if i had forget some information, pls tell me, i will try to provide them.

Thanks

Hard to say with a remaster, but your sudo log at least looks like copy mode/copy2fs.

hello Halma

• I'm curious to know what "tce=$BLKID" resolves to?
• Assuming you have a tce directory what is the outcome of "showapps" boot code?
• While unrelated, do you really need both noutc and tz= bootcodes?

and so far
i will try to recompile the kernel with loop buildin support, something like this: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y
i removed noutc .... lets see that my local time is correct after that ...
thanks so far

[coreplayer2]

hi coreplayer2
tce=$BLKID will generate a BlockID alias UUID for the Directory like this ->

Code: [Select]

Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz64_9.0_4.14.10_xen initrd=/boot/corepure64_9.0_4.14.10_xen.gz console=tty0 console=ttyS0,57600n8 nozswap waitusb=5 root=UUID="ecfb7bd6-79ba-47a0-ba2f-5589f75cf137" tce=UUID="ecfb7bd6-79ba-47a0-ba2f-5589f75cf137" nodhcp noutc syslog tz=Europe/Berlin host=xenbox

Ok thanks,  I didn't realize BLKID was a builtin.  But how do you know the UUID is correct?   If it's the only device then why even use UUID?

"showapps" indicates an attempt to load extensions, but are we assuming it's looking at the correct device?

i will try to recompile the kernel with loop buildin support, something like this: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y

You would probably do better to start with the tinycore kernel config here:

http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/x86_64/release/src/kernel/config-4.14.10-tinycore64

..and then make the changes you require.

Hi Juanito,
thats the .config which i allready are using atm for 4.14.10-tinycore64, but as seen in the posts above, i have problem with this .config, setting up from "CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m" to "CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y" works.
