Hi, I read through some of the archives that google found, but I didn't see an answer to this particular issue -- most of the articles dealt with issues under qemu and preexisting live cds. I should mention that most of this stuff is very new to me, so I might have missed it.
During the boot process from a livecd I built from live-helper, I get pushed into BusyBox with the error "/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off". Then I'm in a prompt that says (initramfs). I've tried a few different pcs and configurations and they all get the same results. I've tried running isos on VM Ware as well as burning them to cds. One thing they all share in common, apart from giving me this prompt, is that they all give an "I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0". One machine gave multiple I/O errors about the floppy disk even though it only has one floppy drive. tty gets me /dev/console. I did read something about adding "modprobe ide-generic" before the live-initramfs boot script fixing the issue with qemu. Is it possible to add this to my live-helper build? This may be unrelated, but I logged the build process (looking for any potential issues) and one thing I noticed is that it couldn't find a package named "unionfs-modules-2.6-486". I looked in packages.debian.org and couldn't find it there either. Am I missing a repository for it or need to perform a manual update of some kind? I did manually make the changes to defaults.sh that happened yesterday, but apart from that, I just pulled the package from testing. My machine performing the builds is running on etch. I'm essentially running: lh_config -p xfce -d lenny -a i386 -sections "main contrib non-free" --apt-recommends disabled --syslinux-timeout 1 lh_build I also add some packages for games, the fglrx-driver package, and an video driver hook that should run when the system boots (if it ever gets that far).
