   Hi maybl8,

   sad to read this :/

   I don't see correctly error message.
   At begin error "Partition for / not found" it's /dev/nvme0n1p10 ?

   For check partition it's

   # Check Target Partition
   found=no
   LIST_PARTITION=$(fdisk -l | awk '/^\/dev/{printf "%s ",$1}')
   for partition in $LIST_PARTITION; do
   [ "$partition" == "$TGT_PARTITION" ] && found="yes"
   done
   if [ "$found" != "yes" ]; then
   msg "$TGT_PARTITION: $(gettext "Partition for / not found")"; error=yes
   fi

   In case, if fdisk -l, list correctly partition on nvme0n1, normally check should match "partition" = "TGT_PARTITION" :
   "/dev/nvme0n1p10" == "/dev/nmve0n1p10"

   I’m not getting something here. All of that checks out.
   I even tried to change the target to a different drive.
   I just keep getting the message
   1. /dev/nvme0n1p10: Partition for / not found

   Hi maybl8. Ive been catching on the thread. Not sure if I missed it or not but just would like to ask, have you disabled "secure boot"? Ive read it somewhere SliTaz will not boot on pc with this enabled.

   Hi maybl8,

   very strange, because disk allow only 4 primary partitions i retest on qemu nvme emulate disk and try to recreate same scheme you have.

   disk have 10Go, twelve part with last has extended, no problem to install on /dev/nvme0n1p10.

   @ shann,

   [...]

   Could the problem coming from that you test with a DOS partition system but maybl8 uses GPT?

   Hi Ceel, maybl8,

   Infact i retest with GPT partition, issue come here.
   Older tazinst-stable i used not have function to deal with gpt scheme.

   Let's me check how i can adjust it.
   with blkid -o export | grep DEVNAME in both case i have partitions list.

   In attachment script adjusted.

   Diff line 294

   LIST_PARTITION=$(fdisk -l | awk '/^\/dev/{printf "%s ",$1}')
   become
   LIST_PARTITION=$(blkid -o export | grep DEVNAME | sed 's/DEVNAME=//g')

   Don't forget to move them as /usr/sbin/tazinst-stable and use chmod +x /usr/sbin/tazinst-stable

    see attachment my bzimage is bzimage64

    We have success.
    I am installed to the hard drive.
    Need some help in configuring wireless on this system.
    ip a does not show a wireless interface.
    I used wlan0 in the config file but not sure if that is correct.
    I think I listed the specs on this system in a previous post.
    Let me known what you might need for it or what commands I should try to run.
    Once I have wireless connected I can test things like updates and installing packages.

    Also I will want to try to install on a flash drive.

    Thanks for all of this help. I hope it also helps you with your project.

    Hi maybl8,

    hmm

    if remember we have this information

    Network:
    Device-1: Intel Comet Lake PCH-LP CNVi WiFi driver: iwlwifi v: kernel
    bus-ID: 00:14.3 chip-ID: 8086:02f0 class-ID: 0280
    IF: wlan0 state: up mac: <filter>
    Info: services: NetworkManager, systemd-networkd, systemd-timesyncd,
    wpa_supplicant

    In case use iwlwifi, normally already available (my work laptop has also wireless intel).

    Maybe miss firmware ?
    for AX601 if it's your card you need iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-59.ucode

    You could get it on :
    https://people.slitaz.org/~shann/slitaz-current-stuff/firmware-iwlwifi/iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-59.ucode
    And put it to your root partition on usb stick in '/lib/firmware' folder

    Can you please check it with this command dmesg | grep firmw

    The ucode file worked . I am now on slitaz on my hard drive install the nvme0n1p10 partition.

    Is there anything you would like me to test . Updates etc.

    Thanks

    My next task is to get this installed on a USB flash drive and make it persistent or just install it.
    I made one attempt and I failed.
    I'll try again and see what errors I got.
    Thanks this has been a fun journey and I hope I have helped you guys.
