Package: live-boot Version: 1:20190614 Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, First of all, I use several Linux distributions to test my programs. That's, why I can't just install Linux on my computer and have to use Live distributions instead. I just need to constantly switch between many different versions. I had Debian 9.9 live images installed on my 1Tb HDD. I tried to update to 10, but it refused to boot. Every time, I try to boot it, it just shows graphical logo and makes several attempts to access my computer's HDD and removable HDD. After that, it shows initramfs prompt and after using exit command it shows following error: https://i3.imageban.ru/out/2019/08/28/b926b086915a1ed03880dcfa7ec5a8ef.jpg I use syslinux config, like this one (some files are renamed to remove clutter): label ubnentry6 menu label Debian Linux 10.0 Mate 32bit kernel /debian/10.0/32/mate/live/vmlinuz append initrd=/debian/10.0/32/mate/live/initrd.lz boot=live components ignore_uuid live-media-path=/debian/10.0/32/mate/live/ quiet splash label ubnentry7 menu label Debian Linux 10.0 Mate 32bit PAE kernel /debian/10.0/pae/mate/live/vmlinuz append initrd=/debian/10.0/pae/mate/live/initrd.lz boot=live components ignore_uuid live-media-path=/debian/10.0/pae/mate/live/ quiet splash label ubnentry8 menu label Debian Linux 10.0 Mate 64bit kernel /debian/10.0/64/mate/live/vmlinuz append initrd=/debian/10.0/64/mate/live/initrd.lz boot=live components ignore_uuid live-media-path=/debian/10.0/64/mate/live/ quiet splash Exactly the same images with exactly the same config and directory structure boot successfully from FAT32 flash drive. This suggests, that problem is exactly with NTFS support. What I've tried to do to solve this problem? I tried to rebuild ISO images via live-build. I had some problems. I needed to completely change whole live-build config in order to manage to build something. I managed to change kernel, pre- install firmware and some packages. But no success with booting from NTFS. Initramfs should be build with default configuration, i.e. no DISABLE_NTFS flag. Therefore it should support booting from removable NTFS drive. But it doesn't. Fix it, please. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-686-pae (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages live-boot depends on: ii live-boot-initramfs-tools [live-boot-backend] 1:20190614 Versions of packages live-boot recommends: ii live-boot-doc 1:20190614 ii live-tools 1:20171207 ii rsync 3.1.3-6 ii uuid-runtime 2.33.1-0.1 Versions of packages live-boot suggests: pn cryptsetup <none> pn curlftpfs <none> pn httpfs2 <none> ii wget 1.20.1-1.1 -- no debconf information
