changes lost, cant fix

[Direwolf]

After upgrading from BT3b to Final, I seem to have lost my changes. I have done the same thing I did to get them on the beta and its not wanting to work. I have the boot and BT3 folder on a FAT32 and the changes on an EXT2.

changes=/dev/media:/sdc2/changes

this is correct right?

sry Imma newb to linux (i know this is not the best option for my first linux experience but I'm learning really fast)

Where did you do the changes=/dev/media:/sdc2/changes part at ?
It should by in the syslinux.cfg .

[Direwolf]

indeed i did...wait...should there be a "/" at the end?

Mine just reads:

changes=/dev/sda2

[Direwolf]

as does mine...strange I wonder why its not working...

LABEL xconf1
MENU LABEL BT3 Graphics mode (KDE)
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw autoexec=xconf;kdm changes=/dev/media:/sdc2

its also not allowing me to use any basic forum functions I have to type it manually e.g. code tags

Edit: wait... change this?

root=/dev/ram0

No, your's reads: "changes=/dev/media:/sdc2"

Did you create the changes directory on /dev/sda2?

We know, and its ok we won't too loud. :D
But it is nice to see that you got it worked out
so what did you do?

[Direwolf]

well in windows you ALWAYS input the full path when pointing a file to another location

i just removed the "media:" bit

To quote the MythBusters: "Well, there's your problem!"

Glad to hear you got it sorted.
