From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: bugzilla at busybox.net Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:54:29 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [Buildroot] [Bug 6092] New: Bootable ISO image creation seems to have stopped working since 2012.08 Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=6092 Summary: Bootable ISO image creation seems to have stopped working since 2012.08 Product: buildroot Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P5 Component: Other AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org ReportedBy: gfx229-uclibc at yahoo.com CC: buildroot at uclibc.org Estimated Hours: 0.0 2012.08 and prior generated bootable ISO images whereas the changes after this (which defaulted to CPIO initramfs from Ext2 filesystem image) seems to have stopped working (could be operator error but no obvious documentation in this scenario). Repro (2012.11 to 2013.02) - used mostly straight-line defaults: [ ] Linux kernel - Install kernel image to /boot in target, used i386_defconfig extracted from Linux kernel build as defined kernel config [ ] Bootloaders - specified both grub and syslinux (Install isolinux) [ ] Filesystem images - iso image, fs/iso9660/menu.lst - cpio the root filesystem (no compression method) [ ] Package selection - nothing but BusyBox Observed behavior - burned ISO boots and hangs after "Loading Stage2 ....." Previous good (2012.08) [ ] Burned ISO bootable (I think because initrd is Ext2 rather than Initramfs/CPIO) --- Perhaps I'm doing something wrong or need other configuration parameters for the Linux kernel (I tried adding other filesystem module support but that did not help nor do I suspect it is necessary). If there is some BuildRoot documentation that I'm overlooking or need to do more directly with Linux kernel configuration to ensure even a "linked-in" initramfs copy works, I'm happy to further investigate my own issues. (It just was working fine with the Ext2 initrd but seems to have stopped after the changes in 2012.11 so I was wondering where I've gone wrong or if this is not a widely tested scenario.) Thank you very much and best regards. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.busybox.net/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
