Custom live dvd: troubles
Hello
I am working in a custom live dvd that contains some live cd distros. I have two distros that not boot. The linux distros that i choose for these live dvd are: Knoppix 5.1 live cd -- ok Fedora 9 live cd (gnome based) -- ok OpenSUSE 11 with KDE 4.1 -- ok Mandriva ONE KDE -- donīt boot Kubuntu Hardy -- donīt boot This is the structure of directories inside the live dvd: boot/ -- here are the global menu.lst, in the root the mandriva kernel, in the directories the kernels and initrd of the other distros distros boot/grub -- grub menu.lst configs files only boot/grub/mandriva -- only menu.lst boot/grub/ubuntu -- menu.lst, kernel and initrd boot/grub/suse -- menu.lst, kernel and initrd boot/grub/knoppix -- menu.lst, kernel and initrd boot/grub/fedora -- menu.lst, kernel and initrd.gz boot/cdrom -- directory for mandriva initrd casper/ -- here the loopback image for kubuntu, the kernel and initrd config.isoclient* -- this archive is for the kiwi system of Fedora isolinux/ -- this isolinux directory is from the mandriva live cd, also i reuse it for tryng boot the dvd using this isolinux :P KDE-Four-Live-read-only.i686-1.1.0* -- loopback image of SUSE 11 KNOPPIX/ -- for the knoppix image LiveOS/ -- for the Fedora image loopbacks/ -- for the mandriva image preseed/ -- ubuntu files... i donīt know for what :P ubuntu@ -- link from ubuntu The metod that i choose for boot the live dvd is using grub with a structured menu.lst to choose the distro. In these menu.lst i translate the isolinux.cfg setups of each livecd. After i try with isolinux and these is the isolinux.cfg: default Mandriva One KDE prompt 1 timeout 40 gfxboot /boot/syslinux/bootlogo label Mandriva One KDE kernel /boot/vmlinuz append initrd=/boot/cdrom/initrd.gz splash=silent vga=788 label SUSE 11 KDE 4.1 kernel /boot/suse/linux append initrd=/boot/suse/initrd ramdisk_size=512000 ramdisk_blocksize=4096 splash=silent label Fedora 9 kernel /boot/grub/fedora/vmlinuz0 append initrd=/boot/grub/fedora/initrd0.img rhgb root=CDLABEL=SFD rootfstype=iso9660 ro quiet liveimg label Knoppix 5.1 kernel /boot/grub/knoppix/linux append initrd=/boot/grub/knoppix/minirt.gz ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=es apm=power-off vga=791 nomce splash BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix label Kubuntu Hardy kernel /casper/vmlinuz append initrd=/casper/initrd.gz boot=casper bootkbd=es quiet splash Then i generate the iso image with this command: genisoimage -V SFD -J -R -D -o sfd.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.catalog -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table But Mandriva and Kubuntu donīt find the image of the filesystem. I test the iso image with Virtual Box in my Mandriva 2008.1 Can you help me? In this image is the error for Mandriva: http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/7...allazo1sw7.png See more caps in my blog: http://israerublog.blogcindario.com/...x-parte-1.html Greetings PD: This custom live cd is my contribution for the Software Freedom Day event in Nicaragua n_n |
Please have a look at these examples :
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ight=multiboot http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ight=multiboot Also ... suggest : Bye one or more issues of "Linux Format". They often have multiboot DVD's with 2..5 distros included. Then you will see very clearly, how it can be done. Good Luck ! |
