   Hi tiziano,

   One remark regarding the umount command:
   You cannot umount two devices on one line.
   I know this was in the example but I really meant it like
   umount /dev/sda1
   umount /dev/sda3

   Automounting is a problem that I ran into myself while creating the image so it really makes sense to unmount the devices before starting the installation.

   Hi emgi,

   thank you for additional hint - hope to be successful somehow

   one more doubt concerning /boot folder in the slitaz-rpi-desktop-20140329.tar

   in the cmdline.txt file it's following to read: `root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rootwait quiet
   ` - the /dev/mmcblk0p3 is the SD card partition name I see in the debian environment
   this is also the partition named when the rpi returns the booting error - same error message either if I use slitaz partition (sda) or debian (mmcblk0) -
   does it matter?

   This is correct. On the Pi, partions are named mmcblk0p.. and that's what the cmdline is referring to.
   When creating the SD card, it is mounted as another device; the only thing that matters is the number of the partition, in both cases number three.

   Hello can You please help me!

   1)I download sliTaz raspberry pi desktop 20140329.
   2) Make 3 partitions on my SD card. For this i use GParted Partition Editor (I have sliTaz on my laptop)

   - fat32 boot partition
   - linux-swap partition
   - ext4 root partition

   copy in fat32 boot partition content of boot folder.
   copy in ext4 partition content of rootfs folder.

   Copy not folders, only content. I hope its correct.

   Now i

   put sd card in sliTaz laptop with partitions and files
   copy "install.sh" in /install.sh directory
   open terminal and enter
   su
   (password)
   /install.sh

   But in result i have nothing.

   Help me please!!!

   Hi Dmitry

   Looking at the README file in the slitaz-rpi-desktop-20140329 directory:

   SliTaz Raspberry Pi - Cooking/Release - http://arm.slitaz.org/rpi
   ================================================================================

   boot/ : Must be copied to a FAT32 partition
   rootfs/ : Must be copied to an ext4 or btrfs partition

   Installation script
   -------------------
   Be sure the SD card has got 3 partitions (boot,swap,root). Then you simply have
   to run the install.sh script from this SliTaz Raspberry Pi release directory:

   # ./install.sh

   ===============================================================================

   It really means that you should format /boot to a FAT32 partition and root to a ext4 partition (which you've already done).

   You don't need to copy any files over.

   If you run the ./install.sh script from INSIDE the slitaz-rpi-desktop-20140329 directory it will copy the files over for you and you should see some messages when running the script.

   Hi tiziano,

   On a Debian system you've got the install.sh script for the variable dev pass the string
   mmcblk0p
   So in the end is not 0 but p then the script executed properly.

   Hi everyone! I now start the script. Files will be automatically added to partitions. I try make partitions by two ways:

   by fdisk

   by G parted

   in both cases ill have in result this window after card installetion

   

   Script working well without mistakes. Partition i also make well. What the problem?

    Exact same error from April 2014 in slitaz-rpi-no-boot thread.
    Try Pauls permissions solution from post 31165:
    Boot into i486 slitaz,open terminal as root.
    Assuming the sd card ext4 formated partition with slitaz pi rootfs installed is sdc3.
    Mount the pi sd card ext4 formated partition sdc3 holding the rootfs.
    mount /dev/sdc3 /media/rootfs
    chown -R root:root /media/rootfs

    @Joerg & all interested Forum friends,

    This is a very Long issue as you can see in this post history - this is also, as I could experience, a not-easy-to-solve hurdle - the Arm section of the forum shows in the end several open items on this issue - I can tell you my impression - please bear in mind that I'm kind of newby and even if I'm successfully using Slitaz with an old pc and I'm happy with it, I'm using different distribution on other pc/Laptops - I love Slitaz for instance run from a live USB - Found it essential, usefull and definitely brilliant.

    Coming back to Arm for raspi - here my experience and Personal opinion:

    ▪️ Partitioning and preparing the SD Card is not an easy job - at least for newbies - best explained solution the one given by emgi in this post (see above)
    ▪️The install.sh suggested by Slitaz raspi section contains a bug in the script - see error mentioned by mojo
    ▪️Even with the correct script if the partition is not corret obviously it does not work
    ▪️Often It not works at the very first attempt even if anything seems to be ok
    ▪️The ones who succeeded please refer your experiences
    ▪️on the other hand The raspberry org official distros, such as Raspbian or Pidora are stable and easy-to-install (see NOOBS for reference)
    It depends of course on what you would live to do with your raspi - find out what the best ditro for your needs

    According to my experiences, after several attemps I lost my patience and moved to Raspbian - very easy and user-friendly with berryboot for instance - noobs is also easy but has some problems with double boots -
    This is a pity indeed because I love Slitaz but also I hadn't the time to further try and test in order to have a working raspi in a relative short time

    Some suggestions for Slitaz raspi developers.

    1⃣ make it easier
    2⃣ why don't you create an .img file to easely install into the raspi with the instruction given by any raspi manual? With berryboot loading an .img is a few minutes work
    3⃣ you're risking to keep Slitaz in an unknown niche
    4⃣ I was reading in the forum lately that Slitaz went down in the distowatch.... Losing visibility. Wonder why?

    Sorry for this long post, probably not useful for anybody

    Sorry,

    I just wanted to say that it is so work on my debian system.

    I just wanted to help.

    I understand that many are upset when something does not work the same, especially if you take a lot of time. But you should also think about how much time and effort the developer and all here invest in the forum to make the system better (step by step).

    There can be many reasons (different hardware), if something does not work the same.

    so long
