custom kernel/local repository problem
HI !
trying lb for a workshop image for a hands-on session
basically the lb config, add package list, lb build
worked perfect. The problem is that I need a different kernel
than the default 3.2.51. The core problem is that the 3.2.51-rt does
not have AUFS turned on - so the package is a rebuild with a changed
config only.
Using the live-build from debian wheeze
Package: live-build
Version: 3.0.5-1
Attempts 1:
to switch to the new kernel I did the following steps
* apt-get source linux-image-3.2.0-4-rt-amd64
* unpacked the rt patch and patched the kernel
* reused the 3.2.0-4 kernel config without change (non-rt)
* build the kernel with make-kpkg
* installed apache/reprepro on the local system
* added the .deb to the repository with reprepro
* checked on the build host with apt-get update,
apt-cache search linux-image-3.2.51-ws-rt72 if the image is found
* changed config/chroot
LB_LINUX_PACKAGES="linux-image-3.2.51-ws-rt72"
* added live/lb/config/archives/my.list.chroot
with just one line
deb http://localhost/debian/ wheezy main
(also tried the local LAN IP address)
* lb clean
* lb build
As it seems the kernel package is expected to have amd64 in its name I rebuilt
the kernel-image and have both names available
apt-cache search rt72 gives me:
linux-image-3.2.51-ws-rt72 - Linux kernel binary image for version 3.2.51-ws-rt72
linux-image-3.2.51-ws-rt72-amd64 - Linux kernel binary image for version 3.2.51-ws-rt72-amd64
But lb build fails with a message that the package is not found

so it seems that it kind of finds it but then does not use it ??
also if I chroot to the chroot build and use apt-cache search
any clue ?
Attempt 2:
As a second attempt I placed the .deb package into config/packages.chroot/
and passing
LB_LINUX_PACKAGES="linux-image-rt"
which is the default wheeze rt kernel (but that does not boot on live-build
doe to missing AUFS).
This builds almost to copmletion and then fails with

both kernels seem to be available - no idea how to interpret the eror message...
Can anyone point me to what step I screwed up in the first method ? The second method does not really seem like a resonable approach to me - but maybe it also can resolve the problem...
thx!
