Re: Modify Squeeze Netinstaller CD (including Firmware)

[Mario Kleinsasser <mario.kleinsasser+debian@gmail.com>]

I found out that is also not working in the simplest way:

1. extract iso like:

bsdtar -C ~/netinstaller6/cd -xf ~/netinstaller6/debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst.iso

2. make iso from extracted content:

mkisofs -o ~/netinstaller6/debian-601-amd64-netinst-bnx2x.iso -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat ~/netinstaller6/cd

As result, after pressing "Install" at the grub boot-loader the message "Invalid or corrupt kernel image" pops up.

Funny.

Seems like that there has something changed with Squeeze?

Regards,

Mario

Hello list!

I'am trying to modify the Netinstaller Squeeze iso image to integrate the bnx2x firmware.

I know that there are Netinstaller Images which are including non-free Firmware out there, but I would like to do it on my own, because I have to integrate also a preseed file.

I followed my own documentation from http://www.n0r1sk.com/index.php/Debian_Remaster_Netinstaller_-_Integrate_Firmware_bnx2x_and_Preseed but this does not work any more. I got an "Invalid or corrupt kernel" message, but I don't understand why.

Also this documentation http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/NetbootFirmware#Examples_for_Squeeze_.28Untested.29 isn't working.

I would like to "solve" this problem and give it back to Debian but currently I am out of an idea why it is not working.

Any hints, tips, suggestions?

Kind Regards

Mario
