linld boot options
by didi.segbert＠arcor.de 23 Feb '08

23 Feb '08

Hello, i want to boot grml with linld. The grml.squashfs, linux26 and initrd.gz are in /live. The kernel boots up to the prompt "initramfs". But i can not do anything , because swspeak and brltty is not on. With help of a "Gucki" i found out, that the usb-stick ist /dev/sda. Is there a option, that i can say the grml.squashfs is on /dev/sda? I have set the live-media-path=live. Or is there a initrd.gz with brltty, so that i have control over initramfs or the busybox. Regards Dietmar

grml on usb stick: can not get partition to start at cylinder 1
by Peter 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

Hi I try to get grml_small on a usb stick. thanks to mikas nice blog /http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2006/03/24/booten-vom-usb-stick-fdisk-vs-cfdisk/ I learned that the first partition has to start on cylinder 1. However, when using fdisk or cfdisk , I always get 63 as the value for Start (as Mika has pointed out, the output of fdisk differs from fdisk -l -u , the former showing the value 1 and the latter the value 63) In his blog Mika says: "As soon as I had adjusted the partition ..." But how did he adjust ? Thanks Peter

debtorrent

I just grabbed the debtorrent package. Is anyone using it? I really like the idea of bittorrent as a distribution method for software packages, since those packages are gpg-signed. -- Chris

/cdrom/scripts not working
by Jon 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

Hi mika, Perhaps related to the earlier bootparams issue, I get this after creating scripts/grml.sh on a usb memory stick and booting with the 'scripts' option: * grml script found on CD, executing /cdrom/scripts/*. config_cdrom_scripts:.:4: no such file or directory: /cdrom/scripts/* and the script doesn't execute. Not sure if this is deprecated or not, as you described /cdrom as the 'old directory layout' in issue414. Thanks again.

bootparams not working
by Jon 18 Feb '08

18 Feb '08

Hi, I've got grml booting off a usb memory stick as per these instructions: http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=usb I want to change the default boot options, so I added a bootparams/params text file at the root of the memory stick with 'toram ssh=foo nodhcp'. The file seems to be ignored though; it just boots normally with no options added. Could someone tell me what I'm missing?
