[Devil-linux-develop] Funny CD mount at boot-time problem

[John v. V. <joh...@ya...>]

Hi,

To build my own DL, I mounted the /dev/hdd fixed ISO, cp -r the cdrom to the
iso directory.  Then I successfully made an ISO image and burned it w/
cdrecord.

It boots ok, then gets the floppy configutions.

Then, when it tries mount the CD it fails.  So I added a /bin/sh after the
failing point in the cdrom_mount script to see what was up.

When I typed ps -ef, I found /bin/sh mount_cdrom /cdrom is "S" state (sleep 
??)

I then typed in the mount -t iso9660 command at the command line and it said
"resourse busy" --- but it mounted the drive !!

I tested the downloaded ISO again, and it boots ok.

Any clue ??

BTW, I downloaded the LFS packages and I am ready to build their basic system. 
I also found:

"BBLCD is the acronym for Bernhard's Bootable Linux CD. You can also read it as
Build your own Bootable Linux CD"
http://www.bablokb.de/bblcd/

Also the ISO boot scripting tool looks good, adds rescue capability.

Do you think it boots NT or Win 98 ??  (just curious, never use that stuff) 

John
