Anyone know what this error means? I'm trying to add the Linux version of Drive backup 7 to my DVD. I'm using cdshell with bcdw. I'm no linux guru and the web hasnt helped thus far. VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 03:03 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root FS on 03:03 My cdshell.ini command looks like this and all my files are in /PGON/.. isolinux /PGON/BZIMAGE append initrd=/PGON/INITRD.GZ splash=silent quiet root=/dev/ram/0 eng_ver vga=0x314

Here is what I did for DOS... I opened the DOS.IMG file and injected mscdex.exe along with cd1.sys, cd2.sys, cd3.sys, cd4.sys into the img file. I edited the autoexec.bat as follows... AUTOEXEC.BAT @echo off echo Welcome to PTS-DOS (PARAGON Recovery CD) rem SHSUCDX /D:CD001 /D:USBCD001 rem SHSUCDX /D:USBCD001 rem SHSUCDX /D:CD001 a: cd \ mouse.com mscdex.exe /d:CDDRIVE /L:R dos_lang doslfn.com SET CDDRIVE = R if "%CDDRIVE%"=="" goto cdnfound set LETTER=R: cd \ntfs4dos if "%LANG%"=="" goto nmnt call nd.bat 8192 -lfn -mountall -cd:%CDDRIVE%:%LETTER% goto cont :nmnt call nd.bat 8192 -lfn -cd:%CDDRIVE%:%LETTER% set LANG=en :cont if "%LETTER%"=="" goto cdnfound SET PATH=a:\;%LETTER%\dos;%LETTER%\dos\dn;%LETTER%\dos\english\links SET LINKS=%LETTER%\dos\english\links a: cd \menu menu.bat goto out :cdnfound echo Recovery cd not found! :out CONFIG.SYS files=20 buffers=10 stacks=0,0 break=on lastdrive=z switches=/F DEVICE=HIMEM64.EXE dos=low rem device=vide-cdd.sys /D:CD001 rem device=usbaspi.sys /v rem device=di1000dd.sys /v /w rem device=usbcd.sys /d:USBCD001 DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:CDDRIVE shell=command.com /E:256 /P break = ON MENU.BAT @echo off if %LANG%.==DE. set LANG=GE goto %LANG%LCL :ENLCL set LOCAL=english goto menu :menu a: cd a:\menu dos_menu.exe menu_%LANG%.txt if errorlevel 9 goto do_job9 if errorlevel 8 goto do_job8 if errorlevel 6 goto do_job6 if errorlevel 5 goto do_job5 if errorlevel 2 goto do_job2 if errorlevel 1 goto do_job1 :do_job2 %LETTER% cd \pgon\dos\%LOCAL%\psidb\personal (changed the path of where my paragon files are) cwsdpr0.exe -s- psi.exe -o none --input "mountlist(-1,-1)" pause goto menu :do_job1 %LETTER% set LINKS=%LETTER%\dos\%LOCAL%\links cd \pgon\dos\%LOCAL%\db\personal cwsdpr0.exe -s- pm.exe SRW_OPTS goto menu :do_job6 dn.com goto menu :do_job8 goto end :do_job9 reboot.com goto menu :do_job5 %LETTER% set LINKS=%LETTER%\dos\%LOCAL%\links cd \pgon\dos\%LOCAL%\db\personal cwsdpr0.exe -s- pm.exe SRW_OPTS goto menu :end Did you get the Linux portion to work? I tried per those instructions and keep getting an error when using ISOLinux and cdshell....

Nevermind, found my solution. http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=12811

Greetings, I'm working on my Multi build DVD using cdshell. So far everything is working great. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to or what is needed to also include the paragon drive image 7 bootable CD? I've created my dat file, put the cd files in the root of my dvd but only boots to a blank screen. I have a feeling the bootable CD is using Linux and that may be the problem. Anyone out there try this and have it working? I extracted just the dos version and it loads to some extent then tells me it cannot find the recovery cd. Thanks in advance.
