Tiny Core v5.2
coreplayer2:
Usually this boot screen flashes by too quickly to read, but I finally caught it :p
When booting using rootfs-520.gz + modules-3813.gz + vmlinuz-3813. during loading of vmlinuz there is a slight momentary pause in the boot process for this message.
--- Code: ---early console in decompress_kernel
Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done.
Booting the kernel
--- End code ---
Is just interesting that I've never noticed it before, or is this new? is a debugging feature?
curaga:
Early console is a debugging feature (to print errors before the console is up), but rest assured it's not sleeping there but doing useful work :)
coreplayer2:
Thank you for the explanation

I just upgraded from 4.7.5 to 5.2 (yes a big jump, but I've been working on the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' principle). Now my installation is broken. It booted when I replaced the core.gz & vmlinuz files & rebooted with the 4.7.5 extension set. Booted to a desktop with jwm-snapshot wm running. No wifi, so connected via cable & did an extension update using the Apps manager-> Maintenance -> updates. On rebooting I get to a cli, no wifi. tce-load-wi says wifi downloaded, but tce-load wifi.tcz says wireless-3.8.13 missing, attempt to tce-load -wi this & get wget error - bad address 'tinycore.mirror.uber.com.au'.
A simple step by step guide to updating TC would be useful - either on the wiki or in the FAQ on the website.
I have updated many times, having used TC since it started, but never had a fail on this scale.
Beginning to think my first instincts were right - 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'
Juanito:
Did you follow the instructions in the release post:

If the mirror is giving problems, it's maybe better to take the extension from:
http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/wireless-3.8.13-tinycore.tcz
..and that avatar from the dsl days still makes me smile :)
