Porteus Installation problems in sd card

Post#1 by mudit.s » 30 Jan 2020, 10:16

Hi, I have been trying to install Porteus 3.2.2 on my sd card using iso porteus file. I tried to follow the same steps as given in the official porteus page to install porteus on USB flash drive as given in the following link.

http://www.porteus.org/tutorials/37-ins ... #USB-linux

I made two partitions on my sd card . I kept the partitions in the ext4 formats.

In the last step I typed the following command inside my boot folder of iso porteus file

Code: Select all

 sh Porteus-installer-for Linux.com
but it gave error like, 'Porteus installation failed, exiting now, 'lilo.menu' file not found.

I want to ask that if my filesystem is ext4 then why it is requiring 'lilo.menu'. It should install it using extlinux bootloader...

or shall I need to configure any config file to get the installation changed using 'extlinux' bootloader ?

Any other hints or suggestions would be appreciated.

Perhaps you forgot to switch to a USB flash drive?

Code: Select all

cd /mnt/sdb1/boot (or cd /mnt/sdc1/boot)
and then

Code: Select all

./Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com

Thanks,

but I had done that only and followed all the steps correctly as per the given link, I think that is not an issue.

Code: Select all

cd /mnt/sdb1/boot/

sh Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com
