problem when using livecd-iso-to-pxeboot
by Jiang Jim 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

I want to pxe a official CentOS-6.3-x86_64-LiveCD.iso to other servers. I face to some problem, I use livecd-iso-to-pxeboot to build a tftpboot/. I can get vmlinuxz0 and initrd0.img This is my pxelinux.cfg/default DEFAULT pxeboot TIMEOUT 20 PROMPT 0 LABEL pxeboot KERNEL livecd/vmlinuz0 APPEND rootflags=loop initrd=livecd/initrd0.img root=live:/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-LiveCD.iso rootfstype=auto ro liveimg nodiskmount nolvmmount rhgb vga=791 rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 rd.live.check ONERROR LOCALBOOT 0 But someting wrong in root section cannot open root device "live:/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-LiveCD.iso" I want to find out where CentOS-6.3-x86_64-LiveCD.iso It put into initrd0.img I extract the content of initrd0.img, but when I extract coip img, 700mb content become 21m I can't find where the CentOS-6.3-x86_64-LiveCD.iso is. Then I found the code of livecd-iso-to-pxeboot ( cd "$ISODIRNAME" && echo "$ISOBASENAME" | cpio -H newc -L -o ) | gzip -9 | cat $CDMNT/isolinux/initrd0.img - > tftpboot/initrd0.img I can't understand why this commend is using cat to put two file, initrd and iso together.

[PATCH] fix build with syslinux >= 5

>From 127ed90d89325e3c070959404e55b79c56e8a562 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joshua Covington <joshuacov_at_gmail_dot_com> Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:54:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix build with syslinux >= 5 This is based on F17 but should be easily rebased to f18+. Syslinux 5.xx switched from the COM32 object format to much more powerful ELF object format that allows undefined symbols to be resolved at runtime and dynamic loading of module dependencies, which means modules now become shared object files instead of statically linked binaries - reducing both disk space and runtime memory consumption. Furthermore it split non-core functionality into ldlinux.c32 For more information look in the changelog under http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/ Introduce these changes in the livecd-tools package. --- imgcreate/live.py | 21 +++++++++++++++++++++ tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh | 34 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 55 insertions(+) diff --git a/imgcreate/live.py b/imgcreate/live.py index 87d5129..3384fe5 100755 --- a/imgcreate/live.py +++ b/imgcreate/live.py @@ -416,6 +416,27 @@ class x86LiveImageCreator(LiveImageCreatorBase): files = ["isolinux.bin", menu] if mboot: files += [mboot] + + # Since Syslinux >= 5 and the switch from the COM32 object format to ELF + # we need 'libcom32.c32' and 'libutil.c32' for '*menu.c32' to work properly + # as well as 'ldlinux.c32' for the bootloader. + version = 0 + syslinux_version = subprocess.check_output([self._instroot + "/usr/bin/rpm", "-qi", "syslinux"]) + if len(syslinux_version) <= 0: + raise CreatorError("syslinux not installed or not in rpm database") + + for strings in syslinux_version.split('\n'): + if strings.startswith('Version'): + for part in strings.split(':'): + if part.startswith(' '): + version = int(float(part.strip())) + break + + if version >= 5: + for lib in ("libcom32.c32", "libutil.c32", "ldlinux.c32"): + for dir in ("/usr/lib/syslinux/", "/usr/share/syslinux/"): + if os.path.isfile(self._instroot + dir + lib): + files += [lib] for f in files: if os.path.exists(self._instroot + "/usr/lib/syslinux/" + f): diff --git a/tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh b/tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh index 0b4d2c8..7104d7c 100755 --- a/tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh +++ b/tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh @@ -1358,6 +1358,26 @@ if [ -z "$multi" ]; then cp /usr/lib/syslinux/menu.c32 $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/menu.c32 fi + # Since Syslinux >= 5 and the switch from the COM32 object format to ELF + # we need 'libcom32.c32' and 'libutil.c32' for '*menu.c32' to work properly + # as well as 'ldlinux.c32' for the bootloader. + syslinux_version=`/usr/bin/rpm -qi syslinux | grep Version | cut -d ':' -f 2 | cut -d '.' -f 1` + if (( "$syslinux_version" >= 5 )); then + if [ -f /usr/share/syslinux/libcom32.c32 -a -f /usr/share/syslinux/libutil.c32 -a -f /usr/share/syslinux/ldlinux.c32 ]; then + cp /usr/share/syslinux/libcom32.c32 $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/libcom32.c32 + cp /usr/share/syslinux/libutil.c32 $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/libutil.c32 + cp /usr/share/syslinux/ldlinux.c32 $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/ldlinux.c32 + elif [ -f /usr/lib/syslinux/libcom32.c32 -a -f /usr/lib/syslinux/libutil.c32 -a -f /usr/lib/syslinux/ldlinux.c32 ]; then + cp /usr/lib/syslinux/libcom32.c32 $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/libcom32.c32 + cp /usr/lib/syslinux/libutil.c32 $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/libutil.c32 + cp /usr/lib/syslinux/ldlinux.c32 $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/ldlinux.c32 + else + echo "ERROR: Cannot find 'libcom32.c32, libutil.c32, ldlinux.c32' which are needed for Syslinux >= 5." + cleanup + exit 1 + fi + fi + if [ "$TGTFS" == "vfat" -o "$TGTFS" == "msdos" ]; then # syslinux expects the config to be named syslinux.cfg # and has to run with the file system unmounted @@ -1366,6 +1386,9 @@ if [ -z "$multi" ]; then if [ -f $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/ldlinux.sys ]; then rm -f $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/ldlinux.sys fi + if [ -f $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/ldlinux.c32 ]; then + rm -f $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/ldlinux.c32 + fi cleanup if [ -n "$SYSLINUXPATH" ]; then syslinux -d $SYSLINUXPATH $TGTDEV @@ -1373,6 +1396,17 @@ if [ -z "$multi" ]; then syslinux $TGTDEV fi elif [ "$TGTFS" == "ext2" -o "$TGTFS" == "ext3" -o "$TGTFS" == "ext4" -o "$TGTFS" == "btrfs" ]; then + if (( "$syslinux_version" >= 5 )); then + if [ -f /boot/extlinux/libcom32.c32 -a -f /boot/extlinux/libutil.c32 -a -f /boot/extlinux/ldlinux.c32 ]; then + cp /boot/extlinux/libcom32.c32 $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/libcom32.c32 + cp /boot/extlinux/libutil.c32 $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/libutil.c32 + cp /boot/extlinux/ldlinux.c32 $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/ldlinux.c32 + else + echo "ERROR: Cannot find 'libcom32.c32, libutil.c32, ldlinux.c32' which are needed for Syslinux >= 5." + cleanup + exit 1 + fi + fi # extlinux expects the config to be named extlinux.conf # and has to be run with the file system mounted mv $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/isolinux.cfg $TGTMNT/$SYSLINUXPATH/extlinux.conf -- 1.8.2 -- --joshua

live-cd tools environment limit?
by Gareth 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

Hi, all Is there any environment limit for livecd-tools installed from 'yum install'? Now, python 2.4 is required, not 2.6 in centos 6.3 Will centos works fine with this tool? I have created some livecd images, but when machine start up with my custom livecd, it stoped at grub page (after pressing down at grub page, no response later). Any response is helpful. Thanks -- Gareth *Cloud Computing, Openstack, Fitness, Basketball * *OpenStack contributor* *My promise: if you find any spelling or grammar mistakes in my email from Mar 1 2013, notify me * *and I'll donate $1 or ￥1 to an open organization you specify.*

livecd-iso-to-disk with file as target
by John.Florian＠dart.biz 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Hi all, Is there any way I can get livecd-iso-to-disk to do its thing with a target that is not a regular block-device? I spin images regularly throughout the work day and then have to transfer the image to a CF or SD card using this tool, then drop said card into a host for each test cycle. This is, of course, tedious. I'd like to shorten the process by using a VM as the host and simply point this VM to a disk image file that I populate directly with livecd-iso-to-disk. Presently, the tool balks at my attempt complaining with the error that, "test.img is not a block device". I already have used the VM to run the ISO directly, but that is insufficient for my use case because I absolutely need the persistent storage that usually is possible via the remaining space of the CF/SD card. Yes, I could create a second virtual disk for the persistent storage, but that would require lots of retooling of my various OS hooks and arguably be sufficiently different to the normal deployment that it would be a weak test at best. -- John Florian
