OK, so I've made a nasty hack change to my casper script, and that seems to solve the race condition problem. It just loops finding the casper- rw device 5 times, waiting 5 seconds before each try, before it gives up. It only does this if PERSISTENT is set.
This has fixed the problem for me, but I think it's a nasty solution. I guess it would work better if I built a custom kernel for the Live CD which has usb-storage statically compiled in rather than as a module. ** Attachment added: "Makes casper wait for USB storage devices to be detected for up to 25 seconds before giving up" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18764945/casper.diff.txt -- [hardy] livecd: keyword "persistent" results in busybox and (initramfs) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219192 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
