I have a menu entry in grun to boot nemesis:

Code: Select all

   }
    menuentry "porteus PORTEUS 1_nemesis  XFCE nemesis sda5" {
    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ext2
    set root=(hd0,5)
    set isofile="/isos/Nemesis-(most-recent)-XFCE-x86_64.iso"
    search --no-floppy --file --set=root $isofile
    loopback loop $isofile
    linux (loop)/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=$isofile extramod=/1_nemesis/porteus/modules/ changes=1_nemesis/nemesis-iso login= acpi=
    initrd (loop)/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
    }
This will boot me into root mode. How could this be?

Thanks

My grub2 ISO menus don't have the top 3 lines you have. Try commenting them out and booting.

login=
try nologin (which will land you on tty since nemesis doesn't have a display/login manager)
although... since that's a pretty old iso you're using there, i couldn't guarantee (any of) the cheatcodes are working correctly.

Thanks to both for participating to the problem solving.

To resolve the problem, in always fresh mode I have cleaned old material in both folders in:
extramod=/1_nemesis/porteus/modules/
and
changes=1_nemesis/nemesis-iso

These first lines do not do any difference.

I have adjusted for the wrong iso mention in first post as it was not accurate, I had used the most recent version contrarily to appearances.

Thanks.

Using nemesis, I realize that it has nicely matured. I am eager to discover it all.
Thanks for offering nemesis.
