I had the same problem in my laptop. Everything worked fine in live CD Boot. Then I created a pupsave and reboot, but Puppy saved pup-430.sfs file on hard disk at second boot (I really hate this behavior, I don't have enough free space for each Puppy in my HD, I always use pupsave and nothing elese), and then I lost network driver modules, lost CPU Frequency scaling modules and lost the battery indicator in Task Bar. I had the same problem even in successive boots.cichlasoma wrote:It seems to be similar to one of my problems with 4.30 I've reported above - when I boot from CD and there's just only pupsave-xxx.2fs file on the hard disk, Puppy loads the saved state and finds network devices. Yet, on shutdown, it saves the pup-430.sfs file to hard disk and on the next boot doesn't load any network driver modules and finds no network devices. Deleting the file again helps.Brown Mouse wrote:Yes I fixed my network connection problem by reinstalling.
I'm using the boot from cd method and had Puppy 4.2.1 previously installed as a pupsave file and it didn't like it even after renaming it.
Maybe it's the same for you.I saved a copy of my old 421 file to a flash disc then deleted what was on the hdd,reinstalled 430 and it detects the network card and saves the settings now.
Do you successfully boot from CD repetedly now?
I could fix it just copying the zp430305.sfs file in the same partition where Puppy previously saved the pup-430.sfs file, It's seems a stupid bug. When Puppy boot and find a pupsave it "always" copy pup-430.sfs but not p430305.sfs in the same pupsave's path, then doesn't search further for zp430305.sfs in media devices and just doesn't load any driver.
Hope you could fix your problem cichlasoma, I'm sure you have to copy zp430305.sfs to HD. Please try and feedback.
