thanks for new working link as i am still frustrated with this.the .27 versions that i have tried just dont run as good as deep thought.

[buford]

well the cd works great but when i put it on usb for some reason my external mouse jumps everywhere with every move.

[iscraigh]

I had that problem on one of the .27's remasters on my regulat pc. My AAO seems fine, on my regular pc it only exibited the problem with my wireless mouse.

when i boot from live cd everthing works.
when i boot from usb flash i lose wi-fi and external usb mouse.


why is this?
i have spent so much time searching and reading and coming up with nothing.

p.s. (i keep my save file on my internal HD all my changes seem intact)

You will have to edit your syslinux.cfg or grub menu.lst or extlinux.cfg file and add to the kernel line.

[buford]

i had to boot from cd to access the pen drive then mount it.
i found the syslinux.conf its right there.so it has a different line

that has no smp
so i added after that pci=noacpi pfix=noram
but i dont think it worked.rebooting

didnt work

line says right now:
default vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=atahd pfix=copy nosmp pci=noacpi pfix=noram

[buford]

i changed the line to this and now everything works

default vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=atahd pci=noacpi

thanks iscraigh for pointing me in the right place must have been the pfix=copy nosmp that i deleted

[iscraigh]

Perfect

[buford]

then with confidence i turned around and fixed my deepthought 420 and now my wifi works on it on my acer.wow

Any chance you could email me with an idiot's guide to how you made 4.20 work? I've recently got myself a bargain of an Aspire One 512MB ram and 120GB HD which is great, but I would like to be able to boot and run from USB from time to time to reduce power consumption and extend the battery life. This would seem to be a good answer, and I'd like to know a bit more about configuring linux the way you clever guys seem to be able to do it - it's double dutch to me just now I'm afraid.
Thanks
