Hi all I have some hardware that is not supported by lenny. Therefore I want to build a squeeze image with live-helper. Unfortunately, this fails. Here is what I did:
------------------ $ cat config/chroot_apt/preferences Package: squashfs-tools Pin: version 1:3.3* Pin-Priority: 999 $ cat config/chroot_sources/debian-lenny.chroot deb http://localhost/debian/ lenny main deb-src http://localhost/debian/ lenny main $ lh_config \ --apt-recommends disabled \ --binary-images iso \ --categories "main contrib non-free" \ --distribution squeeze \ --mirror-binary http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ \ --mirror-bootstrap http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ \ --mirror-chroot http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ \ --packages-lists minimal $ lh_build 2>&1 | tee logfile.txt ------------------ The apt preferences and lenny sources are necessary because of http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2009/04/msg00142.html The resulting image was booting but I could not use the system because I was greeted by a login prompt instead of a shell. Can you reproduce this problem? How can I fix it? Things get worse when I try building a squeeze image with a little bit more than the minimal package list, e.g. when I use --packages-lists standard-x11 \ --packages "amarok" building the image fails with the following error messages on the console: ------------------ Setting up initramfs-tools (0.93.3) ... update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) Setting up linux-image-2.6.26-2-486 (2.6.26-17) ... Running depmod. Running mkinitramfs-kpkg. Deprecation WARNING: use update-initramfs(8) cpio: ./etc/udev/rules.d/libnjb.rules: Cannot stat: No such file or directory mkinitramfs-kpkg failed to create initrd image. Failed to create initrd image. dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.26-2-486 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 9 ------------------ Again, can you reproduce this problem? How can I fix it?
