If I type xinit it says /bin/sh: xinit: not found I am the author of easy2boot which is a USB multiboot tool to allow people to boot from 100's of different ISOs (or images) all from one USB stick. I have been asked by a user to get proxmox 4 working. 3.2 works because I can run the unconfigured.sh from the command line
http://rmprepusb.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/add-proxmox-isos-to-easy2boot.html http://www.easy2boot.com I tried setting proxdebug and root=/dev/sdb1 or lvm2root=/dev/sdb1 to get it to mount the FAT32 partition to /mnt. I do not need to manually use any mount commands, it just automatically runs init but this causes an early error message of mount: mounting /dev/sdb1 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument but if I use the mount command I can see that /mnt is present as a vfat /dev/sdb1 If I press CTRL+D to continue, it fails in the exact same place with Installation aborted - unable to continue. Note that this is not using my script at all, just the original init script - I have not broken into the boot process because it picks up the lvm2root parameter. I am so *near*, yet I just cannot get the unconfigured.sh script to run in this way... thanks for your help.
