booting Tinycore won't use "onboot.lst"

(1/3) > >>

meka:
For some reason my TinyCore 4.7.1 installation won't load anything specified in "onboot.lst".

The "extlinux.conf" contains: "opt=sda1 home=sda1 restore=sda1/tce lst=onboot.lst"

I had to add "restore=sda1/tce" because otherwise it wouldn't extract my "mydata.tgz" as well, I tried to add multiple similar prefixes to the boot code but without success (for example lst=sda1/tce/onboot.lst). From where is TinyCore trying to load my onboot.lst from or may I have accidentally disabled it?

Thank you!

gerald_clark:
Is this a USB drive? If so you forgot the waitusb=5 boot code.
You don't need restore= or lst= bootcodes.

meka:
No it is not an USB device but an internal SSD. But it contains the waitusb=5 part... although it might not need it.

Thanks!

gerald_clark:
So, is it working now?
If not, show us the output of "showbootcodes" and "fdisk -l".

meka:
No. Not working.

showbootcodes:

--- Code: ---initrd=/tce/boot/core.gz quiet text waitusb=5:UUID="31352b24-b978-4474-b965-32b2f0805b13" tce=UUID="31352b24-b978-4474-b965-32b2f0805b13" opt=sda1 home=sda1 restore=sda1/tce lst=onboot.lst BOOT_IMAGE=/tce/boot/vmlinuz

--- End code ---
And I tried lst=tce/onboot.lst or lst=sda1/tce/onboot.lst ...without any difference.

fisk -l:

--- Code: ---Disk /dev/sda: 32.0 GB, 32044482560 bytes
