Thanks for trying.Sylvander wrote:To bigpup and majorfoo:
Tried both commands:
puppy pfix=nomodeset
And...
puppy pfix=nox
Both produced the identical result, which was...
The sfs file could not be found, so loading halted.
This old Puppy may just not want to play with your new toys.
If you want to keep trying.
Saw a post talking about similar issue and it suggested, may be issue with support for your CD/DVD drive. It suggested boot with a USB flash drive install of Lucid.
Or do this suggested by rcrsn51:
1. Get a flash drive and copy the core Puppy files from the CD to the drive.
2. Boot off the CD with the flash drive plugged in.
3. At the short initial pause, type
Code: Select all
puppy pmedia=usbflash

SUCCESS!
...Of sorts.
1. I'm posting this from lupu-528.005 [a version with pmedia=ataflash applied in the ISO].
2. Was too slow/inattentive to apply pmedia=usbflash, and...
It booted straight into the desktop.
So...
3. I copied a stored lupusave.3fs file to sit beside all the others on the Flash Drive...
Then...
Rebooted.
And...
4. Got my old familiar desktop and environment.
5. Odd thing though...
Only the filesystem, on the FAT32 partition, on the USB Flash Drive, shows on the desktop.
i.e. NONE of the filesystems on the internal SATA HDD, nor the CD-RW disk in the SATA DVD-RW drive.
Any idea why?
Pmount also sees/shows only the USB Flash Drive partition->filesystem.
Same with GParted.

Could try this, but not sure why or if it would work. Not sure why you would need to.Sylvander wrote: 5. Odd thing though...

If you open the preferences tab in pmount
tick the box:
tick box to use mut

Did that, but it made no difference.bigpup wrote:If you open the preferences tab in pmount

Tried saving the change, and rebooted, but still no difference.
The change was remaining in place OK.
I eventually put it back the way it had been originally.
By-the-way...
I notice that when I click "Menu->Filesystem->Pmount", a yellow dialog flashes for a fraction of a second, then the Pmount dialog appears [not added on top, but instead].
Thanks for your help, it's appreciated.
That yellow dialog is normal.I click "Menu->Filesystem->Pmount", a yellow dialog flashes for a fraction of a second, then the Pmount dialog appears
please wait probing hardware.
(on a slow computer you can read it)
Maybe Three headed Dog would work better. It has a newer kernel.
Still Lucid 528.

Not sure if an old save file from normal Lucid 528 would work OK with Three Headed Dog, but I think I remember someone doing it and it worked.

Trouble with f-prot--SOLVED
Thought I might have an infection in the Windows install on this computer (dual-boot with LuPu 528.005), so I found f-prot in Puppy Package manager. Installed it but it will not run the update function. I think it is because it's too old, and the installed license key is expired. Went to f-prot.com and downloaded their latest Linux version, followed their (very simple) installation instructions, and it worked fine. Unfortunately the problem turned out to be a failing hard drive causing Windows to misbehave, and f-prot can't repair that. Is there a utility in Puppy that will read SMART hard drive status? Ubuntu's disk utility finally found this problem, will it run in Puppy?
@Sylvander, a point that seems to be missed: as far as I know, LuPu has no form with a "PAE" kernel. I recently built a new computer so my lady will have less problems running Facebook games, and that means LOTS of RAM--and LuPu won't support more than about 4GB. Slacko has a PAE version as well as the newer "normal" kernel, and FarmVille et al. run much better on it. And Playdayz has that collection of "lupufy Slacko" stuff!

Re: Trouble with f-prot--SOLVED
1.
This new PC only has 4GB of RAM so far.
I have anther 4GB of 1333 DDR3 sitting here spare/unfitted.
2.
i.e. Will the PAE version update OK, the slackosave file for the ordinary Slacko version, or do I need to keep the PAE version from finding the old slackosave?
(b) I tried to modify the ISO to include the config setting pmedia=ataflash, but the ISO would not mount.
Any idea why?
If you do, could you answer in the Slacko thread?

Update of USB mode switcher for wireless modems, etc.
Playdayz, et al,
It has been 7 months since the last update of the mode switcher and its data base. This might be useful for those with modems that were not previously handled by the switcher. Please try this, to verify it has not regressed. Thank you.
The change log shows the newly added modems and other devices:

I cannot say "yes" or "no", but some could be. I say that because the mode switcher is for any hybrid device that initially appears as a cdrom containing a Win...s driver. If you have a USB wireless interface, you can check whether it is supported, by looking in /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/ for a file with a name beginning with your device's storage-mode hardware ID.Sylvander wrote:Are any of these devices USB wireless interfaces?
I believe that not all such devices require the switcher because, somehow, the usb-storage driver knows to make the switch.
