The cd image that comes out of that works, as in, it boots and starts executing the scripts. I believe I can modify things to do what we need. I also tried using the livecd-iso-to-pxe script to convert the iso into a pxe boot kernel/initrd and pxelinux config file. That also worked as far as I could tell booting an actual machine using the generated /tftpboot tree (it generates a kernel, initrd, and pxelinux config file) However, I tried booting the kernel and initrd with qemu using its -kernel and -initrd options, and it wouldn't work. I'd like to get this to work if possible so I can rapidly try new images without booting up actual hardware. It's actually not that big of a deal because qemu boots the iso just fine. I'm just curious why it wouldn't boot the kernel/initrd directly. The command line looks like this: > qemu -m 256 -hda ~/disk.qcow2 -kernel vmlinuz0 -initrd initrd0.img -append > "root=/koan-live-cd.iso rootfstype=iso9660 rootflags=loop" It errors with a kernel panic being unable to mount the root filesystem. The append line was copied from the generated pxe config from the livecd-iso-to-pxe script. /koan-live-cd.iso is a file in the initrd. Anyways, if that's a dead end, I won't worry about it. I'm going to try and modify the koan live cd to be a cloner live cd. I'm first going to get it working with dd, since partimage isn't in the repos and I'll have to build it myself. -Andrew On Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 2:58 PM, Michael DeHaan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Andrew Brown wrote: > > So I've started looking at the script that builds a koan live cd (the > > 'live' directory in the koan source) to modify it to do what we need, > > but I'm having trouble getting the code to produce a bootable iso. > > > > I'm just trying to run the build.py script as is, and it produces a > > koan-live-cd.iso.
