Legacy Puppy - Booting problem
Legacy Puppy - Booting problem
Hi all,
I am trying to boot legacy on my old laptop (IBM thinkpad) Processor 1.5 GHZ, and 1 GIG ram. However I got this error message;
ERROR, cannot find Puppy on 'idecd' boot media
PUPMODE=1 PDEV=
Exited to initial-ramdisk (/dev/ram0) command line ...
(the linux-guru can now debug, 'e3' editor is available)
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
any ideas How to solve it ?[/quote]

Can you boot any OS or Repair CD from your drive?
That’s a John Biles affair is it not.

It appears that your computer is looking for a CD drive. Are you using an isohrbrid image?

It appears that your computer is looking for a CD drive. Are you using an iso hybrid image?

I have n CD player in my laptop, so it is on a flashdrive, i put the iso on the flash drive using an app called unetbootin. I use it with all other puppies and they boot smoothly.
I did not quite understand what you mean with hybrid image, and how to check for that.

Legacy is for pentium II machines that have CD (and can't boot from usb) so that's why is looking for it , newer puppys work better with USB.
What is your CPU model? I see you have 1Gb ram.
Now I'm testing in a 1Gb mem Pentium III M (1.2 GHz has no SSE2)
from
Tahrpup 6.0.6 with the 4.1.30 Kernel & updated apps
And for now I'm satisfied with it. Using puppy for 2 weeks and loving it.
Good luck
