Another problem Remastering
« on: September 22, 2010, 06:02:21 AM »
I Have Pclos installed in /dev/sda7 of my laptop and it works great. I made this installations from a livecd a few months ago and update it to the software available at that time. Also remaster it and burned the image which i used to install another computer without problems.
Yesterday i update Pclos and more than 200 packages where updated. It still works ok on the pc and i can remaster it. But the livecd will boot and stops booting at the point it ask to choose a language. The mouse and the keyboard stop working at that point. Same thing happends if i boot a pc from this livecd as if i trie the iso to boot on vmplayer.
I case it is a problem with new kernell, i installed the oldest kernell i found on repositories as a second kernell, boot from it and remater. Same results.
My installation is 5,5gb large and the partition is 17gb so there is enought free space. Everything is installed in that partition. (no separate partition for home, boot etc).
Any idea?

Just reinstalled the old livecd i had made a few months ago, make some customerization on the user desktop and remaster again. This remaster has no problem installing. The next step was updating Pclos. It took more than 4 hours to update. Rebooted, and remastered. Again, the iso boots but stops when it ask to "choose language". The Keyboard and mouse does not work.
Is something wrong with the updates?

Did you try any of the alternative boot options, and do you get the same result from those?

Just tried and the iso boot with the "CONSOLE" option and accept user and password. If type STARTX it goes to graphical but the mouse nad the keyboard does not work. I did it as user and as root with same results.
Any other boot option shown the "choose language" screen and no keyboard and mouse.

I cannot duplicate the problem here :) .....  did two remasters in past few days ....  tested both on a LiveUSB and both functioned.  They were 2.3GB in size.

My install is fully updated ....  I do it daily.

regards.

I'm not an expert by far on remastering but I would check the upgrades for a few weeks
before remastering again.  Be sure all your files (language files) are solid.  Are you reinstalling
from a DVD or flash drive ?
