Hello, I add to this, In some machines searching the floppy devices for a live filesystem gives an unrecoverable error,
We can solve that editing the live-initramfs package and excluding floppies from the devices that lines contains text like that (not exactly, that is my own version): echo /sys/block/* | tr ' ' '\n' | grep -ve '/ram' -ve '/loop' and we should exclude /fd devices also grep -ve '/ram' -ve '/loop' -ve '/fd' Best Regards, Jordi Pujol El Tuesday 15 January 2008 01:42:13 Santiago Andres Triana va escriure: > Hi, > > I have not been able to get a persistent file system by following any of > the methods described in the wiki. > I am using a custom kernel with compiled in unionfs and squashfs with no > floppy disk support.
