Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] CALL for Testing: kadischi under 64 bit hardware

[amrobot]

Hello Chitlesh,

I just installed the x86_64 version of FC5 on my e-machines laptop that
has a "Mobile AMD Athlon 64 3400+" cpu...

I'd be willing to test...  I'll be using Kadischi to create my own liveCD
shortly,

Please let me know what I can do,
-Roy

CALL for Testing: kadischi under 64 bit hardware

[J. Hartline]

Right now we are investigating x86_64 Live builds that fail when in the 
initrd phase.
It has been suggested to us that x86_64 may require an initramfs not an 
initrd, it is unclear.

I can send a patch later if you wish that uses initramfs rather than an 
initrd if you are willing to
apply it to the current CVS of Kadischi and test it there locally for us.

Please do, there was a problem a few weeks back with this.

Instead of creating a patch, since the livecd-mkinitrd.sh script and 
livecd-linuxrc was totally reworked
I've decided to just send the two files. This is outlined in a previous 
message on this list that may be at the bottom of people's
inboxes.. so here they are again: <attached>

Simply replace the two files in your installed tree (or uninstalled CVS 
tree) and run a build.
The result ISO *should* be using an initramfs afterwards and may rectify 
the x86_64 build issue on boots.
