During booting of lupu 5.20 ,It starts searching for puppy files in computer disk drives,says boot partitions not found, dropping out to initial ram disk console then
/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
#
it remains at this position for ever.
I have been using lucid puppy 5.1.1 with pen drive through multibooting software of pendrivelinux. I have P2 with 256MB ram, hdd 10GB,usb pendrive 1 GB.

that happens to me also sometimes when i use the option for it to copy to ram and ignore other pupsave files.
instead , i just boot it with the defaults and works like a charm

Hi, I was having the same problem, and did the following to fix it:

Boot from the flash drive. Right when it starts press F2;

Enter the following on the command line:

puppy pmedia=usbflash pfix=copy acpi=force

=======================

Booted flawlessly for me. Hope it works for you if you haven't solved your problem already

Peace,
