(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

You're really not supposed to open those up... they just get burnt to a CD

I dont have any cd's left

Pdrive can see my partitions but Gparted and the installer cant.

Hi,

I want to use OS2 in a Grub2 environment. The old Grub commands with root and kernel do not call OS2.

With which commands I should call OS2.

Thanks in advance.

hello every one:
I successfully installed Legacy OS 2 Gamer on P-III (D815) 512 MB RAM. I made an ext2 partition of around 3.8 GB. I ran GRUB4DOS as I have win-xp installed in boot partition. I can boot without any issue to win-xp and other FRUGAL installations of Puppy Linux, but when I choose to boot Legacy OS 2 Gamer, it give me the following Error:
kernel panic - not syncing : vfs : unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0).
My menu entry is as under:
title Legacy OS 2 Gamer
uuid 3856a0a1-5324-4456-9dbd-2c8b1fd65274
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root = dev/sda7 ro

Can anybody tell me how to fix this ?
Thnx in Advance.

hello,

I think you should write >root=/dev/hda7<

Hello umair,
Am slowly working on the next update releases. Changes at work and family is making it harder to finalize releases. Hopefully soon you'll see a new release.

Nice to know that John. Best of luck.

If each one of john biles "teen pup" or "legacy os" users pay him a little amount of money each month, probably he wouldn't need to find a new job. Am I wrong?
We don't find this sort of genius on each corner of the streets. I remember the case of other genius who worked to pirate Apple software. Finally this guy was hired by Apple with a big amount of money a month. I hope John isn't being hired by Microsoft or something like that in his new job.
