Package: live-initramfs
Version: 1.156.1-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
Due to a hosed IDE controler with bad DMA* I can't read the HD's
MBR directly. So I am trying to boot from a standard live-helper
CD with root=/dev/hda1 as a boot option. It boots the live disk as
root instead so I looked in live-initramfs/scripts/live and see
that PLAIN_ROOT (boot option 'plainroot') has to be set in order
for $livefs_root to be set to what I gave for ${ROOT}.
but if I set the 'plainroot' boot command it panics with
"No supported filesystem images found at /live."
which comes from the mount_images_in_directory() fn.
[*] I'm also fighting with bug #442333 for the ide=nodma issues...
I could set the live-media-path= boot option to "" (or perhaps "/boot")
to avoid it looking for a "live" directory but then I get stuck at
trying to match *.squashfs et al. in an unmounted /dev/hda1 which
wouldn't find anything with one of those extensions even if it were
mounted.
so some missing logic in scripts/live to allow plainroot to work?
thanks,
Hamish
