Hi there,

When I want to stop or reboot my machine , I get this message:

/dev/cloop474:No such file or directory
Please mount media containing optional dir and try again.

After each action I do on keyboard , cloop number increases of 1.
I have to switch off the machine to restart.

Which version of DSL is it? It appears to be trying to find mydsl apps that don't exist. Is it possible you are using one of the RC versions of DSL?
One thing to try is, after the boot prompt, type dsl norestore base

root@0[root]# dsl norestore base
-bash: dsl: command not found

I use dsl-2.2.iso

I'm sure there is something wrong with mydsl package.
I remove what was not working manually , because I didn't find any other solution to uninstall

That's a bash prompt (shell prompt), not a boot prompt. The boot prompt is the prompt you get when first starting up the live CD. It says "boot:" and stays there for a few seconds before the boot continues.

With a harddrive install you'd probably need to add boot options to your bootloader's config file. However, I think this is a bug that was fixed in DSL 2.3. From the 2.3 changelog:

17. Fixed UCI loop counter during unmounts.
