Remaster Issue : Changing Xvesa to Xorg

<< < (2/2)

CentralWare:
@Misalf: I may have done things (the script-let) a bit differently...  but that's the beauty of it all.  I could go Right...  you go Left...  the only thing that matters is the destination! :)

I still have to stand by my suggestion regarding booting just Core and trying things from a fresh CLI, then monitoring any differences regarding your hardware layout.  In so many cases things hiccup over missing/lacking firmware and drivers and with a clean slate, it's much easier to detect (in my opinion.)

Good luck and keep us apprised!

I use the boot to CLI mode whenever am starting a new project then load each extension one a once to reslove any issues.

When creating repeatable full working TC images I use nothing else but ezremaster which produces consistently reliable bootable tinycore images, honestly I can't imagine using anything else..   However, Initially I had some teething problems and it took a while to understand all the options, but that was my bad not ezremaster.   Id give ezremaster another try and perhaps use a script for consistent results as explained in the info file

Many thanks for all of your helpful suggestions. After a lot of head scratching and learning I finally got to the root of the problem.

The reason why it works from the command line using tce-load -iw xf86-video-intel Xorg-7.7-3d is after delving into the tce-load shell, because of the

simonc_67:
oops sorry.

tce-load does a depmod -a followed by a udevadm trigger.

Once you put these commands in the tc-config file after the tce-installed code it all starts to work.

I've learnt a lot more about tinycore along the way. I think the reason why ezremaster does not work in this case is that I am embedding the extensions in the initrd. I use the images for PXE boot so that is a neccessity. And also why they do not work as tce-load is never called upon.

Once again thanks for all the help.

gerald_clark:
With PXE boot you can use nfs, aoe, or nbd to supply a tce directory for onboot and backups.
