Anyone here maintains the installation guide? refering to this link https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/ch04s03.html.en
I found that these instructions in does not work for me: > 4.3.3.2. Adding the installer image > > > Next you should create a syslinux.cfg configuration file, which at a bare > minimum should contain the following two lines : > >> default vmlinuz >> append initrd=initrd.gz >> >> I might be wrong, but i found that the official syslinux site warns us about using APPEND directive in syslinux 5.00 and above http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Directives/append Take the following simple configuration: > > DEFAULT mykernel > APPEND root=/dev/sda2 > > Note that the APPEND line here is a *global* directive, as it is not part > of any LABEL entry. > > For Syslinux 4.xx and older, the above simple configuration works as (it > used to be) expected. > > Since version 5.00, the result for the above sample configuration is that > the *root=/dev/sda2* argument is not parsed, which will lead to > unexpected results, most probably with some kind of failure to boot the OS. > In other words, the *global* APPEND is ignored by the DEFAULT directive. > > For the above example, the configuration could be re-written as: > > DEFAULT mykernel root=/dev/sda2 > > or even better as: > > DEFAULT mylabel > LABEL mylabel > KERNEL mykernel > APPEND root=/dev/sda2 > > Debian jessie uses syslinux 6.03, creating a bootable usb installer using jessie's machine gives me something like '*kernel panic*: *VFS*: unable to *mount*' I struggled for hours to solve this (since i'm a newbie, and i have very little knowledge about creating bootable usb in linux). @maintainers, you might want make some changes in your 'installation guide', @all, if there is no maintainers here, how can i reach them?
