Hi there!

It's always exiting when a new version comes out. And this one is just wonderful. But allthesame I think I have found a small problem. I usually use dsl-embedded which a boot with a cd due to an old, nonupgradable, bios. When I try to mount the virtual hd in qemu, recognized as hdb, I get the message: "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, or too many mounted file systems". I have used the same method for a while without problems but today since I installed the 1.1 version it occurs. I store a couple of uci-files there to mount at need. And it was very practical just to have to mount /mnt/hdb to access them. There is a way around though. Mounting sda1 and then mounting the virtual hd like this: #mount /dev/sda1/qemu/harddisk /mnt/test -o loop but it is kind of tedious. I guess it's not supposed to be that way. I have tried lots of times both with remastered and unremastered versions of dsl-embedded 1.1. I just thought I should mention it. I have used DSL for over a year and I think it's the best linux distro of them all. And I have tried perhaps around 60 different distros and various versions of the most popular. So keep up the development of this marvellous distro.

Have fun,
With kind regards meo

I have also notice this same thing. I also tried to use the menu>system>backup/restore. This only hung and never did a backup. It did not seem like there was access to the backup drive. I also did not see the backup file in hdb. This was using a usb boot from pen drive. I probably screwed something up, but just thought I would put this out in the open.

Just arrived home from the library with my DSL d'loads.Fired up K3B on my FC3 box and burned the .iso to a mini-CDR.

Popped the disc into my DVD drive and rebooted and , voila! The little penguin rears his happy face again.I use a recently acquired Best Data external serial modem model 56SX-92 for my dial-up connection.

Using Firefox to browse and access this site to post this.Will be checking out the "embedded and hdd" install soon.

I just finished downloading, so haven't tried it yet, but I LOVE the new boot options.  Thank you!
