Is there a login and password for Fatdog?

Post by Anacleto »

Hello.

It is the first time that testing Fatdog.

Does it introduce Login and Password to enter FatDog?

My boot system is on the hard drive, what I usually do is download the ISO of a distribution, extracting it and created the corresponding folder.

I copy all the files and then in the "menu.lst" file I write the corresponding entry.

title Puppy Fatdog64-812 (sda1/Fatdog64-812)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /Fatdog64-812/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd psubdir=Fatdog64-812 pfix=fsck
initrd /Fatdog64-812/initrd

My surprise is that there are two "initrd" files : "initrd" and "initrd.nano"

First try with initrd and got a black screen, then try with initrd.nano and ask me for a login and password and it does not let me pass.

I have looked at forum and I have not found any login or password ... someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.?

Thanks?

Are you using grub4dos on an ext4 partition??

Fatdog sometimes has boot issues with initrd using that combination. If you wait long enough, my record is SEVEN minutes, it does boot.

initrd-nano is the solution

Put in your menu.lst,

Code: Select all

kernel /Fatdog64-812/vmlinuz mergeinitrd1=local:/fatdog/initrd
initrd /Fatdog64-812/initrd-nano
