Hello list, Has anyone managed to install a customised (or even standard) SysRescCd image onto a USB stick so that it will boot in UEFI mode? I wanted to use the following partition layout:
(parted) print Model: SanDisk Ultra Fit (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 59232MiB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1.00MiB 128MiB 127MiB BOOTLDR bios_grub 2 128MiB 2048MiB 1920MiB fat32 boot boot, esp 3 2048MiB 4096MiB 2048MiB linux-swap(v1) SWAP 4 4096MiB 16384MiB 12288MiB ext2 sysrescue 5 16384MiB 24576MiB 8192MiB ext2 home I followed the procedures at https://www.system-rescue-cd.org and thought I was getting on all right until it came to re-creating the squashfs with /usr/sbin/sysresccd-custom squashfs Then I got huge numbers of input-output read errors. So I tried it with 2>/dev/null; it got up to 10% completion and a couple of hundred megabytes in sysrccd.dat, then sat in a loop for ever whirling its little spinner. I thought I'd ask here before trying the forum because of the density of experts here. ;-) Omitting the customisation and just copying all the files into place on /dev/sda4 (root, ext4 with no journal) and /dev/sda2 (boot, vfat) but although the "BIOS" saw it was there, when I tried to run it I was dumped to a grub shell. I don't know grub well so I couldn't proceed. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll be grateful. Ta. -- Rgds Peter
