boot up failure using EZREMASTER in tiny core plus
« on: March 12, 2013, 04:10:56 AM »
hello,

I seem to have the issue of Kernel Panic with the bootloader not able to find my init file when i try to boot up with my remastered ISO image from ezremaster.

my entire process includes:

1) create a remastered image using ezremaster by following the steps as mentioned :
                        http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:remastering_kmap_iso

2) instead of saving into a temp folder, i saved it into a USB drive

3) transfer the ISO image to another terminal and use UNETBOOTIN to create a USB bootable-remastered image

however, im kinda stucked with a kernel panic message(as above).  After copying the INIT file into the USB drive , theres no kernel panic error , but remastered image still failed to boot.


is there any recommended way for me to enrol my remastered image into a usb drive and boot up from there?

thanks!

Using unsupported installer would lead to unpredictable results.
There is a supported installer included in CorePlus.

Hmm, having had a look at that link, looks like the author is using memdisk to load the whole .iso file into RAM.
Not sure why you wanted to do that, I'd guess that would need a particular bootloader configuration to be set up, and also would use additional RAM of about the size of the .iso file, if I understand right that is.

the entire objective behind these steps is that, i wanted to create a customized Tiny core plus os ( with my apps such as dropbox) that is bootable from a USB drive ! is there any methods you can recommend? sorry ! im really new to linux, its features and its command prompts !

thanks again !

Have you tried to burn the ISO ezremaster generates to a CD and see if it is working from there?   I understand this isn't your goal but it might help in troubleshooting the issue.

jolene, you need to learn how to reply in forums...
If you solve the issue, you state how you done it (that is the point of haring knowledge), and not just say "I done it..."
