I made an ISO using mkisofs with *unmodified* source files from a known working livecd ISO image. When I boot the ISO, after waiting 60 seconds, I get the following message, and then it drops to a emergency bash shell:
WARNING: Cannot find root file system! I assume this is a problem with my mkisofs options, or perhaps the way I copy the files from the mounted ISO. Here's what I did: 1 - Started with a good bootable livecd ISO. 2 - Mounted ISO and copied all files 3 - Without modifying any files, I rebuilt using following mkisofs command mkisofs -o image/cloned-livecd-i386.iso \ -v \ -R -J -T \ -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \ -c isolinux/boot.cat \ -no-emul-boot \ -boot-load-size 4 \ -boot-info-table \ unmodified-iso-files/. My eventual goal is to debug why an ISO made using livecd-creator cannot boot with a modified /isolinux/initrd.img containing the /lib/modules/ from an updated kernel. To simplify the problem, I am trying to recreate an ISO from the source of a known good livecd ISO. Any tips or suggestions are much appreciated.
