Remaster warning

Unread post by machinebacon » Thu Feb 20, 2014 4:58 pm

This is only for those who want to remix an existing BBQ spin, for example the Spring series.

If you decided to go with a rolling kernel model, all towo kernels >3.13 will fail to boot the live session due to a (wrongly assumed) missing hwdb.ini file.

Symptoms: the remaster build perfectly fine, but it boots into an endlessly respawning error message and things go pear-shaped.

Fix: use the vanilla Debian kernels, preferably linux-image-3.13-trunk or linux-image-486/686pae/amd64 and completely remove all traces of systemd (sudo purge systemd && sudo orphaner --purge)

Note: make sure that you re-install live-boot and live-boot-initramfs before you run the snapshot tool. Also check that /vmlinuz and /initrd.img in the root are softlinks to the actual initrd and vmlinuz files.

I'm thinking of updating Bakewell . . . Is this still relevant? What was the cause of the issue? Kernel or systemD or something else?

It is still valid as that 'unholding' the bespoke packages should be performed. The recent amd64 kernels work fine with the new syslinux/live-config packages.
