Porteus

Hello everybody,

I have installed Porteus on my USB key, it works on my new PC (core i5), but not on my old one (Athlon 2500+).
I use it on a vfat partition, with the append changes=/porteus/xxx.dat. If I remove this append, it doesn't work too.
It seems that the partition sdb1 can't be mounted, and of course, no /porteus directory !
What's wrong ?
Should I add a delay for the kernel ? (not sure it works)
NB : /dev/sdb is mounted in udf format, I think it is the iso file, but it's strange, I've never seen that.

Curiously, it work with the Fresh entry ! Very strange...

Thank you for your help.

ok, I think I solve it with a delay option.
10 seconds make it working, I will try less...

Publié after 17 minutes 50 seconds:
Only 1 s is OK.

Found the solution alone, but hope it will help someone...

Welcome on Board!

Sorry, you are in the wrong section of the forum.

For you, the correct section is Newbie questions

Add the [Solved] part in the title if this issue has been solved.

Cheers

Sorry for the wrong section, but I thought it was a bug.

Topic edited as you wanted.

That is a bug, but that is not the bug section..

Oh, it's the USB installation section, I thought it was better to post here.
But ok, you can move this topic where you think it have to be !

I cannot move it.

Good job, finding the solution! Yes, some computers need a little more time to pick up your device, and that sounds like the issue here. This has been addressed already for future releases, so I don't think we need to add it as a bug report; thanks for the post, and I'm sure it will help folks who may have the same issue! I have it as well, I need to add delay=4 on my machine, with some usb drives (but not others!)
