Tried to replace the 1.8 files with the new 1.9 files and now parted magic won't boot. Just get a black screen. I did it this way when going from 1.7 to 1.8.

Anyone else have any success?

Think I got it. Removed the vga=791 and added skip at the end of the line when making the grub menu. Seems to boot up fine now.

Got closer but not much further. I get to the part where its scanning the SCSI devices then it goes to a blue screen and says my device isn't supported and just dies.

Yet if I take the 1.9 iso and boot it up in virtualbox it boots up fine.

Anyone else getting any luck with the new Parted Magic?

We all await for its arrival. Also take a look here at updated Mcafee/Avast scripts with update option:

Here is updated MapNetworkDrive tool. It will now wait for wpeinit to finish (if its still running) and also lists all available drives.

As there is no updated Grub4Dos script on http://www.vistape.net/project/, could anyone post the right start parameters for grub and parted magic 1.9 ?

I tried but did not succeed:

If,ExistFile,"%targetdir%\boot\plinux\kernel.pml",TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","title Parted Magic Linux 1.9","Append"
If,ExistFile,"%targetdir%\boot\plinux\kernel.pml",TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","kernel /boot/plinux/kernel.pml noapic root=/dev/ram0 init=pmagic.fs ramdisk_size=100000","Append"
If,ExistFile,"%targetdir%\boot\plinux\kernel.pml",TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","initrd /boot/plinux/initrd.pml","Append"
If,ExistFile,"%targetdir%\boot\plinux\kernel.pml",TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%"," ","Append"

thx

Make sure the files are in its proper case. Meaning even if 1 letter of the file name is in a case other than what the menu is calling for it will not find the file (if its in all lower case in the menu then the files need to be in lowercase as well).

Lower or upper case is not the problem. The boot parameters passed on to grub4dos are not right. Can you post your parted magic section of grub4dos ?

If,ExistFile,"%targetdir%\boot\plinux\kernel.pml",TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","kernel /boot/plinux/kernel.pml noapic root=/dev/ram0 squashfs=/boot/plinux/pmagic.fs init=/linuxrc ramdisk_size=100000 skip","Append"
If,ExistFile,"%targetdir%\boot\plinux\kernel.pml",TXTAddLine,"%MenuFile%","initrd /boot/plinux/initrd.pml","Append"

Try that.

Cheers mate that worked fine now.

@Nightman

Hate to revive an old thread but Parted Magic 2.0 is out and wondering do you need to rebuild it like you did with 1.9?
