A USB 2.0 drive so prepared will boot in either kind of slot. I don't believe that this drive will boot in either a USB 2.0 or a USB 3.0 slot! I predict booting will fail with "Porteus data not found". Install Porteus to that second partition, installing the boot loader to it. Take a USB 3.0 flash drive and format it with a Windows-type partition and an ext4 partition for Porteus.Ģ. Try to wrap your head around the possibility, however remote, that I am correct it sure isn't too hard to replicate the problem if it exists!ġ. You are a great believer in waiting - for devices to become ready, for RAM to lose its contents (as if that could have anything to do with a subsequent boot). The people who might address the issue meaningfully have not responded. I would say the issue's been stabbed to death already - I am trying to point out a significant flaw affecting the deployment of Porteus on USB 3.0 flash drives in general you are determined to make this out my problem. After you shut Windows down, turn the pc off for a second or two. I am hoping for some quick and obvious fix (as opposed to an extended process of gathering error data, analysis, and contemplation - which I can't do anyway). Any idea how to reset the guest account? I horked it by trying to activate a module of my saved root session (after which the guest account would no longer boot to the desktop. I have not tried this on very many computers, but I believe that I am describing a universal and not insignificant problem with Porteus - I need expert consideration of this, as opposed to help with a personal problem in using Porteus!

Code: Select all APPEND initrd=initrd.xz changes=EXIT:UUID:17C8-CC62/changes/porteussave.dat extramod=UUID:17C8-CC62/ModulesĮvery time that I boot Porteus, I have shut Windows down first rebooting is not a solution! As for UUIDs, I now use them consistently in my "from=" and "changes=" cheatcodes (as I noted in my first post on this subject, to which I linked in my first post above please read it).
