Re: multilple porteus os on the same partition
@francois
are you sure that porteus32bit_v10cfg folder is created on /dev/sdb2 and not /dev/sda2 ?
so far i have seen /dev/sda2 used for storing changes in this thread....

Re: multilple porteus os on the same partition
Shoot -- that one would be my fault. I think I wrote sdb2 instead of sda2 in the last post. sdb2 is where everything goes on my porteus install, I'm so damn used to typing it!
Please take a look at our online documentation, here. Suggestions are welcome!

Re: multilple porteus os on the same partition
@Ahau:
Frankly, I should have read before writing it. I thought I was the one who mix with it. I so often write sdbx.
@Fanthom:
This was it. Using sdax as much as with /dev as with /mnt will work.
Thanks a lot.
Here is the final code of the menu.lst:
Note: One can note that my changes folder was relocated in the /mnt/sda2/porteus32bit_v10 folder. As fanthom pinpointed, ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw are the standard commands for porteus, so they were removed.

Re: SOLVED: multilple porteus os on the same partition
Strange ... Doesn't work for me.
I get 'porteus data not found'.
This entry for v1.0 works fine.
Also booting with from_iso cheatcode works fine.
Code: Select all
title Porteus v1.1 32bit
kernel (hd0,4)/os/porteus-dev/boot/vmlinuz from_dev=/dev/sda5 from_dir=/os/porteus-dev
initrd=(hd0,4)/os/porteus-dev/boot/initrd.xz
boot
This entry for v1.0 works fine.
Code: Select all
title Porteus v1.0 32bit
kernel (hd0,4)/os/porteus1/boot/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw from_dev=/dev/sda5 from_dir=/os/porteus1 autoexec=xconf;telinit~4
initrd=(hd0,4)/os/porteus1/boot/initrd.xz
boot

@brokenman
'from_dev=' cheatcode functionality is changed in Porteus-1.1. changelog says:
i guess that correct chetcode for your case will be:
'from_dir=/os/porteus-dev/porteus'
(full path to *.sgn file)
Cheers
'from_dev=' cheatcode functionality is changed in Porteus-1.1. changelog says:
Code: Select all
- tweaked 'from_dir=' cheatcode so it's allowed to keep porteus data in any dir: /mnt/sdb1/64 instead of /mnt/sdb1/64/porteus
be aware that now you need to provide full path to .sgn file, so when you put porteus data in /mnt/sda1/64/porteus, then you need to use "from_dir=/64/porteus" cheatcode (crashman and Kriss request)
'from_dir=/os/porteus-dev/porteus'
(full path to *.sgn file)
Cheers

Happy that you asked the question brokenman. This way I didn't have to do it.
