Unable to save changes and Data using TC 3.5

(1/1)

AJones:
Hi There:

I was able to install TC V 3.5 to HD, but I am unable to save any changes to the OS, and any data on it. My GruB2 entry for TC is this.

menuentry "Tiny Core 3.5" {
set root=(hd0,msdos7)
linux /tc/boot/bzImage max_loop=256 tce=/dev/hdc7/tc home=/dev/hdc7/tc opt=/dev/hdc7/tc
initrd /tc/boot/tinycore.gz

Thanks for your Help,

Kind Regards,
Alan

tinypoodle:
1. ommit all the /dev/ parts.
2. In case you use a msdos filesystem as I would suspect, scattered files (e.g. home= and opt=) could not work correctly.

Guy:
You don't need: max_loop=256

Try: tce=hdc7 home=hdc7 opt=hdc7

hdc7 should be formatted with an Ext4 filesystem.

How was Alan able to install TCL to a FAT partition - I thought we can only install to
linux file systems?

I use FAT 32 for my /tce and have only this /tce on my /dev/hda1
this works OK as lon as I do not have too many extensions in LOAD/ONBOOT/or ONDEMAN

Does it help to prevent problems when I boot with:

tce=hda1 home=hda1 opt=hda1

Can I do that even if I started in the beginning with  tce=hda1  only?
