Bug Description
I'm trying to use live-build 3.0~a24-1ubuntu17 on an updated install of Oneiric/i386.
The first example in the official documentation - <http://
mkdir tutorial1 ; cd tutorial1 ; lb config
lb build
When I do this, I end up with what appears to be a working binary-hybrid.iso. When I boot it, it shows the Debian Live splash screen, and prompts me to enter "live" or "memtest" to run the livecd or memtest86+ respectively. Running "memtest" works, but if I type "live", it seems to do absolutely nothing. The splash screen does stay visible and I can still type in memtest or interact with isolinux, but it doesn't (visibly) try to load the kernel or initrd or boot at all.
I note that, in the tutorial1 directory, the file binary/
default live
label live
menu label ^Live
menu default
kernel /live/vmlinuz
append initrd=
However, the binary/live/ directory doesn't contain a "vmlinuz" or "initrd.img". It does contain:
initrd.
initrd.
vmlinuz-
vmlinuz-
Now, that's me matching the official *Debian* documentation with the *Ubuntu* package, so maybe there's another step that needs to be done since I'm running inside Ubuntu? If I missed that, please let me know.
I also wondered if the problem was that it generated two initrd images and two kernels. I tried to test for this: I modified the the auto/config file which 'lh' created so that it contained these lines:
--architectures i386 \
--linux-
When I re-ran "lb build", it only created one initrd and one vmlinuz: "initrd.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Did you use the livecd-rootfs auto scripts?
