Hi Daniel
I tried the new version yesterday but it took the hole night to finish so I will see the result when I'm back at home.

Edit:
Again, it took some hours to complete but now I can boot the cd without any problems. Dan, thanks a lot for your great work!

hi laffel.

Dan and i are working at this moment on custom stage3 tarballs, in order to speed up the livecd generation process.

At the moment, we have thought about building 3 stage3 tarballs:

1) basic (non-gui) stage3 tarball, its just an up to date official stage3 tarball, including some apps needed for the liveCD, listed in /etc/fb-livecd/profiles/{profile}/stage?-* files.
2) qt/kde-gui stage3 tarball: basic stage3 tarball, a complete kde desktop environment and fluxbox desktop environment.
3) gtk+/gnome-gui stage3 tarball, basic stage3 tarball, a complete gnome desktop environment and fluxbox desktop environment.

Not to compile Xfree86, kde, or gnome, will shorten the livecd generation process a lot.

Soon those stage3 tarballs will be available to download from fb-livecd site.
Suggestions? :idea:

greetings. ;)

Hi Noltha,

Sorry I forgot to thank you too. I really appreciate the work of you and Dan :D

From my point of view I would love to have a gentooished livecd with X and Fluxbox on the top :)

I will give a try to the new scripts and install them as soon as my new box is up and running with the help of the cd. It should do the building process in less than 8 hours

ok, so as far as the 2.6 kernels go... you could probably do it if you found some alternative to cloop, thats the only way, ive checked and the cloop modules wont compile against a 2.6... at least not yet... and probably not a while after release

but i have my own problem... i didnt bother messing around w/ livecd-ng, but maybe some people would know whats up...

im working on a livecd... and it needs to be pretty big, so i made a folder.. started from stage1, and just emerged what i needed. then i used dd to make a block, formatted ext2 and ext3 (since one didnt work, i though id try the other)

then i ran create_compressed_fs moved it to the iso folder, ran mkisofs w/ all the fun voodoo type options, and am using vmware to test it out...

so anyway, the problem im having is that the cloop file doesnt get mounted... and it took me forever to realize that was my problem because there was absolutely no error output.... the effect it has is that it hangs on when trying to mount proc...

any ideas??
(if you need more info, let me know)

btw... im using everything else from the gentoo cd... kernels, initrd, modules, etc.

I would bother messing around with:
http://livecd.lockedbox.net/

You will find it sooo easy to make your own livecd from scratch.

The problem is probably in the linuxrc inside the initrd that your booting, it will be mounting a .cloop file of a cirtain name. Not sure what that will be.

PostPosted: Tue Nov 18, 2003 9:24 pm    Post subject: Problem found in livecd-ng script with new stage3 tarballs Reply with quote

As of the current stage3 tarball for x86 on 11/18/2003 the directory /usr/portage is not included in the tarball. This is required for app-admin/livecd-ng ver. 1.0 to function.

I wrote a small code snip to correct for this that verifies if /usr/portage exists in the extracted tarball and makes it if it does not. This is apposed to simply dying like the script currently does for me.

You can either download the edited livecd-ng script from:
http://www.e-lsd.com/downloads/livecd-ng.e-lsd

Or insert the following code:
Code:
# The newest stage tarballs do not include /usr/portage and so this
# process dies. The following lines are to correct for this. 
# 11/18/2003 ELSDWebmaster - webmaster@e-lsd.com

if [ ! -e "$CD_BUILDCHROOT/usr/portage" ]
then
        mkdir $CD_BUILDCHROOT/usr/portage
fi

# end code edit


Between these two lines in the current /usr/sbin/livecd-ng:
Code:
mount -o bind /proc $CD_BUILDCHROOT/proc || chroot_die
mount -o bind $CD_PORTDIR $CD_BUILDCHROOT/usr/portage || chroot_die

Hi All,
Zenshi wrote:
DanBUK, the problem i was facing was that if i used a 2.6.0 kernel , the compressed_loop.c won't complie straight, that makes any sense to you?

I dont know why I didnt think of this before, just place loop in your /usr/sbin/fb-livecd or /usr/sbin/livecd-ng. This wont compress, so you will be limited on the loop size. Size of CD minus a bit.
eg:
Code:

line 287: LOOP_MODE=cloop

change to:
line 287: LOOP_MODE=loop


I am still looking at variations on the cloop idea for 2.6 kernels...

Regards,
Daniel.

DanBUK,

I'm trying to use your latest script, but it tries to download the older stage3 tarball. I edited the settings file in the i386 profile, and changed it to the November version stage3. It now downloads fine, but after unpacking, the script gives this error:
Code:
Using /etc/fb-livecd as LIVECD_ROOT.
>>> Extracting stage tarball...
mount: can't find /home/livecd/tmp/i386/cdroot/home/distfiles in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
chroot_generate: aborting.


Any Ideas?

Have you got somthing similar to:
Code:

CD_DISTDIR=/usr/portage/distfiles
CD_PORTDIR=/usr/portage
CD_TEMPROOT=/home/home20/livecd/tmp
CD_STAGELOC=/home/home20/livecd/download

in your /root/.fb-livecd

Cheers,
Daniel.

It appears I was missing the first line. For some reason, I swear I put that one in. Oh well. :-)

This has been asked before but not answered. Did the people experiencing this find a solution?

When booting off a LiveCD built using these instructions, I get this (transcribed by hand, so forgive me if it's incomplete):

Code:
EXT2-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext2_read_inode: unable to read inode block - inode=5008, block=8197
Warning: unable to open an initial console.


The EXT error repeats with inode 5001, same block, followed by:

Code:
Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.


Any ideas? I can mount the initrd, and it looks fine (although there is no init in it, should there be? /sbin is a soft link to /bin).

BTW, I get the same error booting from the USB stick as booting from a CD made from the iso.

Here is my settings file:

Code:
source ${LIVECD_ROOT}/profiles/global/settings
CD_BUILDROOT=${CD_TEMPROOT}/${CD_PROFILE}
CD_PORTAGE_PROFILE="default-x86-1.4"
CD_USE="xfs acpi4linux crypt -ipv6 -slang -X -gtk -arts -svga -directfb -ggi -esd -nas -perl -python"

And I'm using N=10000 (and count=10000 in the line above) in initrd_create.

OK, I reduced the initrd size to 5000, which was enough, and it worked. I think the problem was that the kernel config only allowed for an 8M ram disk. Doh!

Now, on to the next problem:

Code:
insmod: init_module: cloop: invalid argument
mount: Mounting /dev/cloop on /newroot/mnt/cloop failed: No such device or address

.. and that one was fixed by reducing the max block size to 65336 as suggested by Filo_kg above.

Yeah.. I had the same problem, after having to:
1) install ccache ebuild
2) install cdrtools ebuild (for mkisofs)
3) modify livecd-ng:
a) change size of initrd from "3000" to "8000"
because there wasn't enough space for devices
b) increase LOOP_SIZE to 300 Mb
so the cd would also fit all the stage<n> tarballs

I'm mainly trying to create my own LiveCD
cause the gentoo 1.4 LiveCD fails to load the aacraid.o module,
which I need to install gentoo on my SATA drive
plugged into my Adaptec RAID 2410SA controller.
I saw something on the forums about gentoo 2.6 LiveCD working
for a Dell SATA.. should I just use that ?

Thx,

Rory

---- Switching to tmpfs root filesystem
exec: chroot: No such file or directory
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!


I also have a couple questions. Would I be able to have the keymap select eliminated. I would like the CD to boot to a linux system without any interaction. Is this possible? Secondly, can I have custom scripts run on bootup?


ixion, you will need to recompile your kernel with the following...
Code:
make menuconfig --> Cryptographic Options

Enable "Cryptographic API" and then enable "Deflate Compression algorithm"...

make dep && make bzImage ... ... ...


That should resolve the unresolved symbols.

I would like to add a custom grub config file (or lilo if need be) so I can have a bootsplash (VGA=xxx). I can't find the config file anywhere in the script. Is there some way to set this?

Where can I get the latest version of the fb-livecd package? The livecd.lockedbox.net site doesn't seem to exist and portage only has livecd-ng ver 1.0.

Thanks!

Meee tooo? :)

Seriously, I've just got myself a 512Mb Verbatim Stick so that I could do exactly this and happened upon this thread, and now the tools is either old (portage) or working (who knows where?).

Link to a current site or update to portage would be nice :)

Or if someone is sitting on a fairly up to date versio of it, and th ebuild, can someone post a link so we can go over it at try to get it maintained? I believe it is GPL from what I've seen, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to do.
