mylivecd- fatal kernel error
« on: April 12, 2010, 08:56:35 PM »
Firstly, apologies, i feel like an intruder posting in this section.

I ran "mylivecd" under PClos Main Beta2 and used the "--nodir=^/home" appellation.

It ran with some errors about time stamps (which i assume is to do with changing the location), and the following fatal error;
"FATAL: The kernel '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.10-pclos2.bfs' does not exist on your machine"

My machine now has a separate boot partition, presumably this has something to do with the error.
On trying to check the script is see that uname-r is used as the identifyer, but this returns the correct kernel from manual consul input.
I did find other scripts identified by the dolphin "find" comand as mylivecd, not sure which is the prime mover.

The idea behind the boot partition was to remove the constant problems associated with installs/moves/re-installs, and trying to remember where i put the boot loader each time.
If there is a better solution please shout, so far, it seems to be meeting that requirement.

Check your / partition and see if it has an empty /boot folder since you have it on another partition maybe?

Thanks to everyone who donates. You keep the servers running.

This does show as empty when viewed immediately after using mylivecd.
This is what is confusing me, i assumed that, as mylivecd runs under root privileges it would pick up the true /boot partition.

After leaving the consul, the boot partition shows (In Dolphin) as normal, either logged in as user or root.

Fstab shows
