As I have in the past, alter the openSuse Live DVD distro, I essentially just unpack the cloop.img modify it by adding some of my needed software and re-compress it, generating a new cloop.img. I also at times even made a new kernel, and altered the initrd.gz
However, now, when I go to modify live DVD 10.2 I get a modprobe: FATAL ... errors block_major_## where ## is 3 33 56 just about every number .... oddly the original Live DVD 10.2 i get only two modprobe Fatal errors on block_major_3 (and 4 i think) but it still works, when I repackage I get tonnes of them. It occrus after the cloop module has been loaded, just after the kernel detects the IDE devices but before it mounts the /dev/cloop# device. It seems to be crapping (giving these errors on making devices?). since it is crapping before the cloop.img, i know thats not an issue. I am using the original initrd.gz The only thing I am doing is mkisofs repacking!! and doing so with ..... /usr/bin/mkisofs -R -no-emul-boot -b isolinux.bin -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -A "openSUSE 10.2 Live DVD" -V SU1010.002 -p [EMAIL PROTECTED] -publisher "SUSE Linux Products GmbH" -o outer.iso -pad isolinux which aside from changing the name (to match the image) this is the iso creation command I have used for many versions in the past. what am I missing to simply be able to repackage? there must be something in the "init" binary start up script of the initrd that is trying to access something that isn't available due to some subtly that I am missing? Is there a document somewhere about the creation of the openSUSE Live DVD? Or is that document in just 1-2 developers minds .... or is it secret sauce? -tl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
