the options show in basic and advanced boot options. Nothing happens...
