auto-biarch (x86_64 + i686) LiveDVD patch + ISO
by Jan Kratochvil
Hi,
finally created a LiveDVD ISO automatically booting x86_64 OS on x86_64
(and i686 otherwise). Regular users will not notice there exists any new arch
while they will benefit from the full performance of their PC:
http://people.redhat.com/jkratoch/x86bilive-2009062000.tar.gz (71KB)
It uses live_dir=LiveOS-x86_64 vs. live_dir=LiveOS-i686 to boot the image.
The syslinux patch provides "default-{x86_64,i386}" keywords in isolinux.cfg.
livecd-iso-to-disk is not patched/compatible with such image.
livecd-creator should create such ISO on a single run, not by merging the
output of two livecd-creator runs by a 3rd party app.
Regards,
Jan
Reasons:
* I still did not understand why I have to carry with me two media - both
x86_64 and i386 - when all the data perfectly fit on a single media.
* Why I have to try to boot x86_64 first to find out if the specific machine
is x86_64? Even common programmers do not know it, "Windows XP works here".
* The OS must "just work", it must be fun and easy. Requiring a special
technical decision before even starting the OS download is a showstopper.
* Checked that a regular user will on http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora
still download terrible performance degradation of 32-bit OS although her
hadware is in 70%-95%(?) of cases x86_64. x86_64 is here for 6 years now.
* Arguing x86 may be faster than x86_64... I did not find any such case,
x86_64 is a more modern arch (more registers, PIC for free, better ABI).
We already hit the 2GB address space limitations. x86_64 is the future.
* All the friends of mine have 8Mbit+ ADSL and TB disks downloading many DVD
disks so some several more hundreds of MB are not something to notice.

Help with a problem I am seeing when trying to build a liveCD for FC13
by Jim Galarowicz
Hi,
I've been building a FC13 liveCD to showcase our OpenSpeedShop
performance tool.
The process was working well and I was creating liveCDs that I could
boot and exercise our tool. Then, I'm not sure what happened, as now I
see this when trying to build the liveCD:

Has anyone encountered this? It seems that the install_root isn't
getting the coreutils installed correctly or at all? I don't know if
something was killed in the middle of building and I'm stuck in some
intermediate setup state? I reinstalled the livecd-tools to see if
that would help, but it didn't.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim G.
THE DETAILS:
Steps I take to prepare the liveCD rpms:

1. Install Needed Development Packages
Note: Try to start with a base Fedora Core installation that includes
most development packages.
yum -y install libtool-ltdl-devel livecd-tools createrepo
2. Prepare The Local yum Repository
mkdir -p /var/www/html/yum/{base,updates}
cp /media/Fedora\ 13\ i386\

/var/www/html/yum/base/.
cp /media/Fedora\ 13\ i386\ DVD/Packages/*.rpm /var/www/html/yum/base/.
I had to copy these RPMs into /var/www/html/yum/base in order to create
the live os for OpenSpeedShop

3. Build Open MPI using provided spec file.
Copy created RPM to /var/www/html/yum/base/
4) Build toyprograms, webtutorials, and optionally the openmpi package using
the setup_and_build_rpms.sh script
Copy created RPMs to /var/www/html/yum/base/
5. Build OpenSpeedShop prerequisite packages.
Copy created RPMs to /var/www/html/yum/base/
6. Build OpenSpeedShop
Copy created RPM to /var/www/html/yum/base/
7. Create Local yum Repository
createrepo -dg
/var/www/html/yum/base/fce31f091be8211a394d8942fcf4f6cbeffa3d40d87b61af55a97b1a88b46987-Fedora-13-comps.xml

Problems with livecd-creator on Fedora 14 Beta
by Scott Dowdle
Greetings,
I'm trying to use livecd-creator to build a remix.
The system is Fedora 14 Beta 32-bit with the most current versions of everything installed.
livecd-tools-034-7.fc14
I can build the stock KDE respin just fine but when I try to build my own remix using the fedora-livecd-kde.ks as a base I get the following error:
-----
umount: /var/tmp/imagecreate-{random}/install_root: device is busy.

Any idea what might be causing this?
Now to check bugzilla. :)

[PATCH] F14 livecd-tools: livecd-iso-to-disk with extlinux
by Paul B Schroeder
I was trying to use livecd-iso-to-disk to write to an ext partition
and ran into issues. It seems that in F14 extlinux will be in the
subpackage syslinux-extlinux. And when extlinux runs, it now
creates ldlinux.sys instead of extlinux.sys.
Here's a couple of simple patches to take care of it..
Cheers...Paul...

error: No root device found
by Danishka Navin
Hi,
I was testing my Fedora 13 remix on KVM.
Could not boot 'No root device found. Sleeping for ever' was the error
message.
I have tested this on both Fedora 12 and Fedora 13 systems (as base system).
Is there anyway to fix this issue?
Best Regards,

btrfs for Fedora 12 and 13 LiveCD/DVD ?
by Valent Turkovic
Hi,
how to make Fedora 12 and Fedora 13 LiveCD/DVD that is btrfs formated
and not ext4?
What options need to be enables in kicstart file so that
livecd-creator makes btrfs iso images?
I would like to also have compression enabled after btrfs image in
transfered to hard drive or SSD.
Has anybody tried this?
Thank you in advanced,
Valent.

Building i386 images on a x86_64 machine
by Philip Rhoades
People,
I have some ks files that seem to be working in terms of building images
but I have problems booting the resulting i386 images both using CD/USB
and as virtual machines with qemu.
I have set up the repo happily eg:
repo --name=released
--mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-13&arch=i386
but is there another command that is required in the ks file to tell
livecd-creator to build an i386 image instead of a x86_64 image?
Thanks,
Phil.

I now get a working ISO with SELinux enabled and an apparently correctly
labeled file system. Login and apps seem to work okay. There are a
couple of SELinux violations logged (Network Manager, abrt) but maybe
that is normal?

Anaconda Failure
by Taylor, Monroe E
I have been using the livecd-creator command for quite a while now to create liveUSB devices which are used to install Fedora on all the systems (nearly 100) I support at different sites ensuring they have the same build/configuration. About a week ago, I created a new image and when I attempt to install to hard drive, there is an ABRT message displayed;
"A crash in the anaconda-12.46-2.fc12 package has been detected"
Now I am not able to install to hard drive.
It appears this is a known bug which has been reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628235
and that there is not fix planned. Can anyone confirm this?
If this is the case, does it mean that the "Install to Hard Drive" feature will no longer be available?
