Gh0st Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 First I downloaded unetbootin and SUMO linux from here. I then used unetbootin to install the sumo ISO on my flash disk but when I boot, it only gives one option of "default" at the boot loader instead of the sumo splash screen. How do I change it back to the SUMO boot loader? I spent a few hours trying to get it to work by editing syslinux.cfg and I was able to load backtrack3 fine but samurai, dvl, and helix2 fail to boot. dvl fails and gives a kernel panic saying "No file system could mount root" my guess was that the ramdisk wasn't mounting but I was not able to find the reason for it because the grub commands look ok. I looked at the config files in /boot/grub and tried to put the main parts into my custom syslinux.cfg but no mater how many times I changed the commands I always get the kernel panic. custom syslinux.cfg default vesamenu.c32 prompt 0 menu title UNetbootin timeout 1000 #Unused label unetbootindefault menu label Default kernel /ubnkern append initrd=/ubninit #This one works label cubez MENU LABEL BT3 Graphics mode (Compiz) - Experimental KERNEL /boot/bt3/vmlinuz APPEND vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/bt3/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw chexpand=256 load=cubez autoexec=xconf;cubez;startx #This one works LABEL cubez MENU LABEL BT3 Graphics mode (Compiz Nvidia) - Experimental KERNEL /boot/bt3/vmlinuz APPEND vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/bt3/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw chexpand=256 load=cubez,nvidiadriver autoexec=xconf;startnvidia.sh;startx #This one works LABEL memtest86 MENU LABEL Run Memtest utility KERNEL /boot/mt86p #This one works LABEL dban MENU LABEL dban KERNEL /boot/bootdisk/dban.img #Kernel panic unable to mount file system. label dvl menu label dvl kernel /boot/dvl/vmlinuz append vga=769 max_loop=255 init=linuxrc load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=4444 root=/dev/ram0 rw initrd /boot/dvl/initrd.gz #Added it but have no Idea how to use it.

rlocone Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I too was playing around with it. I've done this many times. However, this time it didn't work out. Once I booted up the USB drive it gave me a partition error. I know that I partitioned & formated it correctly. Quote
osi Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 This site should help you out. http://blog.marcusjcarey.com/2008/12/sumo-...thumbdrive.html Per these directions I have a working image of SUMO on a 4gb cruzer. Quote
