Lets try another one. This time we will use the uuid code of your usb key, see:
http://www.porteus.org/tutorials/26-gen ... -them.html
Get it with (the ouput is for my usb install porteus system):
Code: Select all
root@porteus:~# blkid
/dev/sda1: LABEL="System" UUID="289C7CB19C7C7AE0" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda2: LABEL="TI30846800A" UUID="DE62838A628365DD" TYPE="ntfs"
...
...
/dev/loop70: TYPE="squashfs"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="cb81a316-66b7-4a04-9760-43357614fc06" TYPE="ext2"
root@porteus:~#
This would mean that for my usb key on /dev/seb1, the append line would be modified this way:
Code: Select all
APPEND initrd=initrd.xz from=UUID:cb81a316-66b7-4a04-9760-43357614fc06 changes=/porteus/changes
Modify your APPEND line accordingly, and lets take no chances lets put changes in the instructions. Just replace with your Unique Universal ID.
Prendre son temps, profiter de celui qui passe.

Hello
francois and all other forum-mates who tried to help me! Thanks a lot for you big patience, but nothing you told me, helped. Today I tried to re-install Porteus 2.1 RazorQt, but I didn't succeed. Previously I checked for "bad-blocks" my USB drive with PartedMagic CD and formated it over and over again to Ext4 and FAT32. Then I boot into SparkyLinux GameOver and tried to copy "boot" and "porteus" directories, but I got "permission denied". So I found how to change the read-write permission on my USB drive (from Terminal as root I launched "pcmafm" file-manager and edited "Permissions"). Then I was able to copy and execute any file on my drive. After I installed Porteus *.com and rebooted I was able to boot as I used to - RazorQt (normal mode), without entering any login information. So, my "case" is closed
Many thanks!!!
