mylivecd can not find the kernel
« on: October 12, 2010, 10:47:41 PM »
I am using xfce 2010 and would like to back it up before upgrading
I have tried "mylivecd lounge.iso"  and
"mylivecd --nodir ^/root/temp,^/root/tmp,^/mnt,^/media/sdb5,^/tmp,^/proc,^/dev,^/sys,^/var/lib/drakbackup,^/media/Music-video/Data,^/var/cache/apt/archives --ufs unionfs --root / --tmp /media/Music-video/temp/ --workdir /media/Music-video/mylivecd/workdir/ --lzma --md5sum  /media/Music-video/mylivecd/iso/pclos2010-xfce_13-10-10.iso"

and I get the same error

FATAL: The kernel '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33.4-pclos1.bfs' does not exist on your machine.

when checking with uname -r and in the boot folder I find the file

any ideas would be appreciated

Edited

I solved it by noticing a similar problem in the forum by jankers

note umount -a will also unmount all boot partition except / and home
For some reason thunar could still see   the boot partition when in user mode however I found later that it could not see it in su mode ??
So after using umount -a I used the partition manager to mount the boot partition.
The next problem I found was it could not write to the partition to make an iso, which I thought was odd since I started the process as a su.
So I changed the permission of the partition to user instead of root.

I used this to make the iso (this one worked)
"mylivecd --nodir ^/root/temp,^/root/tmp,^/mnt,^/media/sdb5,^/tmp,^/proc,^/dev,^/sys,^/var/lib/drakbackup,^/media/Music-video/Data,^/var/cache/apt/archives --ufs unionfs --root / --tmp /media/Music-video/temp/ --workdir /media/Music-video/mylivecd/workdir/ --lzma --md5sum  /media/Music-video/mylivecd/iso/pclos2010-xfce_14-10-10.iso"

however the standard one still did not work

mylivecd /media/Music-video/mylivecd/iso/pclos2010-xfce_14-10-10b.iso

any ideas why would be appreciated  ( So that I understand how this program works better )
