Hardware :: Mount The USB Pendrive While Installing Operating System From The Same?
Apr 20, 2009
I am using a custom operating distribution that has all the necessary modules to support USB during installation.
The operating system boots up from a usb device, but I want to check the media.
I have tried
Code:
with no sucess. I have also tried
Code:
When I try to mount the media I get an error along the lines of no such device.
Am I doing anything wrong.should I use /dev/sda insted of /dev/sda1.

Will a Linux operating system lose data during a power failure as does a Windows operating system?
(If yes.) This has not come up before but I'm going to be doing some work I don't want to lose.
Could you either point me to a backup tutorial or give me the quick overview of preserving stuff with Ubuntu?

I wished to know if I can install windows 7 on my system when I am already running Linux Mint 10(as the only operating system on my machine). That configuration is called a dual boot. If you install Win7 first (or it is already present), THEN install linux, you will find that grub notices both and you will not need to mess with the MBR. The better solution is to load mint, add VirtualBox, and install Win7 into a virtual machine. Then you get to run Linux and Windows AT THE SAME TIME!

I have an IBM Thinkpad T42 with winxp on it which shows the error "operating system not found". The BIOS can recognize the HDD. I tries to installed ubuntu on it using a bootable flash disk. But, it didn't succeed.
Is there any way I can fix this?

I can login into my linux only as normal user "abc". my slax is giving HAL error in automounting pendrive.
To mount a pendrive i have to login as root in a terminal with SU command and then i can access the pendrive through command line. i normally copies my files into "abc" home directory and browses it from there in konquorer file browser......this is tedious job...everytime.
My idea is to have an icon on "abc" desktop ...which onclick will execute a shell script and manually mount my pendrive in READ WRITE mode at background and display the pendrive folder contents.... using KDE Scripting.

I did this with :
Code:
I made two partitions as below
Code:
3. Partition Compact Flash
Make two partitions on CF (use linux fdisk or anything else that is able to make linux filesystem)
1. at least 8MB FAT
2. rest ext2 (recommended) or ext3 - at least 50MB
Copy vmlinuz, initrd, linexec and params.txt to FAT partition.
Uncompress rootfs.tar.bz2 to ext2 partition. (command details at ref. [1])
But :
fdisk -l says only one /dev/sdd1
not sdd1a
not sdd1a
How can I mount those 2 created partitions, since they are hidden under /dev/sdd1 ?
Is it a bug of the kernel?

I need to use a pendrive with the Slackware 13.0 and I've tried a lot of things I've found at the internet but unfortunately they didn't work. It's not possible to use graphical interface because some reasons. So the problem need to be solved by command line.
When I use "lsusb" command, I can see the pendrive.
However, when I try these:
I got the following message: "Module usb-ohci not found" and "Module usbcore not found"
How can I deal with these problem? Because I guess without these module loaded it's not possible to mount the pendrive. Is it right?

Note: I am doing such setup for the first time so I don't know if there is a problem with given opensuse version or problem with what I am doing. System: openSUSE 11.4 RC1
Desired setup: entire system except /boot partition on hard disk, /boot partition on USB (pendrive). Aim -- making impossible to boot from hard disk, forcing boot from the USB (please, don't question my aim, I am just trivializing the issue here to shorten the description).
Setup: I set /home and / partitions on hard disk (/sda), /boot partition on USB (/sdb), I selected the options to Boot From Boot Partition as well as Boot From Master Boot Record. Finally I selected Boot Loader Options and selected Set active flag in Partition Table for Boot Partition. I installed the system.
What works:
a) without pendrive inserted I cannot start the system
b) with pendrive inserted GRUB menu shows up and system is ready to boot
The problem: after initial starting, there is long pause, and system switches to text mode with error:
Code:
drive "/dev/disk/by-id/id_of_my_pendrive" is not found Since the console worked, I logged in, and yes, actually there was not such disk found. But the disk (pendrive) was there -- the initial booting took place not from void, but from it. So why it is not present? Out of curiosity, I pulled it out, and plugged it in back, now it was visible in "dev/disk/. Question: what should I change/tweak for correct booting the system from pendrive? Or is a bug in 11.4 installer? I would like to setup everything as it should be done -- I mean within installer.
What I found so far: Booting encrypted system from USB stick - Gentoo Linux Wiki it is similar problem to mine, but only similar. I have other symptoms.

I got a new laptop today and the first thing I did was to install Ubuntu as a dual boot with Windows 7. Everything seemed to work the first time I loaded Ubuntu after installation, and Windows also seemed to work. Then, Windows Maintenance said there was possible disk corruption, so I restarted the computer and now I get this error when trying to load. After reading around about similar problems I think it might be a problem with the grub bootloader. It is 64-bit if that makes a difference.

Ok, I have a Gateway Solo 5300 and I want to use it as a test server (install Ubuntu Server 10.10 and everything else after that.) The problem is I shut down the computer after it deleted the hard drive clean through installation and now I have to network boot because its old. What do I need to do that?

The issue I've been having is vague so I'm unsure if anyone can help me but it's worth a shot. The other day I was booting my laptop and this is what ended up happening and has continued to occur on successive boots:[URL] Each time it boots this is how the screen is characterized. For example: [URL] After this, continuing the boot process, the screen does this--which makes sense since the Kubuntu boot screen is this color and this where it should typically appear (I installed Kubuntu some months prior to this issue.): [URL]
After this screen, the monitor goes blank and becomes unresponsive. It usually flashes to black and then appears to turn on--becoming a slightly lighter shade of black.
Then, nothing. I can't go into tty. I've tried booting with a live CD but the issue persists and hangs, saying: soft lockup cpu 0 stuck for 61s. I've tried taking my laptop apart but I'm not familiar enough with hardware to do anything productive.

Is there any 32 bit operating system emulator (like a bridge) that I could easily use those packages or software that can be installed on a 32 bit operating system easier? Something easier than emulating another Ubuntu using Virtualbox.

Assume I have a computer on which I want to use ubuntu for a while (single boot). Assume also that in about six months I want to give this computer to Mr. X, but I do not want Mr. X to know that I have been using ubuntu. I don't want to install anything over top of ubuntu, I just want the computer to be completely (or as nearly completely as possible) blank so that Mr. X cannot infer what I've been doing on it. The trick here is that I can't use operating system x_{1} to delete operating system x_{0}. I don't want Mr. X to know anything about which OS I have been using. Mr. X, by the way, is a sophisticated computer user but not particularly interested in tracking me down. Once he sees that the computer is blank Mr. X will just install his own operating system and everybody will be happy.

why the operating system is not using swap.I am using Fedora Core 13, it did have 4GB of ram, all of the ram was used. performance was poor. I used free and top to check if it was swapping - according to both, swap was NOT used at all. Never the less, I upgraded to 8GB and performance improved a lot.However, once again, free and top state that ALL the ram is utilised, yet NONE of the swap is utilised.
