Hello,
I just tried the last iso 2.1b and "burned" a USB stick with it.
When I try to boot *from the CD* with toram, I have no problem, it frees the cdrom drive and I'm happy.
When I try to do the same from the USB stick, it boots properly, shows me the usual "Copying DSL to ramdisk...Please wait" for a while then "Warning, changing to /cdrom2 failed" and it goes on till the X but a mount shows: | Code Sample | | /dev/sda1 on /cdrom type vfat |
instead of a /dev/shm and of course I cannot umount the USB stick.
I digged a bit and I found the problem in the mkinit24/linuxrc:
The copy (cp usb...KNOPPIX to ram) goes well but from a VFAT to an ext2 and on the case-unsensitive VFAT the file is named knoppix, so the copy.
By introducing in the copy_to function a simple line between the actual copy and the remount such as:
| Code Sample | | /bin/mv $TARGET/$KNOPPIX_DIR/knoppix $TARGET/$KNOPPIX_DIR/$KNOPPIX_NAME |
I could make the toram working as expected.
I leave to the DSL team the problem of the hardcoded "knoppix" string in my command as an exercise ;-)
