I have managed to compile and install the new kernel on a running voyage
linux.
Now I'm trying to create the image with the new kernel. In which
directory did you put the kernel image and which files did you modified?
I do not have a debian package repository configured.
After that, I'm creating a tutorial that I will post online.
See you

Hi Jorge,
Sounds like you are going down a road that I have already traveled.
I would download the SDK, install it, and set up the build environment
to let you "rebuild" the distribution images (live build scripts).
Get yourself some kernel source, and use the Voyage kernel config as a
starting point to customize your own kernel.
You are also going to probably need to patch the kernel source to
support aufs in order for the Debian Live stuff to work properly.
If that all works, you should be able to use your generated kernel
.deb for the kernel used when re-building the distro.
Finally, it should just be a matter of running "./build.sh img" which
will build you the distro image.
You can use the .img with dd or physdiskwrite to write it directly to
a USB stick.
Then you will have the equivalent of a CD-R Live CD on a USB stick.
You can boot from that stick and use it like you would use the Live
CD, including using the installer scripts to install your customized
build on a machine.
I have gone through this whole process a few times now to build myself
a custom Amateur Radio tailored installation (based on 0.7.5
currently). I can give you some more help off-line if you like.
Cheers!

Hi,
Have tried the installation on USB stick following the info in
http://linux.voyage.hk/content/getting-started-live-cd-v08x
And no luck at all.
I'm just wondering if anybody has been able to install Voyage on a USB and
boot a laptop or PC with it :(
Any help is more than welcome.

No I haven't because I want to customize the kernel for including some
communication aspects that are not included.

Hi George,
Have you try burn the iso image directly to the USB flash drive? The iso
is generated using hybrid iso that this way is supposed to work.... But
I have not tried yet.... so I need a helper for that.

Hi,

I've been following your howto on Voyage Linux on a USB flash drive
but I haven't been successful to boot my laptop using the USB with
Voyage Linux.
Following this link I have generated the kernel debian package setting
the options for USB to "y"
# CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 DEB_HOST_ARCH=i386 ARCH=i386 make-kpkg --arch
i386 --cross-compile - --revision="3.0usb" --append-to-version
"-486-voyage" --initrd kernel-image
I'm using ubuntu 10.04 as the build system.
Then I have chroot in the voyage-0.8.0 directory to install the new
kernel. But I've got the following error a the end of the installation:
--------

Could you give me any advice that can help me out?
