Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody!
I'm trying to use Porteus 2.0 rc1 x86-64, but without "from_dir=" I'm stuck with "from=" cheatcode.
In one of the examples it's used like this: "from=UUID:STrING-0F-ChARACtERS/path/folder"
but when I'm trying to use it like this: APPEND initrd=initrd.xz lxde from=UUID:3453-412F/boot/2.0-x86_64
or like this: APPEND initrd=initrd.xz from=UUID:"3453-412F"/boot/2.0-x86_64
it says that from= cheatcode is incorrect
I've tried to use
from=boot/2.0-x86_64
from=/boot/2.0-x86_64
from=/dev/disk/by-uuid/3453-412F/boot/2.0-x86_64
with no luck (can't remember exact error messages though)
Am I doing something wrong?
P.S.
3453-412F - first (and only) fat32 partition on USB flash drive
Porteus is located at /boot/2.0-x86_64 instead of /porteus (I don't like additional directories on my USB so I use directories inside /boot )

hi Kriss,
this should be ok:
make sure /porteus folder is placed inside /boot/2.0-x86_64 folder so the path to .sgn file is:
Cheers
this should be ok:
Code: Select all
APPEND initrd=initrd.xz lxde from=UUID:3453-412F/boot/2.0-x86_64
Code: Select all
/boot/2.0-x86_64/porteus/porteus-v2.0-x86_64.sgn
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
Re: from= cheatcode (Porteus 2.0 rc1 x86-64)
Ah. So there's no way to have porteus in "/boot/2.0-x86_64/porteus-v2.0-x86_64.sgn" like it was possible for v1.2?
That's a pity. Thanks for clarification.
Edit: It works with "/boot/2.0-x86_64/porteus/", nevermind.

unfortunately not and once again apologize for changing 'from=' cheat between releases.So there's no way to have porteus in "/boot/2.0-x86_64/porteus-v2.0-x86_64.sgn" like it was possible for v1.2?
i promise it's the last time

reason for the change is that we want cheats to be simple and easy to remember. most of people keep unpacked ISO in a subfolder:
Code: Select all
/mnt/sdb2/porteus-current/boot
/mnt/sdb2/porteus-current/porteus
just checked and everything is ok.I placed everything in "/boot/2.0-x86_64/porteus/" instead of "/boot/2.0-x86_64/" but it didn't help
my details:
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/# blkid /dev/sdb7
/dev/sdb7: UUID="24cd1b54-52e0-4e70-96a2-8a1d2b45daf3" TYPE="ext4"
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/# find /mnt/sdb7/boot/ -name porteus-v2.0-x86_64.sgn
/mnt/sdb7/boot/2.0-x86_64/porteus/porteus-v2.0-x86_64.sgn
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/# cat /proc/cmdline
quiet initrd=/boot/initrd-64.xz from=UUID:24cd1b54-52e0-4e70-96a2-8a1d2b45daf3/boot/2.0-x86_64 nocd nomagic lxde BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-64
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/# grep -A1 'found in' /var/log/porteus-livedbg
# Porteus data found in:
/mnt/sdb7/boot/2.0-x86_64/porteus
please double check your one.

Re: from= cheatcode (Porteus 2.0 rc1 x86-64)
Sorry, I edited my previous post. It works.
When I checked it for the first time, I copied /porteus folder in which I renamed sgn file to make sure it won't boot from there.
As usual, I make stupid mistakes.
I just didn't realize that there should be "porteus" folder after the path in this cheatcode.

Please don't mind me, it's always good to have more options than before (though some of them are gone now).unfortunately not and once again apologize for changing 'from=' cheat between releases.
