What patches were you thinking are needed for a live CD? |
| 10 |
I would expect that either a vanilla or gentoo kernel would handle |
| 11 |
being on a live CD without problems. |
| 12 |
What is giving you trouble that you are aiming for 4.8-rc6, I have not |
| 13 |
seen many problems. Though the most recent gentoo live CD will hang |
| 14 |
one of my machines due to radeon driver in the 3.14.14 kernel not accessing |
| 15 |
I/O correctly ( it did not use the access functions just dereferenced a pointer). |
| 16 |
The only other quirk I remember off the top of my head is the 2nd required |
| 17 |
initramfs that the netboot kernel target needs, but even that works with a empty file. |

Are you following some set of instructions on building stages and a live CD? |
