hey, i've got alpha cds building. some of the differences in alpha cd creation caused me to decide to redesign mkbootmedia and the associated libs - i think i've got a template, but i still need to spend sometime re-implementing things.
here's my notes on building alpha boot cds (srm), if you're interested in trying it: - the config we started with is missing a few things - static cramfs & devfs support - you should use the latest patches/linux.alpha.config in cvs. - initrd.img should not be gzipped for alpha - this change is in cvs head too - the contents of the directory used to generate the iso should look like this: /home/dannf/alphacd/ /home/dannf/alphacd/boot /home/dannf/alphacd/boot/initrd.img /home/dannf/alphacd/boot/kernel /home/dannf/alphacd/boot/bootlx /home/dannf/alphacd/etc /home/dannf/alphacd/etc/aboot.conf where bootlx is from the aboot package (installed in /boot on debian) aboot.conf should look like this: $ cat /home/dannf/alphacd/etc/aboot.conf 0:boot/kernel root=/dev/ram initrd=boot/initrd.img you can generate an iso using a command like this: $mkisofs -J -r -T -v -pad -o /tmp/si-alpha.iso /home/dannf/alphacd Then make it srm bootable by running $ /sbin/isomarkboot /tmp/testcd.iso boot/bootlx note that the boot/bootlx argument is relative to the iso root. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Sisuite-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-devel
