tinycore_v2.6rc1

4096 repo is reinstated.

I jumped the gun with switching away from it.

tinycore_v2.6rc1a is now posted.  The only change is GNU mount replaces busybox mount.

2.6rc1a is still freezing randomly as 2.6rc1

Bmarkus, is that still with no extensions being loaded?

And booting from usb?   And using UUID labels instead of device names?

What do you mean using UUID labels instead of device names ?

That is, if boot parameters are used.

I'm using an 512k stick with two primary partititions:

1 - 64M FAT
2 - rest is EXT3 which contains only an empty /tce and /lost+found

2.6rc1a is booted first with 'tinycore waitusb=5' When started, tried to install LXDE with appbrowser which got frozen half way. Restartring it with 'tinycore waitusb=5' during loading extensions I see this message:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on =dev/loop7, missing codepage or helper program, ...

occured while loading: /mnt/sdb2/tce/gnome-icon.-theme.tcz
Press Enter key

ENTER doesn't work.

It is freezing randomly at different phases, for example now the last message is 'Setting Timezone' when restarted.

Thanks.

I will test something tonight, I think I may know what will fix it if 2.5 works fine with that set of extensions.

Sounds good. Same set, same USB, same PC works fine with 2.5

This is how I boot - i.e. usb and uuid - and I don't see any problems
