Thanks for all your testing golfer7!
I made it on a PC with 2 drives, so I'm not sure about the kernel panic on your one pc...?

anyway, glad you got it working!

When I took a closer look at my kernel panic error message I saw that the kernel or nFlux could only "find" my partitions on /dev/sda. I e sda1, sda3, sda5, sda6, sda7, sda9, sda11 etc...

Everything was ok when I installed nFlux Slackware 13.1 on a partition on /dev/sda.

Now I hope to be able to use nflux-installer also in my remasters of Slackware 13.1 and possibly in upcoming Slackware 14.0.

Thanks again!

Please see post #27...

Making progress; I have finished making a Kit for both Slackware
i686 and x86_64 that will transform your installed system into a live cd/dvd/usb thats also installable to hard drive

all the stuff below is different than in the above post

I am finishing uploading the new nFluxOS builds for arch, debian, slackware, and ubuntu.
I have also a pair of Kits for ARCH i686 and x86_64 too but have to learn how to package them!

anyway; the Kernel Live Kit below is the same kernel and live media source
I use in my new squashfs 4.0 nFluxOS arch and slackware builds
the kernel is the same as above except it's for either arch/slackware x86/x86_64 and also includes kernel modules, and full kernel source

alongside that is the modified Linux-live-scripts in /root folder
for creating the live media
inside the linux live folder in cd-root I placed a splash.png and modified isolinux/syslinux menus and some other stuff.
(Iron Maiden! cranking)
oh,...
yeah, and so the package comes as a installable .txz for 13.0/13.1/current and has a readme and instructions for installing to usb and manual hard drive install(easy)

Basically; it's almost like remastersy; you just spin the wheel
pop it in the oven and bam!
instant backup/livecd of your system
I like it compared to say Clonezilla and dd and such.

In detail the pkg comes as a zipped file named
either KernelKit-Slackware-i686-2.6.34.zip or KernelKit-Slackware-x86_64-2.6.34.zip containing

info and manual-install text from nFluxOS /usr/doc
for installation info etc

the installable .txz either
kernel-live-kit-2.6.34-i686-slackware.txz
or
Kernel-Live-2.6.34-ZENslack64-x86_64.txz

the .txz's contain:
install/doinst.sh (creates symlinks)

boot/live kernel config and system.map + symlinks

etc/rc.d/rc.modules-2.6.34-*
etc/rc.d/rc.slax
etc/rc.d/rc.M
etc/profile.d/slax.sh (runs stuff)
etc/rc.d/rc.local (optional)
etc/X11/xorg.conf (vesa)
etc/X11/gui.conf

lib/firmware
lib/modules/2.6.34 (either x86 or x86_64)

/root/linux-live-6.3.0_x86 or Linux-live-6.3.0x86_64

usr/bin/xconf (auto configure X script from Slax)
usr/src/linux-2.6.34 ( full kernel source )

Now, if you wish just do explodepkg on it and check it out
you can decompress it with

tar xvf example.txz --xz

There's a bug for both of these concerning squashfs 4.0 and Ritchie's Linux Live for x86/x86_64

The bug is that if you run persistent cd/usb; you must make a ext2/ext3 partition on usb
and save to a folder there you specify
For some reason it will not save to either Slax's "slaxsave.dat" or SalixOS' "slxsave.xfs"
and if you run from fat32 usb and put a save folder on fat32 usb it will have issues with posixovl
and will not shutdown/reboot

The "fix" is right now to either save to a named folder on ext2/ext3 usb or hdd partition

Example usb, with your live remaster on sdb1

sdb1 fat32 your remaster

sdb2 ext3 "has a folder named 'mysave'"

and then edit your syslinux.cfg or grub menu.lst, etc to say

you do not need to specify the device, simply the name of your folder you create to save stuff too.

so, make a folder on ext3 usb or hdd partition of whatever name you want and
edit syslinux.cfg changes= parameter for your folder, etc

Sorry about this and for further info on Ritchie's work for Linux Live for x86/x86_64 with squashfs 4.0 see here
http://www.slax.org/forum.php?action...parentID=59545

Remember this is a Slackware forum. Can you please keep focused and inform us about using Slackware for a live CD. If I wanted to read about Arch Linux I'd check out their forum, not Slackware's.

Eric

I don´t think you should criticize linus72. There are many similarities between Arch Linux and Slackware.

Thanks for all your work linus72! I will try your new kernel asap.

hey golfer7
it's my fault; I forgot this was in the Slackware forum
I thought I had it in General

If any Mod sees this maybe move this thread to General and I will
adjust title for both Slackware and ARCH

Please note the persistency "bug" with the new kernel stuff golfer7

I plan to release kernel kits for previous 2.6.33.3 kernel too!

hey golfer7
thanks bro but

and Alien; are you still trying to make a liveDVD of Slackware as I saw
in an interview you did?

EDIT:
ackk...I am redoing all this stuff as Ritchie is adding fixes to his
new linux live for x86/x86_64 and I may have to recompile kernels too
for aufs exports...

And; I am going to add the kernel 2.6.33.3 as a seperate kit, with squashfs 3.4, and clean everything up!

OK
Fixed the persistent and mounting issues with the Slackware
x86 and x86_64 kernel kits

Downloads are now here
http://multidistro.com/NFLUXNEW/SQ4/kkits/kkits.html

any questions, etc please post!

Hey guys I need your opinions
on should I make this kit into a SlackBuild and submit it to SlackBuilds??

Hi linus72!

I tried your new kernel 2.6.34 from around 5/7. Something was wrong with aufs/union. Mounting issue.

I will soon try your kernel-kit from 9/7.

Hey golfer7
you mean once you made a live backup it wouldn't boot?
please be specific and thanks!
