Hello ttuuxxx,
I tried using pup 2.17 and it worked, that is it recognised my sata drive in the laptop. As I said all other pups I have tried based on 412, 431, 520 recognise the laptop drive except your 214X. It's a real shame as I so dearly wanted to use 214X in this machine. Is there anything that can be done?
Thank you.
Hello !
Pup217.1 had K2.6.21.5, while pup214[R|X] has K2.6.18.1. I just checked (with my less knowledgeable tinkering mind ) the kernel config for K2.6.18.1 and couldn't see any obvious module needed for SATA being excluded from pup214's kernel (save for backports), libpata (sata-pata) is enabled and all the (at the time) available sata drivers are enabled.

I dunno, perhaps it'd be possible to dump the K2.6.21.5 (including the initrd modules) onto 214X .

FWIW & Cheers /
MHHP


Lol I tried that one before, It sort of worked, but wasn't stable enough, really there must be a better work around for it.
hmmm maybe he open a terminal in 2.14X and type lsmod
and then do it in 2.17 and see which module isn't loading
oh ya 3 most post and I'll hit 10,000. wow took a few years I think everyone who hits 10,000 post on here should get a free puppy cd in mail
ttuuxxx

Not really sure who this is aimed at but I see ttuuxxx says

Well if I am "he" then as I wrote above I can't try that as 214X just wont load at all.
I appreciate this is not the top laptop in the World but there are loads of them in the UK and who knows elsewhere. And it's just with 214X not 217, 412, 431, 520, other linux distros etc etc that I have this issue. Which is such a shame.

I am willing to help all I can to sort this problem out but I can't do what I can't do if it wont even recognise my sata drives.

I do appreciate that this is all a volunteers' project but if I am wasting my time please just say so as I note that ttuuxx has many irons in the fire and he posts less and less here. Perhaps 214X has seen its time?

But hopefully not.

No it hasn't reached near its end, not even close, I plan on keeping this puppy version for a few more years, maybe 3-5. Smile
I just venture off a bit and help other puppy versions out and then come back again. Smile
I'm still trying to figure it out.

I would say off the top of my head its a kernel issue, 2.14X uses an older kernel, hmmm have you tried any of the 2 series like 2.17, a few pages back there was a few post about updating the same kernel version number with a newer sfs from 4 series, likely the newer kernel 2.6.18.8 from woof series 2 could backport the sata modules. I have a few sata desktop drives and they are found by 2.14X. But I don't have any laptops that have sata drives. So it would be impossible to test. This weekend when I'm not working I'll give it a shot and see.

FWIW,I just booted 214x Top6 in my Windows 7/PCLOS/Lucid 520 desktop with SATA drives and everything is detected here as well.

Hi ttuuxxx,

I tried running 214x on my old p4 1.7 box, but my nvidia gforce2 gts locks up on me very shortly after I get a desktop. I have the same problem with most all the puppies with this card. I got wary 5 going by having the 71.86.14 driver ready to install immediately upon the desktop loading up, otherwise everything locks up tight and am forced to do a hard reset. Same story with this nvidia card on all the puppies I've tried thus far. With the driver it's rock solid, stable.

I'll have to wait for the devX for 214x to become available and see if I can compile the driver. I do want to learn how to do that for sure. Or maybe you or someone could point me to the .pet already compiled for this kernel version?

I'd be much obliged for a point in the right direction. Smile

I like what I've been able to see in 214x. It seems quite fast!

Peace

MU provided an automated installer for the 3D nVidia vendor driver, compatible with Puppy versions 2.12-2.16 back in late 2006 -
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=13114
This includes an older version of the nVidia driver, but it should be fine for a GeForce2.

It also works okay in my other rig with sata drives. It's just this laptop where I am having problems.
As I said before all other linuxs including puppy 217, 412, 431, 520 recognise the sata drive except 214X. So my logic says it has to be something peculiar to how 214X is built.

New tiny update page one,
For certain things like autostart internet, these should be incremental updates.
It works on my system but does it work on yours ?
