The cards are still in the post :-( However I carried on using a Edimax Ralink chipset based USB dongle. I ran into quite a lot of problems trying to compile hostapd under puppy, so between that and the fact I get the feeling the compat-wireless-old/older kernel combination is going to cause ...

I should be getting some atheros based mini PCI-e wireless cards to play with today. GIGABYTE Aircruiser N300 GN-WS30N-RH 802.11N b/g/n draft SparkLAN WPEA-110N 802.11n a/b/g/N draft 2.0 2.4/5GHz SparkLAN WPEA-124N 802.11n a/b/g/N draft 2.0 2.4/5GHz (http://www.oxfordtec.com/uk/MiniPCI-EXPRESS ...

Thanks Pizzasgood - managed to clone no problem.

A quick question - is the git repository being used in development of 4.2? If so is there a branch (or git equivalent) I can download to have a nosey at?

Hi, I thought I would try and clone the repository (as much to see how git works as to see how puppy works..). I'm having a problem at the first hurdle though: viperpiper@viperpiper-desktop:~/sandbox$ git clone git://git.puppylinux.ca/git/puppy.git Initialized empty Git repository in /home ...

Puppy 4.1.0-->4.1.2 Full install Puppy will hang after power loss at "Waiting for modules to complete loading". Keyboard unresponsive. Booting from the live CD and deleting some temp files fixes the problem. To cope with this in the future (as this is repeatable every time I have a powerloss) I ...

I'm running puppy 4.1.2 on a small PCI-104 based computer:

+ DSL-800LX (AMD LX800 500MHz)

Run's just fine

Hi Edoc,

Sorry, but looks like your problem is different - as mikeb said I suspect that my particular problem and solution only apply to the full setup. I would suggest creating a new topic detailing the exact problem and error messages shown.

I had a look at the shutdown scripts looking for the difference between a clean shutdown and an unexpected poweroff. I noticed that one of the things the shutdown script does is to clean up some temporary files. I booted from CD and did this manually, and now I am able to boot :D To cope with this ...

Hi d4p, Thanks for the suggestion but deleting Oldmousedevice and Mousedevice did not help. The only difference is that after deleting them I get to the Mouse configuration screen during startup but as before am unable to do anything in that screen because the keyboard does not work. I think the ...

Hi Aitch,

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave pfix=purge a try, and as with a normal boot from CD it boots fine, but when I restart and try to boot from the hard drive again the same problem occurs.

This problem is repeatable with 4.1.2: + Clean install of 4.1.2 (formatted HDD) + Turned on journaling (kernel and fstab) + Restarted Puppy a few times - no problems. + Deliberately caused a power loss + Puppy will now not boot with the same problem.The first boot after power loss I got a screen ...

Hi, + Puppy 4.1.0 full install + USB Keyboard and mouse (PS2 not an option) + Was running fine for a few days + The machine suffered power loss when puppy was running and now does not boot - hangs with"#" after doing the USB 1 2 3..10 and does not accept any keyboard input + I can boot puppy from CD ...

Since I seem to be the only one reporting my particular symptoms, it's obvious that most folks are doing fine with 4.x. Hi Lane, I'm having what I think is almost exactly the same problem as you. + Puppy 4.1.1 full install + USB Keyboard and mouse (PS2 not an option) + Was running fine for a few ...
