Oh, ok, thanks, much appreciated. It did help me out and save some agony.

djemos - Thanks, your solution did work, however i didn't like that approach since i've 5 other distros besides slackware and having to copy each one of their kernel and initrd would've been quite cumbersome and also i've to remember having to copy them every time i've a kernel upgrade in any of ...

During initial install, i did use lilosetup, except didn't use edit configurations. It installed but listed only 1 distro. When i tried the same again today but after doing edit configurations, it listed all the distros. However it booted just salix, remaining ones just got frozen in their ...

I was looking for lilo.conf based on google search for lilo, having said that i checked for lilosetup.conf and i still don't see it in my installed system, though i remember having seen it in live mode.

After i installed and not able to login, i tried again with live cd and tried just lilo setup ...

I installed kde 13.37 from live iso, everything went fine until it came to bootloader setup. It gave me the list of other linux distros in my machine which i edited and gave label to each, however on reboot it showed only 1 distro and surprisingly that was not even Salix. So i can't boot into any of ...

Hi,

Here's the output -

echo "$UID"
1000

mount | grep "on /media/EEB5-A435" | cut -d' ' -f1 | head -n 1
/dev/sdc1

Followed the instructions as given in the start up guide - basically extracted all files/folders from iso to USB. Went into boot dir and tried the first command and got this -

./bootinst.sh
WARNING: grub2 is available on this running system.
You should preferably run /install-on-USB script instead ...

ok, i didn't RTFM ;). Following the user guide now, thanks.

The password is unrelated to either unetbootin or BIOS as i've been using the same USB for other distros and never had any issue so far, i experienced this first time with Salix. Maybe it could be due to the fact that i didn't create the ...

Right after the computer is rebooted and it gives the initial boot screen and when i press enter, it goes blank and when i press enter again that's when the password box comes. Checked md5 sum as well and it tallied with what's in the web page. Strangely it was the same behavior every time. I burnt ...

HI,

I'm unable to boot into Salix from USB, On bootup it asks for a password, tried all combinations - blank, live, root but none of them worked. I have been booting from USB with other distros for a long time w/o any issues, so not sure why it doesn't work with Salix.

Can someone help or is it ...
