Package: debian-cd Version: 3.1.20 Severity: normal Tags: patch * What led up to the situation?
Trying to build a debian install cd with a backported kernel, see https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2018/02/msg01364.html * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? When using simple-cdd and having a prfile named blahblahblahkernel or something similar it generate isolinux files sucs as label install menu label ^Install kernel /install.amd/vmlinuz append preseed/file=/cdrom/simple-cdd/default.preseed simple- cdd/profiles=stretch-bpokernel vga=788 initrd=/install.amd/initrd.gz --- quiet parse_isolinux and the offending regex near the bottom (https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/debian- cd/blob/master/tools/boot/stretch/parse_isolinux#L237) end up targeting "kernel vga=788 initrd=/install.amd/initrd.gz --- quiet" instead of "kernel /install.amd/vmlinuz" * What was the outcome of this action? You end up with broken grub.conf entries that look like: menuentry --hotkey=i 'Install' { set background_color=black linux vga=788 initrd=/install.amd/initrd.gz --- quiet initrd } Here's my patch that fixes it: diff --git a/tools/boot/stretch/parse_isolinux b/tools/boot/stretch/parse_isolinux index a15e52d..a8b057b 100755 --- a/tools/boot/stretch/parse_isolinux +++ b/tools/boot/stretch/parse_isolinux @@ -234,8 +234,8 @@ foreach my $line(@lines) { $menu{"label"} = $1; } elsif ($line =~ /menu default/ && $in_kernel) { $kernel{"default"} = 1; - } elsif ($line =~ /kernel (.*)$/ && $in_kernel) { - $kernel{"kernel"} = $1; + } elsif ($line =~ /^(\s+)?kernel(.*)/ && $in_kernel) { + $kernel{"kernel"} = $2; } elsif ($line =~ /append (.*)$/ && $in_kernel) { $kernel{"append"} = $1; } else { -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages debian-cd depends on: ii apt 1.4.8 ii bc 1.06.95-9+b3 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii cpp 4:6.3.0-4 ii curl 7.52.1-5+deb9u4 ii dctrl-tools [grep-dctrl] 2.24-2+b1 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.24 ii genisoimage 9:1.1.11-3+b2 pn libcompress-zlib-perl <none> pn libdigest-md5-perl <none> ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.24 ii libperl5.24 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.24.1-3+deb9u2 ii lynx 2.8.9dev11-1 ii lynx-cur 2.8.9dev11-1 ii make 4.1-9.1 ii perl 5.24.1-3+deb9u2 ii tofrodos 1.7.13+ds-2 ii xorriso 1.4.6-1+b1 Versions of packages debian-cd recommends: ii dosfstools 4.1-1 ii hfsutils 3.2.6-13+b1 ii isolinux 3:6.03+dfsg-14.1+deb9u1 ii mtools 4.0.18-2+b1 ii netpbm 2:10.0-15.3+b2 ii syslinux-common 3:6.03+dfsg-14.1+deb9u1 ii syslinux-utils 3:6.03+dfsg-14.1+deb9u1 ii wget 1.18-5+deb9u1 debian-cd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- debsums errors found: debsums: changed file /usr/share/debian-cd/tools/boot/stretch/parse_isolinux (from debian-cd package)
