Cannot Boot Puppy2 from PCMCIA CD-ROM

#1 Post by jaxpilot »

Greetings,
I have a Sony Picturebook with 64 GB RAM and a PCMCIA CD-ROM drive. I was able to get puppy 1.09CE running and loaded onto an ext2 partition on my hard drive. In fact, that is still working, both from CD and from hard drive. When I try to boot Puppy2 after what appears to be a normal initial startup, a bunch of USB messages appear, and then the following messages:

USB Mass Storage support registered
Detecting connected USB storage device (there are not any)
ERROR, cannot find puppy on idecd boot media
PUPMODE=1 PDEV1=
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

At this point the laptop is hung and requires a hard reset. Any ideas? Thanks.

Paul

there's no support yet for booting from pcmcia.
pakt did some work on this, so do a search in the pup2 developer's forum:

I too have a Picturebook. Except it only has 64M or RAM, not 64G.

1.0.n versions of Puppy would boot and I installed something like 1.0.5 to hard drive. Which works cleanly.

But Puppy2 produces exactly the same hang symptoms for me too.
