Ingo Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I can't seem to find the thread about the episode anymore... maybe just my own incompetense, but anyways... Has anyone got Trinity Rescue Kit boot off MultiPass without problems? First TRK tells me that no CD was found and starts to check for HDDs and USB sticks Then it tells me that "cat: /etc/trkhd: No cusch file or directory" "Seems we didn't find anything yet. Trying CD-drives once more" "Trying to find TRK on your 0 CD-drive(s)" "Seems we didn't find teh TRK medium" Then it asks me to manualy enter the device, so I give my USB stick which is "sdb1" and again "/trk/trk3/trkramfs: No such file or directory" and I get root@(none):# promp My MultiPass lines for TRK title Trinity Rescue Kit 3.3 build 321 kernel /TRK/kernel.trk initrd=/initrd.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose initrd /TRK/initrd.trk Any ideas how to make this boot normaly?

H@L0_F00 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thread Pick one: How to get Trinity Rescue Kit up and running 1. Copy the TRK ISO contents to the "Root" of your USB Stick 2. Rename your USB stick to "TRK_3-3" without quotes... if you do not do this it will give you the error that it cannot find the CD etc. 3. Add this to your "menu.lst" title Trinity Rescue Kit configfile /submenu.lst 4. Create another list file called "submenu.lst" and add this to it. Note: You dont need them all just the ones you want to use or if you only want a couple you can just add them to your menu.lst instead. title Main-menu configfile /menu.lst title TRK 3.3 kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - as bootserver to boot other TRK clients kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 trkbootnet initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - running from RAM (best >= 512mb, 256mb min) kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 trkinmem initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - with bigger screenfont kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 normalfont initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - in simple VGA mode (debugging of kernel output) kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=1 pci=conf1 splash=off initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - with Belgian keyboard (see docs for other) kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 keyb_be initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - Virusscan all drives (non interactive) kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 virusscan initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - Try more pcmcia and usb nics (when not detected) kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 pcmcia initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - Try more SCSI drivers (when disks not detected) kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 scsidrv initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - with a secure shell server enabled kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 sshd initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - Execute local scripts on harddrive of PC kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 locscr initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - Fileshare all drives, secured with user kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 smbsec initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - Fileshare all drives as guest, no security kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 smbguest initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - Single user mode kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 runlevel 1 initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - Acpi=off, noapic PCI=bios (Alternate boot 1) kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose acpi=off noapic pci=bios initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - Acpi=off, noapic PCI=any (Alternate boot 2) kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose acpi=off noapic initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - PCI=conf2 (Alternate boot 3) kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf2 initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - Verbose startup for debugging after initial bootfase kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 debugging initrd /initrd.trk timeout 100 title TRK 3.3 - SSH server and run from RAM kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 sshd trkinmem initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - SSH server, run from RAM, act as a secure fileserver kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 sshd trkinmem smbsec initrd /initrd.trk title TRK 3.3 - with proxyserver support enabled kernel /kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 proxy initrd /initrd.trk title Memory tester: Memtest86+ v1.65 kernel memtest.x86 Edit/Note When using updatetrk it copies everything from the root of where TRK was booted and rebuilds which is going to thrash your usb stick and probably not work after it does... that is if you have other files like BT4 etc on it... to get around this at least for now you can trk2usb it on another usb update that one then copy the files over to the Multipass Trinity is working from it's own directories 1. create the trinity USB as shown in the show from the CD using the command line 2. copy all of the files on the trinity usb to /boot/trinity/ on your multipass usb drive - except /trk3 dir 3. copy the /trk3 directory from the trinity usb to root of the multipass usb When it boots it will ask you to identify where your USB is located (usually /sdb1) title Trinity Rescue Kit kernel /boot/trinity/kernel.trk initrd=/boot/trinity/initrd.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose initrd /boot/trinity/initrd.trk This isn't perfect because you still have to tell it where the usb drive is but it keeps the root directory clean. Cheater's Trinity How To: I'm being lazy and this is how i got trinity to work for me. 1) make a fat16 partition 128MB or larger behind the original one with the lable TRK_3-3. 2) boot into trk from cd and run trk2usb -n -d /dev/sdxY Where x= letter of thumb drive and Y= the number of partition if it's the second one then Y=1 3) edit your menu.lst to have the following(adjust to fit your partition table) title Trinity Rescue Kit map (hd0,1)+1 (fd0) map --hook rootnoverify (fd0) chainloader +1 thanks to romiz for how to chainload syslinux/isolinux from grub4dos http://knowhowbyromiz.blogspot.com/2008/09...x-and-back.html I haven't tried this yet but found this in the Trinity Documentation Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingo Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thanks, mate! I was hoping for something like Hobbyhack's method, but by the love of God I coudn't get it to work, Reliom's method in other hand worked pefectly fine and also he did nice work with the submenu sadly now I have to keep TRK files in root of my USB -stick, but that shoudn't be all that big of a deal. Again thank you for your effrots *bow* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskhak5 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hey! Just thought I'd share how to get Trinity Rescue Kit working by booting the ISO from Grub4dos. title Trinity Rescue Kit - ISO map --mem (hd0,0)/trinity-rescue-kit.3.3-build-334.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) boot On boot, it asks you where TRK is, and I reply sda1 since I am booting off USB. Might be different. I'm not sure if you need to unpack the /trk folder from the ISO in order for it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugene Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Old thread but I found out that the USB drive will only work on USB1 port. USB2 and USB3 ports would fail with the error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
