I really wonder where this file comes from. > I have followed your suggestions,doing something like this : > gunzip /live/initrd.gz I also wonder about the absolute path "/live/initrd.gz".

Better first check by cpio -t < /live/initrd | less > cd initrd So it did unpack a top directory ./initrd" ? > find . -print -depth | cpio -ov > ../initrd And is not the "../initrd" here the directory "initrd" into which you just descended ? I don't dare to imagine what happens if you succeed with directing cpio's output to the parent directory of the current working directory. But doesn't this fail with a complaint from the shell that you cannot redirect to a directory ? > gzip initrd I guess there is a "cd .." missing before this ? > BUT after having "burned" another ISO image using Cubic,I've seen that it > still uses the old images that I have previously added inside the > /live/initrd file.

So it probably makes assumptions which the Debian Live ISO does not fulfill. Did you follow the advise of "Cubic PPA (cubic-wizard)" in https://answers.launchpad.net/cubic/+question/703422 to ask your question on the "official web site" ? > Inside the "live" folder I have the following files : > config-5.10.0-18-amd64 > filesystem.size > initrd-unpacked > initrd.gz > vmlinuz > filesystem.manifest > filesystem.squashfs > initrd > System.map-5.10.0-18-amd64 Of those i see in debian-live-11.5.0-amd64-xfce.iso only three: config-5.10.0-18-amd64 , filesystem.squashfs , System.map-5.10.0-18-amd64 sudo mount debian-live-11.5.0-amd64-xfce.iso /mnt/iso du -s /mnt/iso/live/* yields 1 /mnt/iso/live/System.map-5.10.0-18-amd64 231 /mnt/iso/live/config-5.10.0-18-amd64 2194208 /mnt/iso/live/filesystem.squashfs 48618 /mnt/iso/live/initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64 6799 /mnt/iso/live/vmlinuz-5.10.0-18-amd64 Looking for files named "initrd*" by find /mnt/iso -name 'initrd*' yields /mnt/iso/d-i/gtk/initrd.gz /mnt/iso/d-i/initrd.gz /mnt/iso/live/initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64 /mnt/iso/pool/main/k/kickseed/initrd-kickseed_0.63_all.udeb /mnt/iso/pool/main/p/preseed/initrd-preseed_1.109_all.udeb > So. What's my problem ? It could be that you try to squeeze the square block into the round hole. Either eliminate Cubic from your proceedings or ask its developer via https://github.com/PJ-Singh-001/Cubic/issues Have a nice day :) Thomas
