Package: live-build Version: 3.0~a51-1 Severity: normal I have been using live-build to generate a NFS-root system to be booted via PXE:
lb config --architecture i386 \ --linux-flavours 686 \ --distribution wheezy \ --chroot-filesystem plain --binary-images net \ --net-root-path '/nfsroot/live' --net-root-server '$nfsroot_srv' \ ... On sqeeze, everything works o.k (with minor adjustments). After moving to a wheezy system, generating the system fails: No matter what I do, live-build won't install a kernel in the chroot area. Because various scripts rely on it to be installed in chroot/boot (first error in "lb_binary_linux-image", trying to copy chroot/boot/vmlinuz-*) the build is aborted. In the generated "binary image" (binary/live/filesystem.dir/boot/), kernel and initrd are correctly installed. Eventually, I discovered, that the man page for "lb_config" now among the possible values for "--chroot-filesystem" does not mention "plain" anymore. Instead, it now mentions a "none", which sounds like it should replace the pvrevious "plain". Unfortunatly, "--chroot-filesystem none" did not get me any further: Now the build is aborted in lb_binary_manifest, which tries to copy "chroot.packages.live" to "binary/${INITFS}/filesystem.${SUFFIX}", i.e. the non-existant directory binary/live. After looking closer, I am not even sure anymore, whether it really was intended to replace "--chroot-filesystem plain" with "--chroot-filesystem plain": At least in "lb_binary_rootfs" there are branches for both, "plain" and "none", but with different actions. In any case, it looks like for generating nfs-root systems, the different scripts just don't fit together anymore ... -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages live-build depends on: ii debootstrap 1.0.44 Versions of packages live-build recommends: ii cpio 2.11-8 ii gnu-fdisk 1.2.4-3.1 ii live-boot-doc 3.0~a35-1 ii live-config-doc 3.0~a43-1 ii live-manual 1:2.0.2-1 ii live-manual-epub [live-manual] 1:3.0~a13-1 ii live-manual-html [live-manual] 1:3.0~a13-1 ii live-manual-odf [live-manual] 1:3.0~a13-1 ii live-manual-pdf [live-manual] 1:3.0~a13-1 ii live-manual-txt [live-manual] 1:3.0~a13-1 Versions of packages live-build suggests: ii dosfstools 3.0.13-1 ii fakeroot 1.18.4-2 ii genisoimage 9:1.1.11-2 ii grub-legacy [grub] 0.97-66 ii memtest86 4.0s-1 ii mtools 4.0.17-1 pn parted <none> pn squashfs-tools | mtd-tools <none> ii sudo 1.8.5p2-1 ii syslinux 2:4.05+dfsg-6+deb7u1 pn uuid-runtime <none> pn win32-loader <none> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
