I don't have to. Nothing is duplicated on my image. I was thinking about adding the ISO9660 EFI but no I don't have a reason for that. > > The first release, here: > > https://github.com/Jajcus/pld-new-rescue/releases/tag/th2012-0.1 > > Downloaded; boots fine in kvm but oopses on ASUS UX31A (i7-3517 > known to work under opensuse-based 3.0 and 3.4 built by my kernel > hacker colleague), both UEFI and CSM cases. UEFI photo is here: > http://fly.osdn.org.ua/~mike/img/misc/PNR-UX31A.jpg Thanks for the information. I would be surprised if it boots everywhere. Looks like some kernel/driver problem. I will release a new set of images, based on current PLD Th soon – maybe that will work better. I am also considering using the kernel-rescuecd package instead of the full featured PLD kernel which is used now. > > Please give it a try and let me know what you think. > > Maybe you'll find some packages I've added to ALT Linux Rescue useful: > http://git.altlinux.org/people/mike/packages/?p=mkimage-profiles.git;a=tree;f=pkg.in/lists/tagged;hb=HEAD > (*rescue* pkglists) I'll check that out.

I haven't really succeeded in making ALT ISO images bootable from both CD/DVD and USB Flash without duplicating kernel and initrd for alternative EFI boot image (pretending to be a fake partition after hybridization) so far, did you consider loading ISO9660 EFI driver to reuse main image contents? At least paths will get way more complicated it seems. > The project home is here: https://github.com/Jajcus/pld-new-rescue Cloned, thanks. > The first release, here: > https://github.com/Jajcus/pld-new-rescue/releases/tag/th2012-0.1 Downloaded; boots fine in kvm but oopses on ASUS UX31A (i7-3517 known to work under opensuse-based 3.0 and 3.4 built by my kernel hacker colleague), both UEFI and CSM cases.

PLD New Rescue
Hi, PLD Rescue CD is a great tool and was an important part of the PLD Linux ecosystem for years. But recently it has not been maintained at all. On EFI systems it is quite useless and making it boot from anything else that the original ISO image is more complicated that it should be. That is why I wanted to build something better. First I tried to hack and customize the original RCD, but with lack of documentation or 'source code' it was a mess. I managed to boot it from EFI but the solution was ugly and the image was twice as big as the original. Then I decided to start from scratch and finally managed to build something that works (at least in VirtualBox and on two laptops) and looks decent. It should also be easier to maintain and customize than the original RCD. The project home is here: https://github.com/Jajcus/pld-new-rescue The first release, here: https://github.com/Jajcus/pld-new-rescue/releases/tag/th2012-0.1 I used Th 2012 as a base so I don't need to update the supporting code every day. I am looking forward to see a new PLD Th snapshot for similar purpose. I am attaching the package list. Not everything what was in the original PLD RCD is included in my image – in most cases because the packages were missing or could not be installed due to dependency problems. Please give it a try and let me know what you think.
