    BT4 Final on USB Multipass

    in USB Multipass

    Posted

    Hey thanks Rain! Your title code made it work. I think this is the one I was using:

    title BackTrack 4 FINAL
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bootbt4/vmlinuz vga=0x317 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet
initrd=/bootbt4/initrd.gz
boot

    No problem. In cause your interested in why what you had was not working, you did not supply the "boot" option for the kernel, so it did not know what to boot from (casper in this case).

    I just gave it a shot and it worked perfectly fine with the same menu.lst entry I used for the Pre-Final. Here is what I am using:

    title BackTrack 4
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bootbt4/vmlinuz boot=casper ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet
initrd=/bootbt4/initrd.gz
boot

    Note: Extract the ISO to the root of your USB device, then rename the "boot" folder to "bootbt4" (no quotes).

    Can't get webif installed

    I'm running 8.09. I might have figured out the problem. I have been doing all of this under windows, and I think XP might be messing with the files because I just sent over the nano package from my linux box, and opkg loaded it up and installed it. I am going to reflash, just to start completely fresh, and do the downloading and SCPing from my linux box and see if it makes a difference. I'll let you know what happens. (Thanks for the help, by the way)

    Hey guys,

    My La Fonera 2100 that I ordered ebay just came in the mail. I powered it up, logged into the web interface, and found that it was running 7.0 r4, so I didn't need to use the serial cable I had already made (Yay!). I Enabled SSH, patched the files that needed patching and flashed it with the Jasager 1.0 firmware. When it finished flashing and rebooting, I telnet'ed in, set a root password, started ssh, and SCP'ed haserl, webif, and the xwrt webif theme. Everything was going fine up until this point. Obviously I needed to install haserl, webif, and the webif theme, so I started by typing this:

    opkg install haserl_0.9.24-1_mips.ipk

    and hit enter. This returned the following error:

    opkg: invalid magic

    I did some research and found that "invalid magic" means corrupt .ipk, although this cannot be the case. I have have downloaded this file directly from the openwrt website and from the x-wrt website. I am using the correct version (8.09/atheros). Anyone know how to fix this?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.,

    So casper-rw also has to be contiguous?
    The contiguous part was a guess :P

    Well I ran contig, and it defragged the file from 51 frags to 1, and it worked. It doesn't work on my school computers though, I'll see what I can do here.
    Does Ubuntu even correctly boot on your "school" computers without persistent mode enabled?

    If there is anything wrong with the casper-rw file, Ubuntu will not boot. Verify that you did create the casper-rw file correctly and not fragmented. (When I made mine, I forgot to format it and the exact same thing happened to me).

    Here's my grub entry for dsl:

    # ---   DSL Damn Small Linux   ---
title Damn Small Linux
kernel /dsl/linux24 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=789 initrd=minirt24.gz nomce noapic quiet BOOT_IMAGE=dsl
initrd /dsl/minirt24.gz
boot
# ---   ---   ---   ---

    The USB drive has a folder called DSL which contains just two files linux24 and minirt24.gz which were taken from the iso.

    Hmmm, I must have just typed somthing in wrong because that was exactly what I had apart from the folder name, but it works now. :)

    Thanks a lot!

    I currently have these entries on my key:

    • ...
    • Damn Small Linux
    • ...

    Hey, would you mind telling me how you got Damn Small Linux working? I think I'm just missing something small, but if you could tell me the lines your have in your menu.lst, that would be great!

    Thanks in advance,

    Rain
