Hi ! mistfire

no work in with syslinux

initrd /Tazpuppy/initrd.xz
append autologin pmedia=usbflash psubdir=/Tazpuppy
#append rootfstype=ramfs
menu label TazPuppy
text help
Start TazPuppy normally.
endtext

linux /Tazpuppy/vmlinuz load FINE
initrd /Tazpuppy/initrd.xz load FINE
but no puppy_tazpup_5.0.sfs

puppy have boot code like tiny core usbwait=5

thanks

[mistfire]

@AndresC2 can you please send me the pupdebug file?

When puppy_tazpup_5.0.sfs not found fatal error message reached. You have option to save the temp file in your storage device. If you save it a tarball named pupdebug is created and you need to send it here.

@thinkpadfreak on my latest experiment I modified the initrd which enable to load up to 7 extra sfs modules. By default, only 4 extra sfs files was loaded by the initrd

[AndresC2]

hi mistfire this is the file

[mistfire]

@AndresC2 based on your log. Your bootable sd card on usb card adapter cant found. For the meantime try to use a usb flash drive instead of sd card adapter for boot

[mistfire]

@AndresC2 I found the flaw in the init script regarding detection of usb devices. I will try to fix it

[AndresC2]

Hi mistfire

thanks

maybe too slow device, tiny core have boot code usbwait=5
puppy linux have something like that for slow devices?

maybe fix the problem.

[mistfire]

@AndresC2 could please run TazPuppy from your sd card on sd card adapter in diag mode by adding this boot parameter pfix=diag. Then post the result of the diagnostics here especially the list of partition. This will find if your sd card adapter was slow to detect.

By the way I will revise the init script to support increasing the usb waiting time

[AndresC2]

@mistfire

Sorry I dont have sd card reader only usb card reader

I remove some linux distros Tazpup,Slax, I need more room.

I will wait for your uddate of Tazpup

thanks

[mistfire]

@AndresC2 usb card reader and sd card adapter are both the same. Your usb sd card adapter was I talked about to boot tazpup with pfix=diag parameter

I have installed beta 22.

I thank you for making it possible to load up to 7 extra sfs modules.
To be cautious, I will use 6 extra sfs modules at most, as wise men say.

Because of the ability to load up to 7 extra sfs modules, I hope users of other Puppies can use tazpuppy with more ease than before.

[mistfire]

@thinkpadfreak that was nice.

bacon is coming on the slitaz repo (and they sucessfully cooked) so I will update the build devx list.

[mistfire]

TazPuppy Beta 23 released

Changes:
* Small fixes in initrd
* Bacon is now added on devx-list for building devx module
* Remember hardware setup on shutdown

The iron-linux browser doesn't work:

Code: Select all

sh-4.4$ strace iron
execve("/usr/bin/iron", ["iron"], [/* 46 vars */]) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_addr=0} ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Segmentation fault

[mistfire]

@s243a here are the suggested options to fix the issue:
1. try to swap kernel by using the kernel and zdrv file of other puppies
2. check the iron browser dependencies.
3. update the builtin packages

After a bit of investigation it might be a memory issue. The normal puppylinux package manager directly saves to the save-layer. I'm not sure that tazpkg does this.

I'm working on a script to make a suitable chroot environment directly on the USB to run tazpkg. I haven't even started the debugging process yet.

I say that it might be a memory issue because when I tried running tazpkg from the command line it failed due to insufficient memory. An alternative solution would be to use a swap file. I don't like using swap files when running off a USB because if they USB gets unplugged everything gets messed up. Also for USB 2.0 and earlier the I/O speed is very slow.

Edit 1: So my above script ran without errors. I then chrooted into the newly created folder:

Code: Select all

chroot /mnt/home/symlinks /bin/bash

and then tried re-installing ironlinux:

Code: Select all

tazpkg --forced git-install iron-linux

I then tried running the program:

Code: Select all

iron

I see that I'm missing gtk3. I'll install it and try running it again.

This is the experimental TazWoof. This will build TazPup entirely from Slitaz Packages. The missing part was compiling kernel for TazPup (I put a blank function to place that routine) also make live cd was disabled.

I hope someone will complete this build system.

Is this the most recent version of TazWoof? I need to build a devX for the 64 bit version of TazPup. See thread:
TazPup64 (beta 23?)

[s243a]

Build kit is now available if you want to build your own tazpuppy.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/16vbJrR ... sp=sharing

I think the version in the first post of this thread is the latest. Anyway, I've been trying to see if you can use the build kit to produce a 64 bit iso. I think that to do this we have to change the mirror for the packages using the following command:

setup-mirror

Setup the URL for the mirror (setup-mirror or -sm). Command will ask for the URL of the new mirror. Note that you can also modify the main /var/lib/tazpkg/mirror file. The URL must point to the directory containing the packages.info and packages.

# tazpkg setup-mirror

For a 64bit build we will need one of the following urls
http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/next64/
http://mirror1.slitaz.org/packages/next64/
in the mirror file:

Code: Select all

/var/lib/tazpkg/mirror

@s243a

The tazpup devx was not yet updated yet it just works. If you want a fresh devx sfs. Just run this command on terminal. It requires internet connection.

Code: Select all

make-devx [working folder to creating devx module]
