Hello,

i would like to remaster DSL but experience some problems.
When i want to mount a partition, an error appears ("mount: /dev/sda5 ist not a valid block device"). In my "normal" OS (SuSE 10.1) i can mount this partition without a problem. The file format is ext2 (i also tried reiserfs).

My HD is connected via S-ATA. Perhaps this is the origin of this problem. If yes, what can i do to fix?

Thanks in advance!

hi all,

sorry if this post was asked before, i tried to search but cant find solutions.
I installed DSL into HDD then remaster it back to a liveCD using script provided in one of the post in this thread.
When i boot up the live CD it get error message:
"Cantt find DSL file system, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell
..."

Someone please point out where did i go wrong?
Thank you for your time.
Jimi.

I also faced this problem.
Currently DSL does not support SATA. So i suggest you to use a USB drive or some other harddisk for re-mastering.



You can try DSL-N , it supports SATA.

Hello jimihieu!

I've experienced the same thing. Usually it means that the KNOPPIX-file is corrupted in some way (if it is not missing). It can depend on to little memory for the remastering process. That can cause that the KNOPPIX-file doesn't build properly. I hope it works out!

Have fun,
meo
