Package: live-initramfs
Version: 1.110.7-1
Severity: normal
Following generation of a debian-live system with live-helper, following
the instructions at
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Howto/Creating_a_Netboot_Image
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Howto/Creating_a_Test_environment
we have set up a server with working
- DHCP (dhcp3-server, including necessary bootp/PXE bits)
- TFTP (tftpd-hpa)
- NFS (nfs-kernel-server)
The DHCP server is working correctly. The clients are requesting the
correct files from the TFTP server, and the pxelinux boot menu appears.
pxelinux is getting the correct vmlinuz and initrd images, and
successfully booting the kernel. However, once the root filesystem is
mounted, the scripts fail to mount filesystems and copy files within
either the real root filesystem or the union overlay (I'm not sure
which). This results in failure to complete startup because /sbin/init
can't be found.
The complete log is shown below, with errors appearing as early as
line 13. Using the busybox initramfs shell, the NFS root was mounted on
/root/live/image, with /live/image being completely empty (no mounts on
it). The /scripts/live script has hardcoded mount/umount commands
referring to /root, e.g. /root/sys, but the commands fail because there
is no filesystem mounted at this location.
We tried fixing up the script to see if the problem was easily fixable,
but could not find where the lh_ commands source the scipts/live script
from. Modifying the copy under /usr/share/initramfs... did not seem to
work (either on the host system or in chroot/).
If you have any suggestions of what might be wrong here, or would like
and assistance doing any testing, please let us know.
Thanks,
Roger

Further investigation showed that the chroot directory was being
exported from the server instead of the binary directory. Once
this had been fixed, the initramfs correctly mounted it and then
mounted the squashfs. As a result, I'll close the bug.
We did, however, see some inconsistency in whether the binary image
would successfully unpack the squashfs (system hung following
mounting the NFS mount). We will file a new bug for this once we
know which option combinations cause this.
Another minor issue was the --net-root-filesystem filesystem option.
Both the manual page and the program help text show nfs|cfs as valid
options; is "cifs" intended here, rather than "cfs"?
We will file other bugs if we run into any further problems.
Thanks and sorry for the incorrect bug,
Roger
