Booting from a USB stick - doesn't work!
  • PlymouthPlymouth December 2010
    After much trial & error, I've got what I think is a basic SliTaz distro installed on a USB stick - trouble is, when attempting to boot from the stick, all I get is the following message: SYSLINK 3.63 Debian - 2008-07-15 CBIOS...
    boot:

    Typing ANYTHING in here results in the message: Could not find kernal image

    What do I do to rectify the problem please?

    Hi!

    I tried to install SliTaz from startup USB. It was created with tazusb.exe.
    But I got the following result:

    Loading /boot/bzImage...................
    Loading /boot/rootfs.gz........................
    Decompressing Linux ..........
    ..........(many messages)
    Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs
    Switched to NOHz mode on CPU #0
    .............(pause about 2-3 min)
    ..........(many messages)
    [] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10

    after that the system hangs up and only RESET button is helpful

    Also I tried to use the following options:

    boot: slitaz irqpoll no387 sound=no sound=noconf modprobe=ide-generic

    System Description:
    Processor - AMD Geode GX466(333MHz)
    Companion chip - AMD CS5535
    RAM - 128MB
    HDD - IDE Flash Card 2 GB

    For me, SliTaz cooking (20101104) works great in a 4gb usb stick! (512MB, Athlon 1.6GHz, desktop). I have full persistence (ext3 format) and so on... All of this created with Tazusb tool in a few seconds...

    According to this:
    http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:lowramcd

    The minimum RAM requirement is 160MB. You should either increase the RAM of your system or use the low_ram flavor.

    Cheers.
