From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041002 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: mklivecd line 106: should read "echo ..." not "ech" mklivecd line 107: I had to modify this line to copy the boot/initrd-$kernel.img file rather than boot/isolinux/initrd.img - not certain if that was correct or not, but I do not have the initrd.img file in the isolinux directory. Further, and not certain if this belongs here, but once the script has finished running, I burn the ISO and get the following message on boot of the Live CD: Creating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none Switching to new root switchroot: mount failed: 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! I followed the directions for creating the live CD from the Stateless-Linux docs on the Fedora web site. I don't believe I have missed and steps (although I did skip the LDAP changes because I don't intend on using it). I did see another similar problem reported on LinuxQuestions.org that seemed to report similar problems in a different situation that may be of assistance in tracking the issue: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/246733 If you require I would be happy to provide you with any additional information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): readonly-root-0.10-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Follow Stateless-Linux instructions using FC3test3 for install of readonly-root 2. Open /usr/share/readonly-root/mklivecd, fix line 106 and 107 as listed above 3. Continue with the Stateless-Linux instructions to create a LiveCD (in short, create a new lv partition on your server, rsync the entire filesystem for the system you wish to make into a live cd - in my case this was a FC3test3 Minimal install, modify fstab in the copy and remove the swap line) 4. After you run the mklivecd command, burn the CD and reboot with the newly created live CD. 5. The boot process should stop with the errors described above. Actual Results: On boot you get the following: Creating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none Switching to new root switchroot: mount failed: 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Expected Results: An actual booted Live CD. Additional info:
please change the component!
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
The Stateless Linux readonly-root package never really had its own component, did it? Anyway, it's changed quite a bit since FC3. Check out the documentation here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StatelessLinux if you're still interesting. I'm closing this bug, though, since StatelessLinux has changed so much since this was filed.
