Certainly no crazier than this idea I mentioned on the livecd list- --------------------------------------------- Rebootless Installer - Implementation Outline --------------------------------------------- Goal: A cd/dvd/bluray iso which serves as both a traditional livecd, and a traditional install cd (functionally akin to current ubuntu stuffs, but radically different implementation, as well as 'rebootless' feature) 1) take your linux distro (i.e. fc6). Create a "hardware agnostic" minimal (but useful) installation. I.e. resulting install image can be booted on any supported hardware, and all hardware configuration is done during normal system boot. I.e. the type of system installation you would put on a traditional 'livecd'. Now put this on a livecd, but with a cutting edge boot method such as... 2) the latest linux-from-scratch livecd implements a particularly novel livecd system. Traditionally, various implementations have usually used ram based tmpfs, combined with rom based cd/dvd iso9660, zisofs, squashfs. Along with some bindmounting, or unionfs to get a nice copy-on-write action going. The latest LFS livecd however uses a radical method of storing the system as an ext3 filesystem image (sparse file) on the cd/dvd iso9660 fs, but compressed with zisofs. Then, during early boot, a tmpfs is created, and a large sparse file is created in tmpfs. This sparse file in tmpfs is then used as a devicemapper snapshot device, allowing an alternate COW mechanism to the traditional unionfs mechanism. Now, extending the radicalism- 3) make the following change to (2): Instead of using the sparse file image on dvd, and in tmpfs, use device mapper mirrors for both, initially created as broken mirrors, with the unbroken half being the same image used in (2). 4) now, one can implement an installer application on the livecd like so: - have user create target partitions the traditional way - now, to install, just set the target partitions as the unbroken halfs of the device mapper mirrors created in (3). Then let the device mapper "install" the system by repairing the mirror. - once the mirror is unbroken, manually rebreak it, the opposite way, so the tmpfs image, and cd/dvd rom can be discarded/forgotten-about/unmounted/ejected. - thus once the installer has completed, the same livecd system that the user has been looking at and playing with, _*has become the installed system*_. No reboot is necessary, except for normal kernel maintenance as released updates dictate. - one beneficial side effect, is that the system will be prepared from the beginning for the user to optionally add another disk to be used to 'fix' the broken mirror. (or alternately the bootscripts could remove the broken mirror cruft during the next reboot, so it looks like a perfectly 'normal' system). - one last note, I haven't actually experimented with all of this, but I'm guessing that it's also possible to make the COW dm-snapshot device disappear by "writing back" it's contents to the main image. Otherwise one would have to keep around the original small system image (which isn't necessarily a useless side effect). -jdog __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I've tried both syslinux and grub to boot up from the CF flash and get to the same place with either method. Basically I see the initial splash screen, but it fails someplace in the linuxrc scripts I believe it has to do with the find_live_cd program not finding the image on the flash drive. I've tried changing the lines in the linuxrc from: find-live-cd /cdrom To # find-live-cd /cdrom mount /dev/hda1 /cdrom But have had no luck. I guess the find-live-cd program searched the CD devices for the images and mounts the one it finds to /cdrom. This isn't working for me. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

Use yum's --installroot= to install some things kernel, mkinitrd, X.org Gnome Fluxbox all to a fake root. After all your packages are installed, simply create as Kadischi would: /initrd, /liveusb/{moved,ramfs,tmpfs}, /liveusb/moved/var/lib/rpm Move everything from /var/lib/rpm/* to /liveusb/moved/var/lib/rpm. tar up from the fake rootfs etc home media mnt opt var tmp root into /liveusb/kadischi.tar and gzip it. rm -rf etc/* var/cache/yum/* (or yum clean all using the installroot) and Squash it. (You can also rm -rf boot/* if you wish to save more space) cd (fakeroot) ; mksquashfs . ../usbroot.squash -b 65536 leaves you with the usbroot.squash fakerootfs. (This is going to be easier than trusting a CD worked image to run from a Flash card.) Simply make your initrd now. Here attached is the linuxrc script I use from the initrd which is a gzip'ed Ext2 image: (attached) Then create a directory: mkdir /tmp/usbroot Move the Squashed image to /tmp/usbroot/ Make another directory: mkdir -p /tmp/usbroot/boot/grub Place your kernel and modified initrd in /tmp/usbroot/boot Then cp -R the /tmp/usbroot/* to the compact flash formatted Ext2 card's root. Finally run grub-install, e.g. grub-install --root-directory /media/usbdrive /dev/sda If your compact flash is mounted at /media/usbdrive for instance. This installs Grub's files and the MBR for booting if you machine boots from USB or CF media. You can see the simple trick is loading USB hub modules and mass storage modules during the initrd phase. If it is neccessary any USB related questions should be taken care off off-list as this is the Kadischi/Fedora LiveCD list. If you have more questions just ask. J.

This worked great - many thanks! I documented the process of building our LiveCD here: http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/Kadischi We now have a complete Voice over IP (VoIP) PBX system on a LiveCD for demo purposes. This is a complete SIP system including plug & play config, redundant call control and lots of features. Kadischi has been great developing a very nice LiveCD that allows totally simple demo setups.

Ugh. Why not use the actual stock mkinitrd pieces with just an appropriate livecd-mkrootdev as I've outlined a few times previously and implemented in my hg repo... :/ There's a lot of logic in mkinitrd to handle a lot of cases and trying to replicate all of that in a live CD specific environment is just going to lead to problems that are very difficult to debug Jeremy From jasperhartline at adelphia.net Tue Aug 29 01:54:41 2006 From: jasperhartline at adelphia.net (Jasper O'neal Hartline) Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 20:54:41 -0500 Subject: [Fedora-livecd-list] Hybrid initramfs busybox/nash x86 and x86_64 testers In-Reply-To: <1156815714.29562.6.camel@aglarond.local> References: <44F22358.6040404@adelphia.net> <1156815714.29562.6.camel@aglarond.local> Message-ID: <44F39E61.5090308@adelphia.net> Hehe.. I can see the scrunching on your face now.. It was actually simple to do, it should fix the problem with x86_64 bootstraps. I slimmed the livecd-mkinitrd.sh (mkinitrd) script WAY down in the process. This doesn't mean much but I think we can probably do as you suggest and use /sbin/mkinitrd on the host. I'll experiment with this soon after I get done with a current tester on x86_64. J.

Most of the problems like: HWADDR lines in ifcfg-eth0 interface files xorg.conf Driver lines for video driver The "touch ./autorelabel" The runlevel not being set by Anaconda anymore SELinux being enabled unless disabled All can be fixed using some scripts yes, and stuff but ultimately should be fixed upstream. The sorg.conf issue is fixed, Xorg automatically chooses the right driver as the card is probed on the fly. The other things are things that will need to be fixed upstream and stuff, to produce a quality CD. We can only do so much Chitlesh. Oh PS.
