Extlinux 4.04 on porteus 1.0 32 bit has boot problem esp on HP Pavilion series. At boot time machine freezes. I come up with this problem to use slack 6.1.2 syslinux version.
For next release please take attention to extlinux version to solve boot problem to all PC's.
extlinux 4.04 boot problem
Re: extlinux 4.04 boot problem
Welcome on board!
This issue should be resolved on next release.
From Porteus 64bit Real Time ChangeLog
I hope this will be done for 32bit too.

Does it solve your problem ?- added statically compiled 32bit lilo, syslinux and extlinux (extlinux segfaulted during execution and it had to be compiled with standard glibc - has noticeable bigger size)
I hope this will be done for 32bit too.

Re: extlinux 4.04 boot problem
@oranus
extlinux is for ext-2/3/4 fs while syslinux is for FAT. does it mean that you had to reformat your pendrive to use syslinux from slax-6.1.2?
at what stage booting hangs? does it work on other PC's than HP Pavilion series? what's the last line of text visible on the screen after failure? will you be able to provide a photo of the error?

Re: extlinux 4.04 boot problem
Hi fanthom,
I use Proteus 1.0 on Sony, Acer, Toshiba laptops with any problem. But this problem occurs only HP Pavilion.
Problem occurs at boot time. Extlinux 4.04 vs. writes on screen and then laptop freeze.
I solve this problem to use older version of syslinux.

Another problem of Hp Pavilon is brightness. After kde screen brightness very low to work. As if laptop power cable is off. But it's not. Interesting thing is after close the monitor and open up brightness is perfect. How can I came up with this problem?

Hi Hamza,
Thanks for your welcoming.
I search the distro which works without any problem to all PC to laptops. Then I found the Porteus. I try lots off live distro but none off them to solve driver problem. But only Porteus. For me it's the king of the live distro. I thank to you and the other developers to make this best live distro.
I hope next release will be much portable to run all PC.
Thanks to all Porteus Team...

are you sure you have done everything correctly?I try your solution but it doesn't work.
did you add
Code: Select all
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=00
and
Code: Select all
acpi_osi=Linux
please double check - just in case. if that wont solve your problem then pls wait 4 weeks for rc1 of 32bit Porteus-1.1 with 3.1 kernel.
