If you get that message it may or may not write the save correctly to the CD/DVD disk.message which said that laptop CD/DVD-drives are not suitable for saving the session.
What exactly did you do to make this?made the custom-puppy-uefi.iso
Good chance something did not get done correctly.
If you are saving to the CD/DVD.while booting the computer with that very DVD, booting hangs when it is "loading folder ...blah... from CD/DVD". Also, seems that there is no pup_save.2fs file in the DVD.
The save is a directory on the CD/DVD.
It will not be named pup_save.2fs.
The save directory will be given a name that is the date and time it was made.
Are you giving it some time to load the save?
What may seem like hanging up, may be time it is taking to load the save directory.
I assume you are trying to save to the CD/DVD disk.Does that mean that with my laptop DVD drive I cannot save the session and that's why the booting fails?
Have to make sure the inside of the CD/DVD drive is clean and the read/write lens is clean.
You could have a save that got made to the CD/DVD, but it was not burned good.
You can always just make the save on the computers internal hard drive.
The Puppy CD/DVD booting is designed to look for saves on the computers hard drive.
Also when you burn the iso image to the CD/DVD.
Burn at a very low speed.
8X or less.
Less chance of something not getting burned to disk.
desktop computer (Asus P8P67 Deluxe). When I boot with Xenialpup64 DVD I end up to Xenialpup desktop OK, but my mouse or keyboard won't work at all. Keyboard is connected to usb connector and mouse is connected to ps/2 with adapter.
Try a different USB port for keyboard.
so, is it a USB mouse?mouse is connected to ps/2 with adapter.
If yes.
Use USB port.
