booting from USB stick

Zitat von "ryecoaaron"

I suppose you also boot systemrescuecd and dd the usb stick image to the hard drive if clonezilla keeps giving you the errors.

I have dd and systemrescued (and even supergrubed and boot-repaired) without any luck or satisfying final result.

@ 2 in the morning, I've decided to make an OMV fresh install, and everything is up and running now.
Datas seem to be in place, the raid array is declared "clean" , grub has accepted to run on /dev/sde.

The only drawback : I've lost all my shared folder user accounts and so on... (I used the wrong ressource to backup my config.xml... the only big mistake during this late nite rescue op). I've some system dogfooding to do.

Thank you for your support. I've learned more in one day than during the whole last month :- ))

Hi

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely follow it

I have some vm's and "live" apps running with *nux (backtrack, some DSM keys, one or two Ubuntu) but most of them are used as blackboxes. My "bench machine" hosting most of these VM's is a Microsoft HyperV bare hypervisor

I began to play with these kernels some years ago too. Circa 1980-90. SCO 2.3.2, and minix with the KA9Q TCP/IP -the very first GOOD reason to avoid using it again :- ). The best way to quickly shutdown the system was simply to look at it :-/

That's the reason why I only have vague memories and habits using tty, but I know enough to know that I know nothing. A Gentoo without any X11 layer will certainly be a good starter.

Thank you again for the time you spent and these little seeds of knowledge you sow
