Thanks for the update.

Will ATI and other cards work "out-of-the box" with compiz under the USB version of BT3 final?

Broadcom cards inject well now

I'm amazed, I thought these things couldn't inject?,
Great news.

They did actually work quite nicely using BT3b as well, glad to see that the minor errors are fixed now though.

has an sdhc card real install been attempted? (eeepc)

please re-read my question, then read his post, i am asking something completely different. I know its easy to confuse with so many people calling a live usb install a real install on the sdhc... so ill explain..

I would like to know if a real install has been done on an sdhc Card. Not a live install with changes.

BT3b wouldn't boot with a "real" install on an sdhc card always had a kernal panic, someone suggested a fix (i believe adding a 10 sec delay on the boot process) and claimed it worked however myself and others have not been able to get it to boot. Muts said he was working on it i would like to know if its implemented in the new bt3 release..

Woot!! Got it running on my eee now! Compiz is a bit flakey, the menu items boarder is huuuuge! Regular kde looks right though. Installed the usb version to my 4Gb sdhc card. Same as the old way, copy the boot and BT3 folders over and run the bootinst.sh script.

This would be the post that archangel.amael was refering to and it clearly states that BT3 was succesfully installed to the sdhc card.

thats exactly what im not asking. never mind ill wait till i see muts in the irc channel

Ok, I get your point now, however with so little HD space I'd think you would like to save all the space you can.

Fload once you figure it out or get the info can you please post to this thread. I would also like to do a real install of BT3 final on an SDHC card for my EEEPC. I had the same kernel panic with BT3 beta on an SDHC so I've just been running it live for now. Notice the power off actually works without patching now though :)

[crweedon]

yes an SDHC real install would be nice to have... sans the kernel panic, butfor BT3b, i just did the full install to the ssd, the did (i believe it was purehates') slapt-get fix, updated/upgraded all the packages and the issued a "slapt-get --clean --remove-obsolete" command, still a decent amount of space on the ssd after updating fastrack, autoscan, etc... space wasn't exactly a big problem, you can see what i mean by "df"ing before the updates and again after. hope this helps someone

yea my last install i just moved half of the root directory to the sdhc but still booting off ssd, however i now have winxp on it and would like to have both available.. Ill mess with it monday or tuesday and see if its possible now..

I got the install to a SDHC working.

Basically you do the exact same thing as installing to the internal harddrive, except you change every reference to the SDHC (was /dev/sda1 on mine, yours might be different) instead of pointing to the internal drive.

To fix the Kernel Panic, you make lilo.conf as follows


lba32
boot=/dev/sda
prompt
timeout=60
change-rules
reset
compact

image=/boot/vmlinuz
root=/dev/sda1
label=Backtrack3
append="rootdelay=10"

Few changes to the original tutorial, the obvious ones pointing to /dev/sda instead of to the internal hard-drive being the most important one.

The last line (append=...) makes sure you give the kernel time to properly recognize the card in the slot. The 'compact' line fixes the otherwise extreme slow loading.

Worked for me. I didnt add a vga= line, since I prefer to boot in 80x25 but thats entirely up to yourselves. vga=773 might not work, due to your Asus Eee not supporting 1024x768 afaik.
