Problem in Live CD

[Jaswinder Singh]

Hi All

   When system is booted from live CD then it stops at init3.
I think it may be problem with h/w dependency and when other system is 
booted from it then it shows this problem.
Can anybody Please tell me about that and how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance

You don't have X and/or KDE or Gnome installed or both or any other 
desktop environment.
Runlevel setup is determined upon which packages get installed.

No, it is running very well on the system with which it built. On some 
systems it is running well but on some other same CD stops at inint3 
means only text mode works.

If you are expecting X, use "vesa" as your video driver?

There is a %post. Add a line after it: "/sbin/chkconfig <service> off"
where <service> comes from /sbin/chkconfig --list

If you're going this route, just specify the things using the standard
kickstart X config stuff.  That'll let you get all of this without
having to hard-code an xorg.conf

I tried doing it in the kickstart with something like

xconfig --defaultdesktop=GNOME --startxonboot --resolution=1024x768
--depth=16

but it kept replacing it with the video information for the build host, for
example, it would put the vmware information in the xorg information for the
livecd :(

There are also options for specifying the monitor and video driver to
use.

I can confirm that anaconda via kadischi does not seem to honor the specified x
config settings.

For instance, I tried 

xconfig --noprobe --driver="vesa" --resolution=1024x768 --depth=16
--startxonboot --hsync=31.5-57.0
--vsync=50-70 --defaultdesktop=GNOME 

With absolutely no luck.

In fact, using the above with a package selection taken from an FC5 install's
/root/anaconda-ks.cfg, failed to even get the x server installed if I remember
correctly.  I recall having to specify many more specifix x server packages
than were in the /root/anaconda-ks.cfg.  My hunch, though I didn't quite get to
the bottom of it when perusing the anaconda code, is that anaconda handles x
server package selection and configuration in a way that probably inadvertantly
bypasses the config above, and doesn't get reflected in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg,
at least in a way that would be suitable to use as a basis for a kadischi
configuration.

I think however, this and similar issues would be best addressed for new users
via an example configuration and example iso, which illustrate precisely what
kadischi is currently capable of doing and how.  I.e. head off the inevitable
new user questions that involve "why doesn't my kadischi output behave like
this other livecd".  Maybe kadischi's development isn't quite ready ready
for
that, but that would seem to be an inevitably useful reference at some point.

Choose a lower resolution.

Interesting because specifying the X settings my way with resolution
1024x768 and vesa driver works perfectly. I wonder why setting a lower
resolution in the kickstart config would make that difference? Is it an
anaconda specific problem?

I hesitate to venture vague memories, since I haven't been a kadischi user
recently, but I'm remembering-

a) it's not that it didn't get to X, it's that X wasn't even installed,
i.e. no
xorg.conf at all  (and that happened as well before I tried specifying vesa,
and most of the other non default xconfig items)

b) after going through the kadischi/anaconda code, I suspected it had something
to do with anaconda's rootpath option skipping the X config phase.  And I
assumed that the X config phase of anaconda was where anaconda decided which X
server packages to install (completely seperate from the intuitive assumption
that the default @Office and other stuff would get you an X server, since
that's all my system's /root/anaconda-ks.cfg had, and it certainly had x
installed configured and running).

Whoops :P - how about choosing lower res and thus different sync freqs ?

That is strange to say the least.
Some kickstart attributes are deprecated I think as 'lang'.
xconfig may also be one of them, though I am not at all sure.

A dive into pykickstart could be the best place to look.
