If you've experienced reboot or save file creation failure, and find that nomodeset pfix=vesa,ram or other boot options allow proper reboot/shutdown, it is possible that a corrupt save file was created earlier without any feedback on the screen, and this might need to be deleted and, if desired, a new one created.

Code:
echo "127.0.0.1 localhost $HOSTNAME" > /tmp/hosts
grep -vw 'localhost' /etc/hosts >> /tmp/hosts
[ -s /tmp/hosts ] && mv -f /tmp/hosts /etc/hosts
Thanks much, I've inserted Shinobar's fix after line 1284 of the script in Lighthouse 64, and it works.

Am also updating ipinfo to report current host name without having to reboot/restart X.
@James C, Lobster, gcmartin,
Thanks for the helpful feedback!
@Jim1911,
If you used http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... 0-only.pet on Fatdog 64-511, maybe it will also work on Lighthouse 64?
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... -10.10.pet works here with my Radeon HD3200.
I don't have the supported adapter list for these, typically they only work with fairly recent cards.
@Billtoo,
A new VLC! I will try it out, thanks.
@Roy,
Thank you for the logs.

[Update: Don't use nouveau.modeset=0, it may prevent save file from loading.]
Maybe try nomodeset puppy pfix=vesa,ram
or
puppy pfix=vesa,nox,ram and then from CL after boot: xorgwizard-puppy and maybe choose driver nv in the wizard.
The default WM is Openbox. I don't know, it seems the nouveau kms (kernel modesetting) affects many things, maybe somehow the drive icons also.Also, 'puppy pfix=ram' boot parameter DOES get me to the desktop (no save file option) and the partition icons DO indicate mounted/unmounted status in Openbox. Maybe I was using JWM before?
