Sorry, I was having some rather major issues unrelated to debian-live
and was not able to pursue this earlier.
What I get when I boot off of the custom kernel is:
@ Boot failed!
This debian image failed to boot.
Please file a bug against the 'live-initramfs' package or email the
Debian Live mailing list at <debian-live@lists.debian.org>, making sure
to note the exact version, name and distribution of the image you were
attempting to boot.
The file /live.log contains some debugging information but booting
with the debug command-line parameter will greatly increase its
verbosity which is extremely useful when diagnosing issues.
live-initramfs will now start a shell. The error message was:
Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/live/image/live/filesystem.squashfs) on
//filesystem.squashfs
Busybox v1.10.2 (Debian 1:1.10.2-2) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
(initramfs) _
The /live.log file has only a couple of lines and informs me that:
Mounting "/live/image/live/filesystem.squashfs" on "filesystem.squashfs"
via "/dev/loop0" ... mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs
failed
: No such device
The kernel I am using was downloaded from the etch repository in source
format - reconfigured via make menuconfig to add built-in framebuffer
support for the ATI Mach64 video chip. I then ran make-kpkg to create
the .deb and followed up by a dpkg -i linux-image...deb.
After testing this kernel in my live environment, I copied the deb to
config/chroot_local_packages and added it to the LH_LINUX_PACKAGES= in
config/chroot.
I followed by (as root):
# lh_clean --purge
# lh_build
.. and tested the image via:
$ qemu -cdrom /data/binary.iso -boot d

The kernel is not patched.

Please let me know if you have sufficient information.
Thanks!
