I'm trying to make a live-cd based in gentoo, but I always get the error |
| 2 |
message while booting the cd: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
---Mounting compressed loopback filesystem |
| 5 |
Using /modules/cloop.o |
| 6 |
mount: Mounting /dev/cloop on /newroot/mnt/cloop failed:Invalid argument |

| 12 |
---Switching to tmpfs root filesystem |
| 13 |
exec: chroot: no such file or directory |
| 14 |
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Those are the steps I follow to make the live-cd: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
1.- I install a gentoo distro in a partition (in my case /dev/hdb5) |
| 19 |
merging the system and so on, from my distro (a gentoo 1.4-rc3). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
2.- I use mkisofs to make the iso from my new system partition, like |
| 22 |
that: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
mkisofs -R -L -allow-multidot -l -o /mnt/iso/livecd.iso -v /genesis/ |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
(where /genesis is the mount point of the new distro partition |
| 27 |
/dev/hdb5). |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
3.- Next I compress it using cloop-0.68 (I have also proved with other |
| 30 |
0.x and 1.x versions as well): |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
./create_compressed_fs /mnt/iso/livecd.iso 65536 > |
| 33 |
/mnt/master/livecd.cloop |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
(/mnt/master is the directory of the final cd image). |
| 36 |
I have also tried with 32768 instead of 65536. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
4.- The I use the /isolinux directory of the Gentoo live-cd 1.4_RC4 |
| 39 |
copying it to the /mnt/master directory with the livecd.cloop and make |
| 40 |
the final iso of the live-cd: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
mkisofs -l -r -J -V "livecd" -hide-rr-moved -v -b isolinux/isolinux.bin |
| 43 |
-c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o |
| 44 |
/mnt/iso/livecd.iso /mnt/master/ |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
5.- Then I burn that iso onto a cd: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
cdrecord -v speed=16 driveropts=burnfree dev=1,0 /mnt/iso/livecd.iso |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
And when I boot from that cd I get the error message I put on the top. |

Anybody knows what I'm doing wrong? |
| 53 |
Thanks, and sorry if this mail is so long. |
