I think you are right, it is also necessary an understanding of the booting |
| 2 |
procces of a LiveCD... |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Finally I have been able to get over that error... |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The issue was in my kernel config. I had to enable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM, |
| 7 |
then i passed that error and i started getting another, something about UDF |
| 8 |
or something like that, something related to the VFS, again, a kernel issue. |
| 9 |
To the point: |
| 10 |
These are the options the kernel must have activated, I am not sure about |
| 11 |
what some of them does but it has worked for me: |
| 12 |
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y |
| 13 |
CONFIG_LBD=y |
| 14 |
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y |
| 15 |
CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Every time i want to run catalyst to build the iso again,in order to make |
| 18 |
changes take place, I must erase the iso created and all the directories |
| 19 |
related to livecd-stage2 in /var/tmp/catalyst. With this steps i have been |
| 20 |
able to make the iso bootable. |
| 21 |
Now I am testing with my linuxrc... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I hope that what has been written above helps someone to go further in this |
| 24 |
stuff |

I have been experimenting with catalyst for a couple of months now. After |
| 46 |
successfully building a LiveCD, I also encountered problems during the boot |
| 47 |
process and I was unable to determine what was ultimately causing them |
| 48 |
because |
| 49 |
I did not have a solid understanding of how catalyst worked. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
I finally decided that the only way I was going to solve the problems was to |
| 52 |
carefully study catalyst's source code until I understood exactly how it |
| 53 |
worked. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
This is my third week of studying the source code. I am finally starting to |
| 56 |
become comfortable with the code and I am ready to make another attempt at |
| 57 |
creating a LiveCD. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
My thought is that you, myself and any other catalyst newbies who may be |
| 60 |
lurking on the list should use one set of LiveCD-stage1 and LiveCD-stage2 |
| 61 |
spec |
| 62 |
files and work with them until we understand exactly how they are |
| 63 |
transformed |
| 64 |
into a .iso image that boots correctly. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
What do you think? |
