This is what I did. I gone into this folder : /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/ and I have renamed the file "initrd.gz" into "initrd_.gz" and I've burnt a new ISO image. I have soon realized that that file has been regenerated. The initrd_.gz file disappeared and a new initrd.gz file appeared when,in CUBIC,I have chosen which kernel bootstrap,as you can see here : https://ibb.co/Xy0nKtL ; So. I suppose that the file that I should alter is called "initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64" because I have chosen that kernel version on the Cubic tab. And this is what I tried to do,but it didn't work. This is the commands that I have issued :
cd /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot gunzip initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64.gz : has been produced a cpio file called : initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 mv initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64_ cpio -idv < initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64_ : it has been unpacked and then I've copied the files inside a folder called initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 cd /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64/ cp /usr/share/plymouth/debian-logo.png /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64/usr/share/plymouth/ cp /usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld/debian.png /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64/usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld cp /usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld/logo.png /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64/usr/share/plymouth/themes/homeworld mv initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64- cd /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64- find . -print -depth | cpio -ov > ../initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 : generated the cpio file called initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 cd .. gzip initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 : generated the gzip file called " initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64" cd /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/ mv initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64_ cp /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-disk/boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64.gz /home/ziomario/Scrivania/PassT-Cubic/Debian-new/custom-root/boot/ size of the new (initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64) file is 178.4 MiB (187,099,720 byte),of the old one is : 78.8 MiB (82,661,551 byte) ; so probably there is something not good if the sizes are so different ? Anyway,I've burned a new ISO image with cubic and I've tried to boot it,but I've got the following error : https://ibb.co/GCBFcpK Il giorno sab 22 ott 2022 alle ore 18:02 Andrew M.A. Cater < amaca...@einval.com> ha scritto: > On Sat, Oct 22, 2022 at 05:13:18PM +0200, Thomas Schmitt wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Mario Marietto wrote: > > > I'm trying to change the pictures inside the /live/initrd.gz file. > > > > I really wonder where this file comes from. > > > > > > > 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.
