Lucky for me it accepted my LAN ethernet and it could do 1024x768 which only two other puppies manage Fluppy and Snow Puppy.
But it fails to boot at times.
Which menu.lst code should I use to have the greatest chance of getting reliable boots.
Should I add debug maybe and does it help to add rootdelay=8 and where should that one be on the kernel line to be most effective?
Hi Nooby,
Anywhere on the kernel line works, as long as options are space-delimited. Later repeated options override earlier.
Have you tried with pmedia=usbflash or w/o processor.max_cstate=1 or with pmedia=atahd?
I would experiment with
pfix=ram,fsck loglevel=5 until boots are reliable, (with GRUB, select an entry, press 'e' to edit, press Enter, 'b' to boot; changes made this way are not persistent) then update your GRUB entry. I read on the Luci thread that you have the boot problems with it also. I'm using this GRUB entry (on ATI video):
Code: Select all
title Lighthouse Pup 5.01G (frugal on sda8)
root (hd0,7)
kernel /lhp501/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd pdev1=sda8 psubdir=lhp501 loglevel=3 xforcevesa nomodeset pfix=fsck
initrd /lhp501/initrd.gz501
If you're using flash media, try another one to rule out bad media or try another hard drive.
And a minor thing. Yes I am very bad at using English but I would prefer to read everything in English but that the keyboard is Swedish.
Is that possible to change to? How ?
Set the country code to en_US with chooselocale, but the keyboard to se, like this:
Code: Select all
title lhp-501 With Wine
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /lhp-501/initrd.gz
kernel /lhp-501/vmlinuz pmedia=scsihd psubdir=lhp-501 loglevel=3 i915.modeset=1 rootdelay=8 processor.max_cstate=1 pfix=fsck pkeys=se
initrd /lhp-501/initrd.gz
