AsRock AM3+ mobo with an old BIOS.

Maybe this could work:

-The next idea is to start with an Easy 4.5.5 pendrive (used at least once so that the second partition has been enlarged).

This time we replace completely the content of ...

hello Barry. I saw you post of your issue with a new stick.

I offer this: My oldest PC is a 2007 64bit which is the 2nd year of all manufacturers upgrading, as you will remember. ALL of them boot a GPT-based USB/disk without issue. And we know the benefits. Not sure why to insist MSDOS as this ...

The string of errors was all about 'cp can't preserve ownership .... ' related to the .sfs.

You could use gnome disk utility (gnome disks) to view the SMART Data of the SSD.

And no boot

Progress. More corrections of the ventoy grub cfg file and an advance in the progress of the boot before it failed. It was working toward the Easy of the sata ssd, but it didn't work out/ find it properly.

It got to: working partition sdb1, but it wasn't finding what it wanted ...

Install EasyOS on the SSD and create a grub menu entry for it on the Ventoy stick.

I've installed 6.6.3 to an 8G USB on a legacy bios desktop and booted. Besides its usb sticks, it has a usb attached external hdd spinner just for storage, no booting, a bootable ntfs Win7 internal hdd spinner, an ext4 internal SATA SSD w/ a LM Cinnamon install with plenty of room left and an ...

For example gnome-disk-utility (available in the Daedalus repository) can create and restore disk and partition images. Maybe you could try creating a partition image of the ext4 partition on the stick and restoring it to the ssd partition and see if that works?

This time we replace completely the content of the second partition by the initial content of the second partition in the Scarthgap version (initial content = the 3 usual files vmlinuz, initrd, easy.sfs)
We do not modify the first partition

I repeat:
After creation and launch of the Easy 4.5.5 ...

I would like to report that at variance with previous releases of EasyOS (non Devuan) I am unable to start it in VirtualBox. It boots fine until X, the problem seems related to the graphic driver, as X don't start even setting vesa or modesetting drivers. I tried tweaking the graphic setting ...

Increase easy-6.0-amd64.img to for example 16 GB:
truncate -s 16g easy-6.0-amd64.img

EasyOS requires a partition with ext4 filesystem.

n00b

Have you tried this?

Firstly considering GRUB4DOS. Where it is installed, you will find a file 'menu.lst'. Insert something like this:

title EasyOS Dunfell (partition sda3 folder easyos)
find --set-root uuid () 054a04b8-0f00-11ed-aeb9-287fcfeb4376
kernel /easyos/vmlinuz rw wkg_uuid=054a04b8 ...

n00b

Boot into EFI and select BOOTX64.EFI from the EFI menu (boot from EFI file)?

n00b

Try changing sda5 write permissions to all.

n00b

Does this work

KERNEL_PATH=boot://3/easyos/vmlinuz
MODULE_PATH=boot://3/easyos/initrd

if the empty space at the beginning of your disk is considered the first partition.

The opening of a local .html file by clicking don't work. The browser opens but the html page is not displayed. Tested with firefox as defaultbrowser and with chromium (via right-click menu)

Drag the file into the browser.

Did you reformat the first partition as ext4 (for example #mke2fs -t ext4 -O ^has_journal /dev/sdb1 if the flash drive is sdb) and then copied the easyos folder and the bootx64.efi and limine.cfg files from the easy.img to the first partition as follows:
