Title: ucore boot issues (motherboard specific)
Post by: jedd999 on December 13, 2012, 04:42:54 PM

I have a ucore set-up which works as follows:

System boots into DOS
use Grub4DOS bootloader to boot to TinyCore
Boot options:

Code: [Select]

title Tiny Core Linux
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /tce/vmlinuz
kernel /tce/vmlinuz quiet cl=root=700 waitusb=5 restore text superuser
initrd /tce/core.gz /tce/ntfs-3g.gz

This works across the board, but on one motherboard I have, as its booting it will stop when it says "Scanning hard disk partitions to create /etc/fstab"

I have searched around a bit for a solution, but I have not been able to find much.

Any ideas / suggestions for where to start?

+ I grabbed the latest core.gz and vmlinuz and the issue persists... not sure if this is a hardware support issue, or if something else is going on here...

Remove the "quiet" parameter to see more.

What is "root=700" supposed to achieve?

Hi jedd999
Does this motherboard have SCSI connected drives by any chance?
