Title: Problems upgrading to TC 3.7
Post by: bernhard on June 17, 2011, 11:24:26 AM

I've got problems when upgrading my tinycore USB stick from 3.6 to 3.7:

when I replace my tinycore.gz (3.6) with the one found here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/3.x/release/distribution_files/tinycore.gz
I get the following error message:

Loading Extensions...Done
Warning! Errors occured during the loading of the extensions.
Request for /mnt/sda1/tce ignored. Not supported on Read-Only File System.
Press Enter Key.

If I proceed with Enter, TC boots up, but hasn't any extensions loaded (i.e., e.g.  no german keyboard layout), but mount tells me that it has my USB stick mounted read-write. I also can edit my menu.lst so that I can boot my saved tinycore_3.6.gz initrd (although it is a bit awkward with the wrong keycaps).

My kernel line (for 3.6 and 3.7) in Grub legacy is:
kernel /boot/bzimage waitusb=5 multivt kmap=qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys noutc
Both entries differ only in the initrd.

Thanks for any help in advance
   regards

If you are using a vfat file system, look for the upcomming 3.7.1 release to fix this.

right. It is an vfat'ed USB stick. Thanks for the quick answer.

If 3.7.1 is already testing, I'm happy to try ...
