these messages are related to /etc/rc.d/rc.S.
the first one is dbus starting and finding a problem related to avahi.. we don't have avahi included, did you install it? if so, looks like you need to create a user(and group) "avahi" for it to work properly.
looking at
https://download.salixos.org/x86_64/15. ... /doinst.sh
Code: Select all
# Create user and group
grep -q '^avahi:' /etc/group || groupadd -g 214 avahi
grep -q '^avahi:' /etc/passwd || useradd -u 214 -g 214 -c "Avahi User" -d /dev/null -s /bin/false avahi
and if you're not using changes, make a module containing the modified /etc/{group,passwd} files.
the second ones are bad scripting that will be fixed, that don't cause any harm, just make noise and only seem to appear with the combination of 'noauto' and 'copy2ram'
guessing that maybe at that stage of the booting, the boot device is unmounted.
thanks for the report

A grub2 USB menu I use.
Code: Select all
menuentry " Porteus 5.0 USB - AF'" --class slackware --class icon-porteus {
set porteus_parms="volume=33 reboot=cold extramod=/Modules"
set bootdrv=$root
search -f /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz --set=root
if [ $root != $bootdrv ]; then
linux /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz $porteus_parms
initrd /boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
else
echo "----------------------------------------"
echo USB drive NOT found.
echo
sleep -v -i 10
fi
}
No from=, no login= (since guest is the default).

^
Can you post the output of these commands when your system is up and running (DE started, then open a terminal)
Code: Select all
cat /etc/porteus/*
ls -lo /mnt/live/memory/images
cat /proc/cmdline
Cheers!
Yours Rava

Excellent suggestion
Rava. These 3 commands should be added to Porteus' 002-xtras.xzm module as a command named
debug for users to use when asking for help. Maybe with a uname -a command also.

Good suggestion, though I recommend the additional info of using [
code
] and [
/code
] when posting on the forum. Since when the user has lots of modules activated the output could be quite extensive.
The [
code
] part is sure not needed when the user can figure out the issue by her/himself with the sole use of debug.sh
Cheers!
Yours Rava

I think you have the skills needed to craft the script. Wanna give it a try? But please create a new thread since this is getting quite off topic, best in
Community effort for now.
Cheers!
