I recently ran into netboot.xyz and, being sad that it didn't support my favorite live distribution filed a feature request https://github.com/antonym/netboot.xyz/issues/70. I got an old image I had lying around to boot (specifically, grml64-small_2013.09.iso), but I couldn't get grml64-small_2014.11.iso to boot.

When I try (testing in VirtualBox), the startup complains "modprobe: module dm-raid45 not found in modules.dep" and about module "echi-orion" and gets stuck at an initramfs prompt with the message "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system".

Booting the same iso directly works correctly. Any advice?

I tested using netboot.xyz on the grml64-small_testing_build1520.iso (with sha1 9d7135a1a8b4fd22948245f3384137abb521fa8f) and experienced the same failure condition; booting the iso directly succeeded (again, both in VirtualBox).

Oh nice, thanks :)

Those are just cosmetic issue and can be ignored.

Ah hm, looking at

https://github.com/antonym/netboot.xyz/commit/1a00e17fd07577aed57a9c560ab513... I'd say that memdisk support in live-boot (which is used in Grml boot process and responsible for memdisk support) might be broken then?

Could you maybe test it with a more recent Grml version (our daily builds) from http://grml.org/daily/ ?

Ok thanks. I gave memdisk boot a short test via:

apt-get install grub-imageboot mkdir /boot/images cd /boot/images wget http://download.grml.org/grml64-small_2014.11.iso update-grub reboot

and this hangs in an endless loop as well. Adding debug=1 boot option shows that it's failing to detect the filesystem, so something indeed seems to be fishy with recent versions of live-boot. :(

I've reported this as http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue2165 in our BTS.
