@ tempestuous : Thanks for answering. I really appreciate your effort to provide a thorough answer to my request, and as you say, this is no trivial matter. In my ignorance I thought it would be a simple app that would run like a daemon, that would detect LVM partitions and would mount them accordin...

Thank @tempestuous and @rcrsn51. Found the file and installed it. After installation, do I have to do anything else? Because still, the LVM partition doesn't show in the list of mounted drives. Thanks for your help.

@rcrsn51:

Sorry, I get an error when I try to download from the url you suggested. Are there alternative locations? Thanks.

Hi:
I was triying to troubleshoot a laptop using my PupRescue stick and found out that my Puppy wasn't able to mount an LVM2 partition. So, I had to stop the activity. Is there an update for Puppy that solves this problem? Thanks.

L18L:

The thread that you gave me talks about a utility called PupSaveConfig. Do you think this utility would help me, at least, to decide to save or not to save at shut down? Will it work with PupRescue_Precise? Thanks.

L18L: Thanks for answering. Yes, I followed the instructions as the image shows. I even ran the script again to verify that the line I inserted was there. My init script has esac following with blank lines in the following: line 317 ;; line 318 esac line 319 (blank) line 875 ;; line 876 esac line 8...

L18L: Thanks a lot for the help given. Now, I am able to edit initrd.gz without problem, but, following instructions on Part B of, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=57380 did not produce the effect I was expecting (a quicker shut down). I inserted the recommended line (PUPMODE=12) below ...

L18L: The only problem that I now have with PupRescue is: Is there a way to accelerate the shut down process? It takes awful long time when the system is saving to the flash drive. I tried the solutions as per: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=57380 Part A didn't work for me. Part B: I ...

Karl: Thanks for the education you are providing pertaining to the pc-mouse I'm having problems with. The mouse connected to the DELL workstation is a Logitech PS2 mouse manufactured for DELL. Below is the section of the xorg.conf file pertaining to the mouse. Please, advice what other protocol(s),...

CatDude, Monsie: Finally, was able to test my stick on another machine with legacy hardware. PupRescue worked as expected, recognizing the hardware and operating normally. Apparently, the machine that originated the problem must have some type of hardware issue that froze PupRescue. Will consider t...

CatDude: Thanks for clarifying about by version of PupRescue. I'm also aware about the pae requirements for Puppy. The machines that I'm troubleshooting now are relatively modern and recognize the page address extension spec (I assume). That is why I'm going to try a different machine (that is OK) ...

Bert:

Thanks for your input. Tried that one too, but nothing happens. Well, I'm positive that one of the multitude of geeks that exist in this forum will know the answer for my problem. Thanks for your interest.

bigpup: Thanks for answering. From the information you give me, then, I don't have a save file. The only file at the location you mention, that has the word precise in the name, is PupRescue_Precise.sfs. The machine I am trying to troubleshoot is a Dell workstation that has a usb keyboard but a leg...

Bert:

Tried part B as you suggested but could not complete it. When I ran the command, this is what happened:

mill001, bibpup: Sorry abt my insufficient knowledge on this area. I changed pfix=copy to pfix=ram and I didn't observe any difference. In both cases, at boot up, there's a line that says: Loading Pup_Rescue Precise.sfs to ram There is no change in the rest of the boot up process. Needless to say, ...

bigpup:

So, what I need to do is to change in the extlinux.conf the line that says: , where it says pfix=copy to pfix=ram. Right? The part about the save file, I haven't understood that feature yet. Need explanation. Please, advice.

bigpup Thanks for answering. The main purpose of my Pup_Rescue is to troubleshoot computers of different kinds (laptops, workstations, towers, etc). So it should be able to recognize different hardware configurations. Well, that is my intended use. I'm assuming that when I connect my Puppy to a dif...

Hi!
I'm trying to troubleshoot a machine that has a PS2 mouse. When I boot up with my Pup_Rescue stick, the mouse arrow is frozen. My Puppy works ok with a usb mouse. Any ideas to solve this? Thanks.

mike:

Sorry, Mark, the error message that I told you above was not your fault. It was my typographical error. That corrected the error message and the issue of hitting enter to go to Puppy. Thanks to your help this problem is solved.

Cheers!

mike; Everything worked almost as expected. It took me several downloads until I got the right binary that worked. The only little problem I have is, that in order to boot puppy, I have to type puppy. It doesn't work by hitting enter. Since there is no menu system to choose between puppy and memtes...
