[solved]... extensions not loading

[mb0]

so, pretty much out of the blue, none of my extensions are loading. The only thing i can think of is that extlinux.conf might have a tiny error and this is causing nothing to load? does that sound feasible? (otherwise seems to work fine). [posting isn't easy b/c no extensions]

What else might be the problem?? the onboot.lst is fine..

??

No TC version number, neither it is TC or MC, where are extensions stored, ...

Do not expect too much help.

microcore, 4.1.. extensions are stored.. in /mnt/sda1/tce, ie persistant. (NB: i've had it working, for a long time.. just messed up now)

You may need boot code 'waitusb=5'

Show the output of 'showbootcodes'.

[mb0]

ok typing this... (fyi its on HDD)

initrd=/boot/microcore.gz quiet embed noswap noicons home=sda1 opt=sda1 blacklist=snd-intel8x0m UUID="[hex stuff]" tce=UUID="[hex stuff]" BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz

[gerald_clark]

That first UUID= should not be there.
Now post the output of 'showbootcodes' without changing it and also show the output of 'blkid | grep sda' and
the contents of /opt/.filetool.lst

[mb0]

u mean you want the UUIDs?.... first is


95a7b2a6-9373-4d73-8e50-306db277df07... then.. oooh the second has an si at the end otherwise the same..  i guess this is the issue??

blk... gives;

/dev/sda1: UUID="" ^^ that one
/dev/sda3: UUID = different one...

E: yes, added 'si' removed and all is well. Thanks for the swift help.

If you have only one /tce directory, it will be found automatically by TC, no need to specify with boot code. Just remome tce=... and try.

One more question. Where /etc/sysconfig/tcedir points to?
