[SOLVED] How should install Porteus 5.0.1 on Proxmox VM?

Post#1 by inukaze » 11 Oct 2023, 18:42

Hi there look, i am trying to install & boot Porteus 5.0.1 under Virtual Machine inside Proxmox to mount a server
The thing is i was complete the installation but when i try to boot from the installed Porteus on /dev/sda1
Just show a message say "Porteus Data Not Found"

i try to boot using :
from=/dev/sda1 -> Just says "from= cheatcode is incorrect, press enter to search through all device"
delay=30 -> does nothing
root=/dev/sda1 -> does not work

Why grub installer are not incluided on porteus live ?

In the "site" where the user goes when appears the message "Porteus data not found" is really (initramfs)?
- If this is true, why tools like blkid or fdisk are not available on this env?

How is the correct way to modify permanently "delay" from 10 to 30 ?

Did you press Enter? Is the device mounted and referred to as /mnt/sda1?

1 - Yes
2 - No, Porteus during boot from hard drive disk does not detect the device /dev/sda1 for unknow reasons

Before that i just got two question ?

1 - scsi devices are modules are not part of porteus kernel ? i say because when porteus installed on a "scsi hard disk drive" was uncapable of found it on /dev/ like /dev/sda1 for example.

2 - how i can make a custom initramfs on porteus

Sorry I have no answers for your questions. If you start a new thread more people will see them.

Looks like someone has already updated your title.
