Did you get a response? My builds (wheezy i386 on i386) are building,
then failing when booting and dropping to initramfs. Same error
(mountroot is not found):
lb config \
--binary-images hdd \
--bootappend-live "hostname=foo username=bar persistence
locales=en_GB.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=gb" \
--package-lists "standard-x11" \
--archives live.debian.net \
--apt-recommends false \
--mirror-bootstrap "http://foo:3142/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/";
It all builds the binary.img fine apart from the warning below about:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-2-686-pae
df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file
or directory
live-boot:W: live-boot-initramfs-tools (backend) installed without live-boot,
W: this initramfs will *NOT* have live support.
I think Daniel fixed live-boot for that in git, but I got the same
error building from the latest live-build source and same result.
lb --version
live-build, version 3.0~a49-1
I've also tried it with live-build from git (marked as a50, but I
think the VERSION file still states a49).
I've also tried a vanilla build
lb config; lb build
This also fails when booted with mountroot error. Have tried from both
kvm and dd'ing to a standard USB stick. Can anyone else verify if it
is just us with the problem and if we can do anything to help
ourselves? I'm happy to supply a build.log or any other information as
required.
Ta,
