Re: usb trouble

More information please:

[*]Does your hardware support booting from usb?

The motherboard bios menu would include usb for boot priority/order if it does.
[*]What tool did you use to install slitaz to the usb flash?

[*]What bootloader is installed to the usb flash?

[*]Do you see the boot menu before the "Boot Error"

Re: usb trouble

1. My pc is a Desktop Intel Pentium D @1.6GHz + 1GB RAM, it`s configured as boot from usb first

2. I`ve used UNetBootin to install slitaz in my usb Kingston DT 101 4gb

3. It`s using syslinux as a bootloader

4. No, it directly returns "Boot Error" after the BIOS info(after turning on the PC)

Re: usb trouble

i`ve tested a slitaz custom flavor(xvesa-based, added mplayer+codecs and xarchive+xarchiver) on a laptop HP 550(Intel Core2Duo @1,6GHz 2GB Ram) in the same usb drive and this time it returns some lines in hex saying error code 0x## in the whole screen like another post in this forum, using unetbootin

Re: usb trouble

Since you used netbootin. I think you have windows as a main OS. If that is the case then download tazusb and install the slitaz-3.0.iso to your USB drive and it should work, am 99% sure of it.

Re: usb trouble

Hi, this SliTaz is divine! Conquered my life...

I have exactly same problems like Anonymous (also xvesa flavour), no unetbootin or µ$oft, all pure tazusb! After installing Mplayer+codecs, or VLC+dependencies and at least with xine-ui. Must be one of those I grabbed from tazpkg log file:

Re: usb trouble

OK, i don't need those player/codecs anymore for my purpose.

Just wanted to give a good, old friend a screencast tutorial of my lovely modified flavour and even got a better solution now with ogg, ogv and portable firefox 17

Keep on, SliTaz rocks so hard, can't hardly wait diggin deeper & deeper <3
