Re: [Mactel-linux-devel] fixing live cd

[Erik O. <er...@pl...>]

OK, I am obviously incompetent, but...

I haven't had any luck getting the LiveCD to work. It starts to boot,
but it looks like something with squashfs isn't working; then /newroot
doesn't exist, and all the devfs stuff after that bombs and I get a
kernel panic.

I am using 2.6.16-rc6 here, and from what I can tell the kernel
doesn't seem to know about squashfs. I can't find that symbol in the
config anywhere or as a kernel option, even though it is present in
the config you sent me.

Is there a patch to enable squashfs support?

Better yet, if someone who is good at building Live CDs could build
one that would be great. I can get the new kernel into
/efi/elilo/bzImage, and change the elilo.conf. I understand pretty
well how the initrd works (and can get the new kernel's modules into
it OK) and I can read the linuxrc, but I have no experience with
anything past that, which is where things are failing.

Sorry for the complaining; it's just a frustrating process.
