I built an lfs system from 6.1.1-4 and, although I'm thrilled to bits, I found the environment for working a bit spartan. I want to build another system to fix things a bit better in my mind and found a hint, livecd-remastering-howto, that explains how to remaster a livecd after adding to the original. I followed the instructions but the CD created would not boot. Now I am wondering if the hint no longer applies to current lfs versions.
When using mkisofs as part of the procedure to be followed, I used a volume ID (with -V) different from the one in the 6.1.1-4 livecd. In trying to boot, it said I did not have the correct CD, flashed some messages past me and the machine was switched off. I've found something that looks like the messages that whizzed by in the file /boot/isolinux/initramfs_data_cpio.gz on the CD and also the volume ID of the original livecd there as well. This makes me think that I have the wrong initramfs file. The hint was for the livecd in the subject and I'm wondering if that livecd didn't have an initramfs file since there's nothing in the hint about such a file. Does anyone know if it did? Has anyone used the hint to create a livecd for an lfs system that uses an initramfs file?
