hi all

i was looking for a way to custom ubuntu iso with a specific kernel version

i have put all kernel deb to pool/extra. but i don't know how to tell installer to install a specific kernel version.

i search google for relative document , most of them are talking to preseed file

i notice there is a strinq about the kernel in the *.seed file, it looks like:
it said "Use server kernel", i dont quite understand what is really mean , how can it locale server kernel package , which version will it use . is "string linux-server" a format writing ?

any one can guide me a way ?

any reply for this thread

Try to edit your posts instead of posting a new post. LQ uses a zero reply system to keep posts more viable.

I'd assume that the most easy way would be to simply have the version of the three kernel .deb files you'd want after first boot.

Fooling with a respin with some program may work. Fedora has one, not sure about ubuntu. https://www.linux.com/learn/roll-you...zed-ubuntu-uck

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization has what I think should work as a general way. You basically remaster the iso.


Not sure what would happen if you went in and just changed the kernel files in the iso even if you had to rename the files to the ones expected. They may use a checksum but not sure.

Others may know.

do you think it is possible that tell debian-installer to install the explicit kernel version in the base-system installing stage ?

Possibly, using the pre-seed but how is it named exactly?
I went down this road. For a minute.
Guidance? I still haven't figured it out.
I suppose some resources I collected would be appreciated here.

the Debian Handbook is a package also.

File Open in your browser of choice, nav to /usr/share/doc/debian-handbook/html/index.html
Chapter 12.3.2 discusses the methods and techniques of pre-seeding.

Have Fun!

Try this for test.

Hi gbcbooks,

Perhaps you missed all of the references provided earlier here. I do see that user "!!!" has also offered an additional reference.

Perhaps it is time for you to peruse these references before asking how to do something which is discussed in those links.

A couple comments.

@gbcbooks, you posted this thread and then bumped it within 7 hours (and during what is the night time for many LQ members). Please refrain from this moving forward. Additionally, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Li...Live_CD_Kernel seems to directly address your issue and was mentioned, but you don't seem to be following up on the information posted.

@Habitual, you've been a member long enough to know that posts such as #8 aren't acceptable here at LQ.
