What are UEFI and Windows 10 implications for Live CD?
by ToddAndMargo 27 Mar '15

Hi All, There are rumors flying about that SOF (Son-of-Frankenstein, a.k.a. Windows 10) will be locking itself into UEFI bios so that you can not boot into other operating systems. If this is the case, what are the implications to Live CD/USB? Will we not be able to boot off of Live to do maintenance on SOF? Do I misunderstand how UEFI lock works? Will it only lock you out of the hard drive for booting purposes? And, if you can still boot off of Live, will the lock keep you out of doing maintenance on the hard drive? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi guys. I use livecd-tools create a CentOS 6 LiveOS iso. I boot it from PXE as a RAM OS to do some init setting for rack server. After I reboot from LiveOS, I got a failed message with: Unmounting loopback filesystems: umount: /dev/.initramfs/live: device is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) [FAILED] Detaching loopback device /dev/loop0: loop: can't delete device /dev/loop0: Device or resource busy [FAILED] This is my livecd-creator ks.cfg paste: http://ix.io/elW After PXE liveos boot, '/etc/rc.local' would wget a bash script, then auto run it do some init setting. Email attachments are screenshots about this problem : 1. liveos 'df -h' mount point and device 2. reboot failed info Thanks for your help.
