Persistence Question - How is my ethernet still working ?

<< < (8/9) > >>

MTCAT:
Hi Rich,

One catch regarding the latest TCscan.sh, I forgot to mount my 128 GByte CF-card before running TCscan.sh, hope that's alright.

Thanks, I will e-mail WinSystems about the BIOS "hot-key" hopefully they will know which key is supposed to be used for that.

Thanks,

David

Yes, that's OK.

First lets install some extensions:

--- Code: ---tce-load -wi compiletc perl5 bash ncursesw-dev bc-1.06.94 glibc_apps elfutils-dev
--- End code ---

Now lets create persistent /home and /opt directories. Open your  extlinux.conf  file:

--- Code: ---sudo editor /mnt/sdb1/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf &
--- End code ---

Change this:

--- Code: ---APPEND initrd=/boot/tinycore.gz quiet  waitusb=5 waitusb=5:UUID="18753acd-09c4-4d53-a924-9e7251dd57e7" tce=UUID="18753acd-09c4-4d53-a924-9e7251dd57e7"
--- End code ---

To this:

--- Code: ---APPEND initrd=/boot/tinycore.gz quiet waitusb=10:UUID="18753acd-09c4-4d53-a924-9e7251dd57e7" tce=UUID="18753acd-09c4-4d53-a924-9e7251dd57e7" home=UUID="18753acd-09c4-4d53-a924-9e7251dd57e7" opt=UUID="18753acd-09c4-4d53-a924-9e7251dd57e7"
--- End code ---

Then  File->Save.  Then click the  Exit  icon, select  Reboot, and OK.

When the system comes back up, run another scan for me.

Thanks Rich, I'll try that later today, work as usual is in the way of my play-time ! I was happy to see already though that I was able to install pciutils.tcz,  powered-down  and then powered back up, and lspci still worked, awesome !, so that was nice, I do see a weird pci related error though during bootup of TC3.8.4, something about memory locations and a pci bridge...hopefully it's not related to my ADC card.

Thanks,

David

Hi Rich,

Sorry for the delay, here's the output of ./TCscan.sh !

One thing, the UUID number in your post was different than what I saw in extlinux.conf so I just used the same UUID that was in my .conf file (copy and paste) for the home=UUID=..... and the opt=UUID=.... lines, hopefully that was the right thing to do ?

Thanks,

David

Perfect. One more step. Now that you have persistent /home and /opt directories, there is no longer any reason to
run backups on them. I seem to remember older versions of Tinycore would balk if there was nothing listed in the
/opt/.filetool.lst  file. So do this:

--- Code: ---sudo touch /tmp/dummy
--- End code ---

--- Code: ---sudo echo "tmp/dummy" > /opt/.filetool.lst
--- End code ---

 * This will backup/restore an empty file which will be very quick.
 * This will allow you to still add files to be backed up if needed.


Then click the  Exit  icon, select  Reboot, and OK.

That last scan looks good.
