Hello list, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Has anyone managed to install a customised (or even standard) SysRescCd |
| 4 |
image onto a USB stick so that it will boot in UEFI mode? I wanted to use |
| 5 |
the following partition layout: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
(parted) print |
| 8 |
Model: SanDisk Ultra Fit (scsi) |
| 9 |
Disk /dev/sda: 59232MiB |
| 10 |
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B |
| 11 |
Partition Table: gpt |
| 12 |
Disk Flags: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags |
| 15 |
1 1.00MiB 128MiB 127MiB BOOTLDR bios_grub |
| 16 |
2 128MiB 2048MiB 1920MiB fat32 boot boot, esp |
| 17 |
3 2048MiB 4096MiB 2048MiB linux-swap(v1) SWAP |
| 18 |
4 4096MiB 16384MiB 12288MiB ext2 sysrescue |
| 19 |
5 16384MiB 24576MiB 8192MiB ext2 home |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I followed the procedures at https://www.system-rescue-cd.org and thought I |
| 22 |
was getting on all right until it came to re-creating the squashfs with |
| 23 |
/usr/sbin/sysresccd-custom squashfs |
| 24 |
Then I got huge numbers of input-output read errors. So I tried it with |
| 25 |
2>/dev/null; it got up to 10% completion and a couple of hundred megabytes |
| 26 |
in sysrccd.dat, then sat in a loop for ever whirling its little spinner. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I thought I'd ask here before trying the forum because of the density of |
| 29 |
experts here. ;-) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Omitting the customisation and just copying all the files into place on |
| 32 |
/dev/sda4 (root, ext4 with no journal) and /dev/sda2 (boot, vfat) but |
| 33 |
although the "BIOS" saw it was there, when I tried to run it I was dumped to |
| 34 |
a grub shell. I don't know grub well so I couldn't proceed. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll be grateful. Ta. |
