Didn't work. don't see where to go from here. the last thing I did was verify that ide was compiled in the kernel, which most of the board specific ide stuff was not. still didn't work. _________________ Andy Carlson |

It seems that this iseries thing is really coming from genkernel....
Please remove the Line Nr. ~350 in /usr/share/genkernel/generic/initrd.scripts
The Line is:
Code: | DEVICES="$DEVICES /dev/iseries/vcd*" |
Then, rebuild your initramdrive and the iso!
cheers |

Hi-
I followed this howto http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_build_a_LiveCD_from_scratch building my own kernel from scratch then running genkernel initrd
I'm having the same iseries issue.
Code: | >> Activating mdev
>> Making tmpfs for /newroot
>> Attempting to mount media:- /dev/hdc
>> Media found on /dev/iseries/vcd*
>> Determining root device...
>> Determining looptype ...
!! Invalid loop location: /livecd.squashfs
!! Please export LOOP with a valid location, or reboot and pass a proper loop=...
!! kernel command line! |
Did as suggested in the quote:
Code: | bootstrapCD() {
# Locate the cdrom device with our media on it.
# CDROM DEVICES
DEVICES="/dev/cdroms/* /dev/ide/cd/* /dev/sr*"
# USB Keychain/Storage
DEVICES="$DEVICES /dev/sd*"
# IDE devices
DEVICES="$DEVICES /dev/hd*"
# USB using the USB Block Driver
###added comment DEVICES="$DEVICES /dev/ubd* /dev/ubd/*"
# iSeries devices
###added comment DEVICES="$DEVICES /dev/iseries/vcd*"
# The device was specified on the command line. Shold we even be doing a
# scan at this point? I think not.
[ -n "${CDROOT_DEV}" ] && DEVICES="$DEVICES ${CDROOT_DEV}"
findcdmount $DEVICES
}
|
but that made vcd* turn to ubd* with the same result. My cd is loading as sr0
same as before initrd.scripts update and still giving the same
Quote: | "!! Invalid loop location: /livecd.squashfs " error. |
This post https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-550669-highlight-iseries+loop.html
shows the issue as solved by unpacking initramfs and adding a isofs module. I'd try that but I'm not sure howto unpack/pack initrmfs.
Any ideas appreciated.
Cheers, |
