PCPUPPYOS

#1 Post by brotek »

I have a dedicated PUPPY hard drive install and have twice downloaded (from www.pcpuppyos.com) and burnt images (iso) to run PCPUPPYOS. At boot up, both discs report the same error message:

"Invalid or currupt kernel image"

I have used the same setup to burn and run MUPPY ok.

I have the same "Invalid or currupt kernel image" problem that brotek has run into. Also downloaded it twice and burnt it with two different programs with the same results.

I finally got a good md5sum from the mirror site in Canada.

I burned it to a CD-RW and it didn't verify as a good burn with cd2iso..

I burned it to a DVD-RW and it DID verify with cd2iso as a good burn..

Then I booted it up - it was slow booting - but that was expected but it took longer than I wanted!

But when it came on the screen after the Xorg Wizard was finished - none of the PCPuppyOS programs were there.

The email was Seamonkey, the write icon was Abiword, - it just was a Puppy 3.01.

I typed mut in a console to see if somehoe PCPuppyOS had mounted one of my Pup_save files. No there was no /intrd/mnt/pup_save file there.

@brotek and issarad: Did you check the md5sum on the iso before burning, to verify that it was a good download?

Running md5sum pcpuppyos_3.01-rc4.iso on it should give you this:
9b88d1c3067f8adfaca1e7439a90af25 pcpuppyos_3.01-rc4.iso

From what I've heard, the ISO on the official site has been giving people trouble. I'm downloading it now myself to check, but I can't actually do anything about that one other than let Friedsonjm know. Meanwhile, you might want to try the mirror: http://www.puppylinux.ca/pizzasgood/pcp ... 01-rc4.iso

Yes, it's a bad iso. Use the mirror I posted instead. I'll let friedsonjm know he needs to correct it.
