PlayDays, Rerwin,

Thanks for your continued support. If you plan to spend some energy in the remastering process, I am eager to follow that activity.

Playdayz,

Something to consider adding to PPM or putting in an instant update.

Easy way to do a backup of the save file. Adds right click menu option to make backup using Pschedule.

I would try this: boot 528 without a save file and immediately Shutdown and create a save file, rather than installing anything--don't change window managers.

Hmm, if that doesn't work, perhaps boot 528 and install the Instant update 001 and then Shutdown and create a save file.

Then, do change window managers, Desktop Settings -> WM Switcher.

Are you creating the save file on a Linux partition?

Or short circuit the problem, and make a copy of a previous Lucid save file, then choose that to boot, and let 528 upgrade it. Do try this *with a copy* of a previous save file

sszindian replied: Even when I use another previously working savefile from another Lupu version, I get the Kernel Panic on a restart and reboot.

I guess you are sure you have enough space on the save file partition--Puppy checks before it offers you the size choices, but who knows.

sszindian replied: I have tons of available space.

I even installed and used shonobars savefile.pet creator and upon reboot or startup got the same Kernel Panic after selecting it.

Sure beats me, never had a savefile be so stubborn before?

And like I said.... on a shutdown or reboot from 528 loaded strictly in RAM, a savefile 'Is Created' but it gives the Kernel Panic on startup or reboot.

On shutdown, the savefile goes as far as letting me create the unique-name for it (and I've tried several) but the 2nd part where it is supposed to ask if I want to copy files from the CD to the HDD 'Never Happens!' It just starts creating the savefile to the HDD (which in fact it does) then shuts down (or reboots) according to my quiting command. Next reboot or startup.... Kernel Panic!

sszindian, Darn. Have you tried Three-Headed Dog? As I say often Wink

it is identical to 5.2.8, but with the newer 2.6.37.6 kernel from Slacko and upgraded multimedia components.

Yes.... 3-hd'd dog works perfect... I found no problems at all with it so far in my testing.

I also tried:

lupu_528_k3.0.4_SMP(cpu)
new kernel 3.0.4
[ Goto page: 1, 2, 3, 4 ] wuxiandianzi

and that gives me the same Kernel Panic thingy! Although it (like the regular 528) initially loads and runs (like 528) and really works nice (very fast) I asked 'wuxiandianzi' if he would make a .pet of the 3.0.4 Kernel so others can try it in various puppy's, I hope he does as I say... the speed is very impressive in 528 version he made.

Anyway, because I get the same Kernel Panic in BOTH your 528 and his 3.0.4.Kernel-528, I am believing there is something in 528 itself, somewhere that is causing the problem.

playdayz:

Not a problem using 3-headed-dog, I just wanted you to know the problem with 528 (at least on my machine) as I'm sure you are likely to run into problems down the road with other users if 528 stays as a major distro!

I test whatever versions I can and try to help! It's a lot of work as I'm sure you know... one thing, would sure like to see the 304 Kernel in 3-headed down the road?
