Hm what is type of FS do you use?

[Ed_P]

I boot ISOs and files like extramod= and save.dat are on NTFS file systems.

BTW neko said:

This thread is primarily intended to provide a tool (kernel builder) to easily build kernels.

He was referring to the Porteus Kernel Builder thread, so I thought the 6.3.13 discussion might be better in it's own thread.

[Blaze]

And error are still for unmount ISO?

     }

The top one I use for updating the system, the bottom one is for running with my changes module.

Ed_P, can you check all NTFS partitions on errors in Window$ and then to test Porteus with unmount union at shutdowns/reboots?

[Ed_P]

Yes sir.

I'm currently in Windows and was in Porteus 5.0 6.3.13 last night.
