USB booting :: USB 256MB MUVO TXFM



Hey everyone,

i tried this: http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....;t=5683
and i get something. I says extlinux blah blah and then just does nothing (you have to have set the usb to usb-hdd). Now i'm trying to figure out whats wrong. But now i'm certain that the Creative Muvo is able to boot something.

Well i found a solution and i got it running, BUT....

in the syslinux-3.07 package there is a small program that can turn your flash drive in a zipdrive compatible one called: mkdiskimage

then installed DSL by using winimage:

1. format your stick with fat
2. open winimage and write bootusb-0.8.img to your stick
3. open dsl-1.0.1.iso and copy the contents to your stick

and you have a zipdrive compatible flashstick.

BUT NOW THE DOWNPART:

everyone worked great, and i started dsl from my stick and everything perfectly, but when i rebooted and pulled the stick out of the port, and put it back again, the stick was dead. It didnt do anything, i wasnt recognized anymore. A day after this happened, i was using xterm, and suddenly it said that my mp3 player was found, and every file was intact. When i pulled the stick out of it and put it back in, it was dead again...

if anyone can help?
