<SOLVED> remaster or vbox problem

[yodelu]

just updated kde2010 (to 4.6.2) and made an iso with mylivecd and mounted this iso in vbox 4 (win version)
livecd hangs right after playmouth start
also tested with ZenMini and LXDE with same results
the older isos ( which i made them about a month ago) are fine in vbox

any ideea ?

Boot in verbose mode to see where it is failing. Also using the latest kernel 2.6.38.3 is recommended for default mylivecd settings due to compression changes.


For Kernel 2.6.38.x

mylivecd livecd.iso = defaults to xz maximum compression. Takes a long time. Produces the smallest ISO.

mylivecd --xz livecd.iso = defaults to xz normal compression. Takes the same time as the old lzma. Produces an ISO the same size as using the old lzma

mylivecd --gzip livecd.iso = defaults to gzip compression. The fastest of the 3. Produces the largest ISO.

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A recent test on KDE4 MiniME installation.

mylivecd --gzip --md5sum test-gzip.iso  created in 4:30 minutes Size: 569mb - Boot OK

mylivecd --xz --md5sum test-xz.iso created in 9:35 minutes Size: 491 mb - Boot OK

Edit: (using max xz compression)
mylivecd --ms5sum test-xz-max.iso created in 18:38 minutes Size 475 mb - Boot OK

the kernel used is 2.6.33.7-pclos6.bfs (now i'm in LXDE)
the verbose mode returns this error:
ERROR: Unable to mount loop filesystem,
Commands were:
losetup /dev/loop0 initrd/cdrom/livecd.sqfs
mount -r -t squashfs /dev/loop0 initrd/loopfs
Most likely cause is bad burn or bad download
Please run mediacheck on livecd

Dropping you to a limited shell

I also run a mediacheck and everything is fine

i will try to make another iso with normal lzma compression  and see what's next ..

thx !

For kernels older than 2.6.37 you will need to use the --lzma option on mylivecd command line ie mylivecd --lzma new.iso. Do not use --lzma with kernels 2.6.37 and up as it will fail at this time.

yes tex, you're right, the lzma option in mylivecd did the "trick"
now the isos are running fine in vbox
thx !
