Here are the sequence of events thus far:
- Initial setup = 8GB Patriot key, GPT layout with 1 btrfs partition
- I've found that the Porteus 3.2.2 disc does not have mkfs.btrfs, so I've used the latest version of the Arch Linux install disc to setup the key
- Boot off newly created Porteus 3.2.2 CD (Note: I've tried this with both the ISO via loopback & the burnt disc)
- Linux setup script fails at sfdisk with an error code of '2'. When I run sfdisk it states that GPT isn't supported.
- Back to Arch Linux to recreate the USB key with a DOS partition layout.
- Boot off Porteus disc to try again
- Now I get an error code of '3' with a segfault from extlinux
- Followed a fourm post that said to extract extlinux & run it directly. It still segfaults.
- Discovered that if I do the entire process with my Arch Linux boot disc, then the USB key is successfully created
- Can't get either of my machines to boot it though.
Now that I am writing this, I wonder if I need a newer version of extlinux. WIll give that a try tonight unless anyone has any other thoughts.
Additional Info
I've made 2 posts for my 1st 2 issues to the bug report thread here --> viewtopic.php?f=117&t=6519&start=150#p55091.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
