Problems rebuilding binary image
Hi, I'm new to the mailing list, sorry if I'm not using the correct format. System: Ubuntu 8.04 live-helper: 2.0~a8-1from sid repo Arch: x86 I (somewhat)successfully built my first live image but needed to go back and change some settings (i.e. runlevel, etc). I first did a 'sudo lh clean --binary' then changed the settings in the chroot directory and ran 'sudo lh binary'. Judging from the terminal output, I thought everything went ok but after completion, I discovered 'lh binary' only created binary/live/filesystem.squashfs and no iso image. I have repeated the process again and got the same result. From my understanding, this is not correct so if anyone could tell me what I am doing wrong it would be greatly appreciated.

Passing argument to apt-get
Hi Everyone, I'm trying to build a gnome-less Lenny image (xfce), however some gnome stuff has crept in (gksu, gnome-mime-data, gnome-mount, etc). From what I can tell, (since none of packages require gnome) is that apt is installing the "recommended" packages as if they were dependencies, i.e. synaptic only recommends gksu but somehow it gets installed in my live image. I did a little reading and found the option for apt '--no-install-recommends' but I am not sure how I could pass this to live helper. Does anyone know how this could be done, or any other way to remove the gnome stuff? Thanks in advance. <>

Using a newer kernel with lenny
Hi all, I'm trying to use a newer kernel with my lenny build but I am running into a few problems. I added the repo listed in section 5.5 of the manual (only added the .chroot source) along with the gpg key and added "linux-image-2.6 aufs-modules-2.6" to my custom package list.

Fwd: Re: Using a newer kernel with lenny
I sent this reply to the wrong address first time around. Sorry about the confusion. I also added my switches for lh config Thanks for the help, unfortunately it did not make a difference. Here is what I did: (as root) rm config/* lh clean lh config --archive-areas 'main non-free' -d lenny -b iso --apt-recommends false lh build And still got the same error. For some reason lh is still trying to install the 2.6.26 kernel. I even tried backing up my stuff and "rm -r config" but still had the same results. I also tried the method suggested by intrigeri. I cloned the git repo, then copied the config/chroot_local-packages/aufs-modules-2.6-686_1.0_all.deb and squashfs-modules-2.6-686_1.0_all.deb packages to my config/chroot_local-packages and then set up the debian backports repo. It looks like this method will work, however I still have a small problem. Live helper installs two kernel versions; one for i486 and another for i686. The fake packages provided by T(A)ILS only covers i686 so I still run into dependency problems. I'm not sure how to configure lh for i686 only (-a i686 did not work) so I may have to make i486 versions of the squashfs and aufs packages. Once again, thanks for the help. ...

Re: Fwd: Re: Using a newer kernel with lenny
Thanks for the tips. I discovered the problem that was causing the squashfs-modules-2.6-486 issue. It turns out that I had the wrong kernel flavor in my package list. I changed linux-image-2.6-486=2.6.32+27~bpo50+1 to linux-image-2.6-686=2.6.32+27~bpo50+1 and made a few modifications to the fake aufs and squashfs packages along with adding the kernel flavor to my config. -k 686=2.6.32+27~bpo50+ Now the image builds but won't boot. The entry in isolinux.cfg points to /live/vmlinuz and /live/initrd.img but my kernel and initrd are: /live/vmlinuz-2.6.32-bpo.5-686 /live/initrd.img-2.6.32-bpo.5-686 Is there any way to modify the isolinux.cfg file before building? If not I may have to extract the iso, chang the entry, then rebuild, but this is my last resort. Thanks for all of the help. <>

I'm assuming that the proper backport for the kernel must be the 2.6.30 from the unsupported.debian-maintainers.org repo. I removed linux-image from my package list, added the unsupported repo to config/chroot_sources, and then modified my config/chroot like so: LH_LINUX_FLAVOURS="backports.1-686" LH_LINUX_PACKAGES="linux-image-2.6.30 aufs-modules-2.6.30" The build process completed and the image boots the 2.6.30 kernel without issue (so far) everything else is just stupid (no offence intendet).

Problems booting live system from usb
Hi everyone,
I'm unable to boot my lenny system from a usb drive. Testing with "qemu
-cdrom binary-hybrid.iso" works so I know the image is not the problem.
I have a usb stick that I boot multiple os's from, so rather than copy
the entire image to the drive, I just copied the contents of /live from
the hybrid iso into the directory /debian_live on my usb drive.
ls /media/liveboot/debian_live/
filesystem.packages filesystem.squashfs initrd.img memtest
parameters.txt vmlinuz
Then I added the following entry to my grub.cfg (grub2 on the drive)
menuentry "Debian Live" {
linux /debian_live/vmlinuz
initrd /debian_live/initrd.img boot=live live-config xdebconf debug
live-media-path=/debian_live/ live-media=removable-usb
}
I read through the man page for live-initramfs and added the
"live-media-path=" and "live-media=" parameters, but the system defaults
to busybox after a few seconds with the error messages:
Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top
... done.
Begin: Running /scripts/local-premount ... done.
mount: cannot read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ... done.
done.
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... mount: mounting /dev on
/root/dev failed: No such file or directory
done.
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init.
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg
Looking through the man page, I do not see a init= parameter so I am
assuming that it is part of the grub entry. Anyone know what the problem
could be? Any help is appreciated.

I just grabbed live-helper and live-build from the sid repos and started working. I never realized that I needed anything else. I am building on Ubuntu 10.04, so maybe that has something to do with the problem. I see there is a package for live-initramfs in the Ubuntu repos, version 1.173.1. I am guessing that it is old so I will grab the latest from sid. Unless there is a better option. Thanks for the quick reply. <>

I have live-initramfs version: 1.156.1+1.157.2-1 just to be sure: you're building*on* ubuntu, but you're building a debian image, not an ubuntu one. if so, then you should be fine. Yes, this is correct. My operating system is Ubuntu 10.04 and I am building a Debian Lenny image I have tried this with 2 different images that I have built. Both are lenny and both have the same results. My initial thought is that maybe there needs to be a delay in the init somewhere to give the filesystem time to decompress, but its just a thought. I will try downloading a pre-made image and see if the problem persists. <>

Thanks.
Here are the steps I used to install debian live to my usb stick (which
has ext3 fs):
mkdir /media/liveboot/debian_live
mount -o loop binary-hybrid.iso /mnt
cp /mnt/live/* /media/liveboot/debian_live (I checked the md5sums to
verify the files are not corrupt)
The drive already has grub2 so I just added the entry:
menuentry "Debian Live" {
linux /debian_live/vmlinuz
initrd /debian_live/initrd.img boot=live live-config xdebconf debug
live-media-path=/debian_live/ live-media=removable-usb
}
Since my last message I have tried a few different images and all have
the same problem. The first image was and old lenny+kde iso that I
downloaded from the archives about 6 months ago
(debian-live-503-amd64-kde-desktop.iso).
The other image is the latest squeeze build from the archives
(debian-live-60alpha1-i386-standard.iso) and it suffers the same problem.
I also played around with adding various kernel parameters (root=,
rootdelay=, init=) but none made a difference.
I'm not entirely sure how the boot process works so I can't determine
where the problem is. I will probably try making a usb-hdd image and
writing it to a drive, unless someone has a better idea.

I was unsuccessful trying to boot this way so I ended up making a
usb-hdd image that boots without problem.
I used,
dd if=binary.img of=/dev/sdc
I also created an iso-hybrid image, but when I tried to boot it from my
usb drive isolinux could not find the configuration file.
I used,
dd if=binary-hybrid.iso of=/dev/sdc
Not sure what the problem is since the image boots fine from a cdrom.
