My live CD has no boot option in the menu
by Richard W.M. Jones 19 May '14

19 May '14

Can anyone see anything obviously wrong in the attached kickstart? The live CD appears to build fine (tried both F20 & Rawhide versions of livecd-creator). However when booted in qemu: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -cdrom livecd-minimal-201405171054.iso -boot d it only has the "Troubleshooting" menu. There is no other boot menu, nor does it autoboot (I waited quite a while), nor is there any visible indication that it is going to autoboot, eg. no countdown. Also attached is the isolinux.cfg file extracted from the ISO. Any ideas here? Rich. PS. If you want to try building from the kickstart, you will have to remove or change the --proxy option from the repo lines. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-builder quickly builds VMs from scratch http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html

Hi All, Xfce 4.8 Scientific Linux 6.4, 64 bit livecd-tools-13.4.5-1.el6.x86_64 For the life of me I can not get any persistence (things don't stay between reboots). What am I doing wrong ("#" is my boot prompt)? # fdisk /dev/sdc d1, n, p1, t, c, w (use type "C" for fat32) # mkdosfs -v -c /dev/sdc1 # livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 4095 --format --reset-mbr /home/kvm/Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-20-1.iso /dev/sdc1 Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
