   I am trying to boot Slitaz from an SD card. I used dd to copy the Slitaz rolling .iso file to the card. While booting, I can select my keyboard layout, which Slitaz version to boot, and what boot parameters to use. After selecting "base" and no boot parameters, I get the following kernel panic error. (In the photo)

   Is the problem that I am using an SD card? If so, how can I fix this? Will you be adding SD card support to the .iso's?

   Thank you very much for your time.

   Slitaz linux kernel configuration doesn't support booting from sd card reader.
   Slitaz builds MMC drivers as modules and packages them (linux-mmc).
   They're not included on any of the isos.
   If the kernel has a driver that supports your reader it would have to be built into the kernel or might work in an initrd.

   Thank you for your reply, mojo.

   I am new to modification of the Linux kernel or initrd, and I do not know what general steps I should take to enable support for the SD card. Could you give me some pointers on how to do this? I.e., how to load the correct module/driver during boot by recompiling the kernel or changing the initrd.

   Also, I would like to enable support for my ALPS touchpad and my "Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265" WiFi card. Are there specific modules/drivers/packages for these? It is possible that I need a later kernel version to support the above two pieces of hardware.

   I would like to roll my own flavor that has all these features enabled as well.

   Thanks again, in advance, for your help.
