I hope you can make sense of the following snapshots. The main thing
seems to be that the boot process cannot find /sbin/init, which provokes
a kernel panic.

This is the tree of the directory it's in:

The q.sfs file being at /initrd/mnt/dev_save/q.sfs,
but the result was the same with the q.sfs file inside the
/initrd/mnt/dev_save/xerus64Quirky-8.1.94 folder.

Hi Musher,
If you're frugal booting (using the limited savefile Barry incorporates), your grub4dos has (you cannot deviate) to look like this (my frugal folder is called "Quirky-Xerus":
Code: Select all
title Quirky-Xerus (sda#)
kernel /Quirky-Xerus/vmlinuz install_specs=UUID=(find your UUID using blkid in terminal):ext4:Quirky-Xerus
initrd /Quirky-Xerus/initrd.q
This is, since Precise 5.7, the most stable OS Barry has put out, imho. I am really liking it here.
