Re: Re: boot error with backport jessie

This has only just happened to me in the last few days.
Yesterday I built a live image with MATE and backported kernel.
Today I built a minimal iso with TinyWM and a backported kernel.
Neither will boot into a live session but both will install and then boot into the fresh installation.
Cheers.
Michael.

Hi David,

Did you end up finding a way to get live-boot to work with the 4.3 kernel in jessie-backports? I'm hitting the same issue as you.

Thanks,
Corey

Without backports you'd get linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 and with backports I
think you'd get linux-image-4.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 so I'm guessing the problem is
indeed with overlayfs and I don't know how to fix that. It could be that it is
supported but you forget some config setting or it just doesn't work properly.

What you could try is create a preference file so that the kernel is taken
from jessie and not jessie-backports (ie pin to version 3.16.* or sth like
that) and see whether it works then. If it does work, you could stick with
that and/or dive deeper into getting it to work with overlayfs.

I know but I prefer a more generic solution. I do not like adding exceptions.
If I could know the package to be watched.

I have installed Live boot 5.0~a11-2 0
I have added "union=overlay" into bootappend-live : --bootappend-live "boot=live union=overlay components locales=en_US.UTF-8 hostname=minimal username=user noautologin"
But it isn't work.

Live boot must be compatible with overlayfs, must not I ?

Must i install other things ?
