Hi, For the first solution I'm not sure about what you mean by appropriate directories. I was trying to search for a package named kernel or something but didn't found any on my machine from pkg list command. I'm a newbie so I'll require a bit more help.
For the second solution, now since the online repo is timing out, what I tried was to create a repo of my own, with a dummy package. (Only 1). Now when I tried to build my image, obviously no programs would be there, I got errors , I've turned off errors just to see exactly what goes on with the scripts. Now the scripts require that pkg_img contains the required directories. I'm assuming that this happens while installing the packages that they unpack and create the required directories? But if that's the case, the scripts themselves don't contain the kernel image that needs to go in this live iso image (or does it?). Now where is this being specified? The manifest for distro_const? I didn't saw any entry for ai_x86_image.xml that specifies the kernel image. I hope you understand what I'm trying to do here... Thanks very much for the response. -----Original Message----- From: Keith Mitchell [mailto:keith.mitch...@oracle.com] Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2010 8:10 PM To: Pranay Kumar Shrivastava Cc: opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org; caiman-discuss Subject: Re: [osol-discuss] Specifying the kernel in my image. (Cross-posting to caiman-discuss) If you've compiled the kernel sources, you have 2 options: 1) Publish them as the appropriate IPS package to a (local) repository, and use that as the preferred publisher / authority for the distro_const (DC) build. 2) Add a finalizer script, immediately after the "im-pop" finalizer, that copies the binary into the correct location in the proto/pkg_image area of the build*. * See: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/dev/DistroConst/scripts.html On 06/17/10 04:26 AM, Pranay Srivastava wrote: > Hi, > I've been experimenting with [u][b]distro_const[/b][/u], the manifest file ( > Mostly same i actually copied from AI installer for x86). > > The question is if say i've compiled a the kernel sources and they reside in > the platform/build-18..... some directory.
