Hi All,

I am trying to use linux-live scripts (http://www.linux-live.org/) with debian. However, when I use the ISO to boot, I am getting kernel panic error.

On search, I could find that i need to recompile my kernel with aufs, squashfs + lzma modules. However, I couldnt find much link for this. If some one guide me to some particular links or the steps to be followed, that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

hi

I am not sure what your intentions are...may be you could explain some more...depending on my links?

1) no need for compression if you build the iso onto a dvd...size 4.3G should be ample?

2) Assuming you want to make a live cd/dvd of your system you may wish to consider this

3) If that is your intention...could you state your current total data size pls?

It may be possible to make live cd of your system in other ways

Hey aus9,

Thanks for the quick reply.

My Aim - to create a bootable ISO of my debian installed on my HDD.

Right now the size is around 600 MB, but it may shoot up as I am planning to add more tools. Basically trying to create my own collection of tools and customize as a distro.

I have worked with linux-live and remastersys, but not much with live-helper. Hope this answers your question.

hi

My way requires you to install grub2. which may not suit you? but I will explain the theory....http://sidux.com/index.php?module=Wikula&tag=Grub2slit

Pretending you have some free space on a spare or real partition...create the folder to hold copies of your existing structure...I will call it build/
under build goes all folders for your real system....instead of sub-folders to build/boot....eg build/boot...build/dev etc

I would cut out /usr/share/doc

/boot/grub/grub.cfg will need some modification as described....but your kernel may be already suitable with the initrd to be bootable as is?

genisoimage does not care if its not bootable...it will generate a iso...which you test in a virtual machine.

what will catch you out....is a compiled kernel away from the stock standard...that for example has compiled n against iso9660.

BTW I have not done this myself...but the thought did cross my mind
