How to boot Lupu from DOS using linld?

[sheldonisaac]

(PORTIONS SNIPPED)

if you want you can boot any puppy os from DOS using linld.com:

LUPU.BAT

Code: Select all

:: LUPU.BAT
@echo off
linld.com image=/lupu/vmlinuz initrd=/lupu/initrd.gz cl=@lupu.cl %1 %2 %3

LUPU.CL

Code: Select all

psubdir=lupu
acpi=force

tikbalang, may I ask for some help with this?

Booting that way hangs at "loading kernel modules.."

Booting via GRUB setup to MBR works, with Puppy 214X-TOP8

Here is part of E:\boot\grub\menu.lst:

Code: Select all

Title 214x-TOP8
rootnoverify (hd0,5)
kernel /p214/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=idehd PDEV1=hda6 acpi=force psubdir=p214
initrd /p214/initrd.gz

and for comparison, e:\lupu.cl

Code: Select all

root=/dev/ram0
PMEDIA=idehd
PDEV1=hda6
acpi=force
psubdir=p214

Here is lupu.bat

Code: Select all

E:
cd \
E:\linld.com image=/p214/vmlinuz initrd=/p214/initrd.gz cl=@lupu.cl %1 %2 %3

Thanks a lot.

sheldon, i hope you didn't just copy my parameters, you have to use those that work for you, especially since we're on different versions. i started multibooting puppy only from version 4.xx, earlier than that i cleanly booted from cd. some boot parameters underwent changes for each version. check isolinux.cfg for defaults, and *.msg for other options.

copy LUPU.CL, LUPU.BAT, LINLD.COM in the same folder, E:\P214

it looks like the configfile LUPU.CL is not being read since you started from outside the folder \P214.

Code: Select all

E: 
cd \P214
linld.com image=/p214/vmlinuz initrd=/p214/initrd.gz cl=@/P214/lupu.cl %1 %2 %3

note the 2 changes i made, either one will work, if linld is in path.

try ACPI=OFF if booting from DOS.

i'm using 4dos which accepts "/". try "\" if it still won't work.

you can rename the .BAT and .CL files to whatever you like. just be sure to correct the references.
