I installed acpid-1.0.8-2-i486.pet, rebooted and tried to shutdown computer by pressing the power-button. It switched off without any preparing procedures. Now puppy cannot boot, stops after "Recognising media devices".
What to do ?!!!!

Patriot , i installed your *.pet, rebooted and tried to shutdown computer by pressing the power-button. It switched off without any preparing procedures. Now puppy cannot boot, stops after "Recognising media devices". What to do ?!!!! P.S. Forgot ! Puppy installed on HDD fully, and my com...

rcrsn51 Yes. You push the power button and system shuts down itself and computer. Of cause many linux distros do the same. mikeb I will try... P.S. O ! I corrected menu.lst as i wanted. Now it looks something this: .... # Start GRUB global section timeout 30 color light-gray/blue black/light-gray #...

Cause of trouble with x-server i understood. I did power-off just by pressing power button. I didn't know that Puppy can't work with power of computer like other OS-s.

I cannot do it :( . All i did is get one line at boot: "Linux (on /dev/sda2)", and i still should press "Enter" to begin a boot. What should i read and where can i get it to understand how should menu.lst looks to boot without question just after pressing power-button ? And some ...

Ah it's not just me....a grub booted menu asking if you want a grub booted menu installing......Our's is not to question why..... Delete the crap...you will feel better :D mike I misunderstood. What means "Delete the crap" ? (I'm very newby :oops: ) What exactly and where should i delete ?

maybe it was. Maybe i made a mistake. But i lean towards the view that problem was. OK. If it works - let it works )))

Now i try edit menu.lst to make comp to boot just after switching on, without proposing me to write GRUB files on HDD.
What is the sense in this action ? Why could i want to save GRUB files on HDD ?

Of course no

I did FULL install. It is surely. And i checked presence of initrd folder. There is no it. And something happened ... After you all answered, i switched on my computer and ... it booted without questions (only firstly asked whether to boot from HDD ?) :oops: I don't know how it happened !!! The prob...

rcrsn51 I did full install. mikeb I don't think that i should get a proposition to save settings. I think, it should be saved just after changing. I mean, i shouldn't think about saving settings. When you work in some another OS, you can change for example monitor resolution. And when shut down you...

Hi !
I installed Puppy on hard drive and thought i would get OS, which boots itself. But i still should point to Puppy parameters of my keyboard, monitor and others every time i switch computer on. What should i do to save those one time and Puppy begin boot without my help ?

Thanks !
