k, We (me and the build) are at failure again. Much further in the process though. Still don't know how to make it log, but what is on the console is P: Begin executing hacks... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-2-686 cryptsetup: WARNING: could not determine root device form /etc/fstab P: Begin unmounting filesystem..... # The process has done; localization packages, chroot local patches, local hooks, executing hooks. The next P: is listed above. I looked at /home/user/work-dir/chroot/etc/fstab and it contains # UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM no wonder it can't find root device. Part of the reason for my endevors is to learn more about how a live-system works. If that means some reinventing, well... Having watched the process it seams that in the way I have it setup it is executing the steps out of order somehow. Is the order of the lh_config - options on the command line important to the order of execution during the build process? -- If it ain't broke tweek it -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
