Hello,
Please accept the attached patch which will ensure LH_BOOTAPPEND_INSTALL is
always set correctly and thus enable images to successfully boot even if you
set LH_BOOTAPPEND_INSTALL yourself. The current behavior is to only modify
LH_BOOTAPPEND_INSTALL if LH_BOOTAPPEND_INSTALL is empty. This means that if
you *do* set LH_BOOTAPPEND_INSTALL, live-helper will no longer automatically
add, for example, 'cdrom-detect/try-usb=true' to LH_BOOTAPPEND_INSTALL which
is required to boot d-i from usb thumb drive. Whats currently required is to
figure out what you need that live-helper was adding for you and add it
yourself to LH_BOOTAPPEND_INSTALL in config/binary. It would be much more
convenient if live-helper always automatically took care of this by always
appending LH_BOOTAPPEND_INSTALL as necessary.
Cheers,
