What GRUB menu.lst entry are you using for Puppy?

title Puppy 412 - load pupsave

ary)
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/inpup412.gz

title Puppy 412 - don't load pupsave
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmpup412 root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=usbflash pfix=ram #(PMEDIA
is necessary)
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/inpup412.gz
boot

The menu.lst looks OK, except that you no longer need the "root=/dev/ram0".

You mention that you have both a USB hard drive and a flash drive connected. I would disconnect one of them and see what happens.

Try shutting down by choosing "Exit to Prompt". Then type "reboot". This may give Puppy a chance to run the pupsave dialog.

Another possibility is to get a pupsave file from another install and put it on the USB device. If Puppy detects it at bootup, it may also use it a shutdown.

That was successful. I haven't tried the other suggestions.

Maybe this will help?
