Grub4DOS + Persistence on HDD

Hi

I use grub4dos on hdd with slitaz iso.

(formatted fat32)

(created boot folder on driver c and copied files there)

(used bootlace for boot record)

it's booting and working well. But doesnt save any changes. (creating folder or installing applications)

# SliTAZ

default 0

timeout 0

title slitaz

rootnoverify(0,0)

kernel /boot/bzImage slitaz home=hd0 autologin lang=en kmap=us

initrd /boot/rootfs.gz

* I tried tazusb writefs for changes and automaticly created rootfs.gz in root folder. I copied this file under driver c and restart the os. but doesnt work. giving FAILED errors.

any suggestions?

Re: Grub4DOS + Persistence on HDD

The partition you designate as home= on the kernel line of boot loader menu must be formated in a linux file system (ext3) for persistence to work.

Re: Grub4DOS + Persistence on HDD

As i learned i cant save file for fat32.

So in this case i just use another partition (ext3 formatted) for persistence to work

Re: Grub4DOS + Persistence on HDD

you are missing "rw" in the parameters.

kernel /boot/bzimage rw root=/dev/null home=4029-E1EB lang=en_US kmap=us

i use fat32 and specify the UUID in "home=".

Do you have a solution for Slim "Failed to execute login command" for regular user ?

Re: Grub4DOS + Persistence on HDD

How come it doesnt work in my pc.

Even i tried now "rw" parameter, also put UUID.

I use slitaz 3.
