 Posted: Fri Aug 02, 2013 4:22 pm Post subject: SMS on a YUMI usb flash drive? |
 |
|
I've been trying for the past several days to get SMS Live CD to be apart of my YUMI usb drive, so it can be apart of my arsenal of live boot up discs from a single flash drive.
I keep receiving an error that SMS cannot start when I try this.
Anyone have any suggestions? |

Although I never used YUMI, it must be using syslinux, so can you post your syslinux.cfg?

Sure, I tried to use just the ISO.
Here is my syslinux.cfg and menu.lst.
syslinux.cfg

I select the first option. (Directly Bootable ISOs)
which then launches this lst.

I can only imagine I need to extract the contents of the ISO as some distros seems to need that, but I'm not sure how to set the boot options.
Please let me know if I need to post any of the other cfg files |

In menu.lst try adding "root (hd32)" and you can try to add iso at root of USB...
| Code: | # Modify the following entry if it does not boot
title Boot SMS.Live.CD-2.0.5.iso
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /multiboot/ISOS/SMS.Live.CD-2.0.5.iso
map --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 /multiboot/ISOS/SMS.Live.CD-2.0.5.iso (hd32)
map --hook
root (hd32)
chainloader (hd32) |
For syslinux extra content either at top directory or in a subdirectory like smslive and point at it
| Code: | LABEL smslive
MENU LABEL SMS - Superb! Mini Server LiveCD 32bit
KERNEL vesamenu.c32
APPEND APPEND /boot/smslive/boot/isolinux.cfg |
and edit /boot/smslive/boot/sms.cfg
| Code: | LABEL sms
MENU LABEL Run SMS
KERNEL /boot/smslive/boot/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=791 initrd=/boot/smslive/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=8888 root=/dev/ram0 rw from=/boot/smslive/ |

Tried this. Still get an error.
Errors at "looking for 'sms' data directory"
Then after the boot process can't find it kicks back an fatal error.

Tried this ^^ as well, but I must have mistyped something. All it does is brings up a boot: prompt.
shouldn't "/boot/smslive/" be "/multiboot/smslive/" ?
Also, for the syslinux, should there be a double APPEND? |

For grub try...
| Code: | # Modify the following entry if it does not boot
title Boot SMS.Live.CD-2.0.5.iso
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /multiboot/ISOS/SMS.Live.CD-2.0.5.iso
map /multiboot/ISOS/SMS.Live.CD-2.0.5.iso (hd32) || map --mem /multiboot/ISOS/SMS.Live.CD-2.0.5.iso (hd32)
map --hook
root (hd32)
kernel /multiboot/ISOS/SMS.Live.CD-2.0.5.iso ramdisk_size=8888 root=/dev/ram0 rw
initrd /boot/initrd.gz |
For syslinux you can edit paths /boot/smslive was an example, actually is what I'm using in SMS-AIO_DVD...

Thank you. Ill try the grub option ASAP.
For the syslinux, so I can understand more about it and be more self sufficient, is there any reference material you can recommend?
I tried adjusting the paths like you mention, but obviously I'm missing something.
Would you mind looking at my updated cfg files when I post them later? |
