[Devil-Linux-discuss] 1.2.8: DL_device.... and install-on-usb

[Frank W. <Fra...@ct...>]

Hi all,

I am toying with 1.2.8, and I noticed a couple of things:

devil linux 1.2.8 seems to ignore those bootflags:=20
#  DL_device=3D/dev/discs/disc0/part1     - Loads CD/ISO from that device
#  DL_device_no_scan                    - Prevents scannign for CD/ISO

I don't know if there is still a use for them. I tried to simulate a remote=

upgrade (my DL is on CF cards) and they'd have been handy for booting from=

the second partition, but it is not really vital for me....

install-on-usb also fails on me:=20

it cannot execute grub, failing with: cannot execute binary file.
Even if I copy the binary to my local filesystem, it can't be executed.
The grub in the iso is recognized as 'data' by the 'file' command, and its=
=20
size is about half the size of the (stripped) grub binary on my host system.

When I modify the script to use my 'local' grub, there is no error.


Have a nice week-end!
