slitaz 4 loopfs install

should the loopfs install described here http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:uncommoninst#loop-install

work with sitaz 4 (never tried it with slitaz 3)

I worked a while on the setup but get error messages at boot time

I can boot the image in memory

then later I get a message saying

mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt failed : invalide argument

Sleep for 2 seconds... mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt failed

Into loop file boot/slitaz.fs...

iosetup : /dev/loop0: No such file or directory

bio too big device /dev/loop0 (2>0)

ext4-fs (loop0): unable to read superblock

FAT: unable to read boot sector

isofs_fill_super:bread failed, dev=loop0, iso_blknum=16, block[[did not record the end of msg]

then it stalls, i can reboot with ctrl+alt+del (no panic)

LZMA also complained when i installed the fs (command unlzma -c /media/cdrom/boot/rootfs.gz | ( cd /mnt; cpio -idmu )

it complained it reached the end of the file unexpectedly (maybe the complaint was from cpio)

but loopmounting the slitaz.fs, the fs looked fine.

Any hint ? tx

And happy new year to all, of course

I understood the pb I had in the meantime (concatenating the rootfs.gz files, I believe)

Will give it another try, unless someone tells me it is known for not working
