Persistence Question - How is my ethernet still working ?

<< < (7/9) > >>

Hi Rich,

I did check to see if my USB drive shows in the BIOS, it does under the "USB Drives Enabled", just says "1 Drive".

I also tried changing my boot priority 1 from "USB", to "Removable Device", didn't do anything unfortunately.

I also tried hitting F11 on power up, unfortunately I do not get a Boot menu of any kind, it just goes right into Lubuntu off the CF-card.

Thanks,

David

Hi Rich,

For the heck of it, I tried to make a boot-stick with Rufus, I thought for sure that would work, it did not, still just booted into Lubuntu, the plot thickens, maybe I'll try a different USB stick, the one I'm trying is an old 1 GByte stick....

MTCAT:
Hi Rich,

Holy moly, it was the bloody pen drive ! !, feels like two days wasted on an old 1Gbyte stick (now in the garbage), I followed your instructions with a new 16 GByte stick, and voila, TinyCore 3.8.4 boots up now no problem ! !

Sorry for all the hassle, should have just started with a new pen drive, wow.

I'll try and run the TCscan.sh now, I think you wanted me to do that still.

Thanks for your patience.

David

Hi MTCAT
Good, I was about to recommend that you get in touch with WinSystems support staff:
https://www.winsystems.com/support/

And ask them:
Which BIOS settings effect whether a thumb drive will be recognized as a bootable device ?
Which "hot key" is used to call up the boot menu ?

You might still want to ask them the second question, and why they didn't document it.

MTCAT:
Hi Rich,

Here's the results of TCscan.sh on the "new" install of TinyCore3.8.4, as you instructed, I did a b/u to the pen drive (sdb1) before running TCscan.sh, hopefully everything is normal now.

Thanks,

David
