Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bootcd
The bootcd package is used to make a bootable CD out of a currently
running Debian-based system. I had set up a customized system that I
wished to run on several computers (an Internet kiosk system), and the
bootcd package is exactly what I need. However, in Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft,
the software does not work.
Steps to reproduce:
bootcdmkinitrd (remakes initrd to find the boot CD upon startup)
bootcdwrite (creates the image file [iso])
cdrecord --dev=*,*,* /var/spool/bootcd/cdimage.iso --driveropts=burnfree (*,*,*
replaced by result obtained by running cdrecord --scanbus)
The CD created will start booting, but will freeze near the end. The
last few lines displayed are (usually):
lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
IPv6: over IPv4 tunneling driver
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt driven)
To verify this was not due to my modifications, I tried running the
software from a fresh install. i.e., I installed a command-line system
from the Alternate disc, ran apt-get bootcd bootcd-mkinitrd cdrecord,
and then followed the three steps outlined above.
To verify this was not due to system incompatibilities or hardware-
related, I attempted the above command-line test on three separate
computers.
I believe the error is due to the new init system in Edgy Eft, upstart.
This is because the system does not appear to run any of the runlevel
scripts in the /etc/rcS.d/ directory. (i.e., I do not see any of the
status messages such as:
"Scanning file system [Done]", etc., as with a normal boot.
Only lines with the timestamp (I think it's the timestamp, anyways--
lines like [10055512.241994] Doing such and such...) are shown, and not
the several messages of the "Doing such and such [Done]" format
which usually appear near the end of the boot process.
