Thank you for your anwsers.
Let's go a litle bit further on. I made a kernel with the command :
# make-kpkg kernel_image --append_to_version -majilux --initrd
and I put the line in the file 'debian-live/config/chroot' :
LH_LINUX_FLAVOURS="majilux"
The trick I found was to add the '-' in the --append_to_version
parameter and not in LH_LINUX_FLAVOURS...
Then I have a live-cd that can boot nicely after the splash screen,
but... after a few stuffs (recognition of hard disk, usb...), I get the
message "can't access tty; job control turned off" and a minimal shell.
Then I replaced the line in debian-live/config/common :
LH_INITRAMFS="live-initramfs"
At the boot of this cd, I get the lines :
Begin: mounting root file system
/init: .: 150: can't open /scripts/live
kernel panic :-(
Here is the result of the command 'll binary/live/' :
-rwx------ 1 root root 219705344 2007-09-11 14:53 filesystem.squashfs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4880323 2007-09-11 14:53 initrd.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94760 2007-09-11 14:53 memtest
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1792376 2007-09-11 14:53 vmlinuz
Another suggestion ?
