Hey francois
I was investigating this when brokenman quickly answered the question first
EDITED I thought brokenman wrote that sorry
which is a good thing since he wrote the script he knows best how it works
I see this as a good question because I also am experimenting with different ways to boot porteus
and its save file so there is a lot we all can learn from using different cheat codes ,bootloaders , and even possibly other ways to save it would be nice if others shared their porteus boot ups * I included my odd way to boot and run porteus below at the end of this post
I see that your are using GRUB
# 1.) run blkid in a terminal to confirm label and UUID
# lets look only at the USB or fat format check the label too
# official cheat codes for Porteus
#
http://porteus.org/info/docs/57-general ... -them.html
# The format allowed in the cheat code is
# changes=UUID:STrING-0F-ChARACtERS/path/file.dat
#Using brokenman's correct info and answer just added into the your original code pasted to have a full example
# as a quick future reference only let us know if you booted up ok
Code: Select all

LABEL tde
MENU LABEL Graphics mode (TDE)
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=/boot/initrd.xz vga= changes=/dev/sda2/porteus-1.2/ toroot

Run Porteus the best way we can.
Try to autoconfigure graphics

allowed resolution
