Hurtcake Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 So i though I'd make a tread for helping everyone else get up to speed in the other multiboot tread, by getting all the different distores with their parameters together in one post. Im watching both treads, and put new examples in here. If there's any other distores you think i forgot, please post the code and the download location :) Follow Darrens guide to make usb bootable with grub here Note you may have to edit some of the codes, with the path of your choice. Windows versions - Download the iso, and place it on the root of your usbkey. title Windows 7 map (hd0,0)/win7.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) Download location Backtrack 3 – Download iso and extract the two folders to the root of your usbkey.

Zero_Himself Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 For Trinity Rescue Kit, it is no longer necessary to rename the volume label. At the end of the kernel line in menu.lst add "vollabel=yourUsbLabel" title Trinity Rescue Kit 3.3 (default) kernel kernel.trk ramdisk_size=49152 root=/dev/ram0 vga=788 splash=verbose pci=conf1 vollabel=MULTIBOOT initrd initrd.trk ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitesurfer Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 hey backtrack4 and 3 don't work on my usb this what i have in the menu.lst title BackTrack 3 root (hd0,0) kernel /bootbt3/vmlinuz vga=0x317 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet initrd=/bootbt3/initrd.gz boot title BackTrack 4 BETA root (hd0,0) kernel /bootbt4/vmlinuz vga=0x317 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet initrd=/bootbt4/initrd.gz boot it says it cant find livecd.sgn but it is in both of the folders The trick with BT4 is to move the bt4/casper folder onto the root of the usb stick. Apparently /casper contains the compressed image of the disk. Once I did this the above config worked great. This is also why some people are complaining two different distros that both use casper cannot co-exist. There can be only one /casper folder on your stick so only 1 casper distro can be used at one time. BT3 does not use the /casper folder so you just need to have a /bootbt3 and a /BT3 folder in your root. I am taking a different approach and structuring all my distros in the form /distro/boot so the root of my drive is cleaner. In this way I have the following folders for Backtrack 3 & 4 on my stick. /BT4/boot /BT3/boot /casper Of course this requires modifying your menu.lst to the updated folder locations. Hope this helps. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherMe Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I get the following error when booting BackTrack4: Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot agrs (cat /proc/cmdline) -Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) -Check root= (did the system wait for the right device? -Missing modules (cat /proc/modles; ls /dev Alert /dev/ram0 does not exist. Dropping to shell! Any ideas, Im a widows guy and don't know much about linux. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnt Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Ophcrack – Download and extract contens to your key. Ophcrack comes in two versions, one with xp-tables and one with vista-tables. If you download both, rename one of the bootfolders to «bootoph»(you only need one of them), and keep both the tables. title Ophcrack kernel /bootoph/bzImage rw root=/dev/null vga=normal lang=C kmap=us screen=1024x768x16 autologin initrd /bootoph/rootfs.gz Download location This is a great thread. Any updates as to what can be added? The only difference between the Ophcrack XP and Vista editions is the tables loaded inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
