Grml via ipxe's sanboot
by Jens Mueller 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

Dear list, I'm trying to boot GRML over ipxe's sanboot. It fails when mounting root: Begin: Mounting root file system ... (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system This is probably no surprise because sanboot is similar to booting using memdisk but without a download delay. mika wrote in "Booting ISO images from within GRUB2" (http://michael-prokop.at/blog/page/3/) "The good news is that Grml supports the memdiskfind/phram/mtdblock approach out-of-the-box." Meaning you do something like modprobe phram phram=memdisk,$(memdiskfind) modprobe mtdblock as mentioned here http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#Linux. But memdiskfind returns nothing. My ipxe config contains :grmlsan sanboot ${url}/iso/grml32-small_2014.03.iso || goto failed Any hints to boot Grml over sanboot? Jens

some problems in using grml-live

Hi. I want to make a grml cd with some kernel changes and adding some packages. Now, I am using a system based on Jessie, but I want to build based on sid. I tried to install the linux-header package, but it would not install saying it needed kbuild4.1 which cannot be installed. Also, I tried to install the linux-source-4.1 package, but ehe .xz file is broken (unrecognized file format) when using tar Jxvf . How to solve these problems? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici covici(a)ccs.covici.com

ssh=password doesn't work
by John G Heim 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

When the syslinux boot screen comes up, am I supposed to type "ssh=password" to start the ssh server? Or is it "grml ssh=password". I've tried both and neither seems to work. I am using grml-full_2014.11.iso. -- John Heim, jheim(a)math.wisc.edu, 608-263-4189, skype:john.g.heim, sip:jheim@sip.linphone.org
