muppy & puppy 2.10, Error on flashdrive install

[jared]

Hi,
I have just used the universal installer to put puppy version 2.10 on a new flash drive. After booting I get this error.

Error, cannot find puppy on usb flash boot media. Pupmode+1 Pdev1+ Kernal panic-not syncing-attempted to kill init.

I saw somewhere that there was a bug which created this problem and it was fixed in 2.11. But the link to the fix this that I saw is no longer good.

I get the same problem with muppy4.

Anyone have any idea where the bug fix file can be found?

I would upgrade to 2.12 but there is a problem with the video on my machine.

Thanks

Well I took care of this issue by installing puppy ver 2.12ZDRV to the flash drive. As soon as I read the instruction somewhere that when one used gparted to redo the partition, then on needs to also set the "flag" to "bootable". Seems to work fine now

Don't know what's up with muppy and the puppy ver 2.10 in this regard, but it is no longer relevent at this point. I can wait for the updated muppy when it arrives.

Thanks

Well, well, well. Seems I spoke too soon. While the flash drive with ver 2.12ZDRV loaded on a vat 16 partition, worked the first time it booted, after I shut it down and saved to the file that puppy generates, it wouldn't work any longer. I get the error

exec: 1259 chroot=not found, kernal panic etc

What do you think?
