Dear all,

I've downloaded slitaz-rolling-core.iso and extracted vmlinuz-3.2.40-slitaz and rootfs.gz to /dev/sda1
If I start this with grub all is well.
```
title Install Slitaz Rolling
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-3.2.40-slitaz rw root=/dev/null
initrd /rootfs.gz
```
Now I install to /dev/sda4 via slitaz-installer.
The grub-entry to start this installation:
```
title Slitaz-rolling on sda4
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.40-slitaz root=/dev/sda4
```
This does not work!
The root=/dev/sda4 filesystem is not mounted and processing stops after the execution of init.
The only directories I can see are those who are created by init.
Can someone please help me out.
I like Slitaz.

P.S,

All partitions are ext4

Hi dutchman
I've Slitaz stable + rolling on my old PC : only one disk (40Go)+0.5Go (RAM)
First I've installed SLitaz 4.0 (stable) and after Slitaz Rolling on an empty partition
/dev/hda1 is mounted on / (stable)
/dev/hda3 is mounted on /home (stable)
/dev/hda5 is swap
/dev/hda6 is / for Rolling
A little problem :
Partition table entries are not in disk order
but no consequence !

My bootloader is grub of Slitaz stable
Here my menu.lst :

title SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root=/dev/hda1 quiet LANG=fr_FR.UTF8 kmap=fr-latin1

title Slitaz-Rolling(on hda6)
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2-slitaz root=/dev/hda6 ro quiet

The installation of Rolling is a little tricky : the bootloader (syslinux) is on hda6
All things are ok. I don't know if I helped you.

Perhaps you'd have to change
root=/dev/sda4
by
root=/dev/hda4

By default, SliTaz do not provide support for Scsi disks, be sure that hard disks in your virtualization environment are not configured with a Scsi interface (BusLogic).

No, it was IDE HD. Today i tried to install slitaz 4.0 on same virtual machine and I had no problems booting it.

Key Master

The kernel compiled on March 22,2013 solves the issue on a full install to hard drive.
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/qnzjuk44mwdn2df/vmlinuz-3.2.40-slitaz
Boot the live cd,mount the partition with the install,replace kernel.

You can try with http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?download=../wok/linux/taz/linux-3.2.40/fs/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.40-slitaz too.

The fix: http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/781029802e4a

A new rolling has been built.

Thanks for the report.
