Hi, Chris Bainbridge: I still can't create a partition, which was the original aim. Is it supposed to work? I succeeded with gdisk on my oldstable test machine (help texts and clueless actions of mine not shown): -- $ dd

Hi, the GPT header CRC of http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso looks ok now for me and for gdisk of oldstable (which formerly complained about amd64 ISOs). Now it says: GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.1 Partition

2014-04-09 Thread Thomas Schmitt
Hi, my newest bug about gdisk hating an ISO with GPT and MBR is not affecting debian-cd. (Further it is not GRUB2 specific.) I can reproduce the user's symptoms with gdisk 0.8.1 and can work around them by explicitely disabling multi-session emulation when producing the ISO. This disabling is

Correct me if I got this wrong, but the bug in question is supposed to have existed in upstream until 1.3.4? I built several ISOs of our Ubuntu Privacy Remix live project using upstream xorriso 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 So far I have not seen any UEFI test machine which failed booting from USB drive

I am also a bit curious to know how the information regarding which versions of software were used to create the .ISO . It seems this info. is embedded in the .iso generated but there doesn't seem to be any answers. Mount the iso image, the file /.disk/mkisofs has the exact xorriso command

Mount the iso image, the file /.disk/mkisofs has the exact xorriso command line used to generate the image. Apologies for the dupe info, I now see that Thomas already posted this detail. btw the Ubuntu images have the same issue - Launchpad bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+bug/1298912

Hi, it is embarrassing to see the own bugs mummified since a full year. You should rather enjoy the fresh and juicy bugs of version 1.3.6.pl01. Funnily nobody complains that the wrong GPT header checksum would prevent booting from USB stick via EFI. Doesn't (U)EFI check ? Do all tested machines

Bug#740504: Any update on having an upgraded xorriso so we don't have GPT failures ?

2014-03-07 Thread Thomas Schmitt
Hi, because debian-cd also records the arguments of its xorriso run, it should be not too hard to repack it with a newer xorriso, which produces better GPT. E.g. xorriso-1.3.2 from Debian Sid. You will need to copy the MBR from the original ISO dd if=debian-7.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso bs=512

Package: cdimage.debian.org Severity: important Dear Maintainer, The GPT checksum of debian-7.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso (and other wheezy and testing images) is incorrect due to a bug in the Xorriso build tool used on the build system (confirmed by author of build tool). Reported on mailing list but
