Bug#939034: live-boot: Since Debian 10 live-boot no longer can boot from removable NTFS HDD



Package: live-boot
Version: 1:20190614
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

First of all, I use several Linux distributions to test my programs. That's,
why I can't just install Linux on my computer and have to use Live
distributions instead. I just need to constantly switch between many different
versions.

I had Debian 9.9 live images installed on my 1Tb HDD. I tried to update to 10,
but it refused to boot.

Every time, I try to boot it, it just shows graphical logo and makes several
attempts to access my computer's HDD and removable HDD. After that, it shows
initramfs prompt and after using exit command it shows following error:

I use syslinux config, like this one (some files are renamed to remove
clutter):

label ubnentry6
menu label Debian Linux 10.0 Mate 32bit
kernel /debian/10.0/32/mate/live/vmlinuz
append initrd=/debian/10.0/32/mate/live/initrd.lz boot=live components
ignore_uuid live-media-path=/debian/10.0/32/mate/live/ quiet splash

label ubnentry7
menu label Debian Linux 10.0 Mate 32bit PAE
kernel /debian/10.0/pae/mate/live/vmlinuz
append initrd=/debian/10.0/pae/mate/live/initrd.lz boot=live components
ignore_uuid live-media-path=/debian/10.0/pae/mate/live/ quiet splash

label ubnentry8
menu label Debian Linux 10.0 Mate 64bit
kernel /debian/10.0/64/mate/live/vmlinuz
append initrd=/debian/10.0/64/mate/live/initrd.lz boot=live components
ignore_uuid live-media-path=/debian/10.0/64/mate/live/ quiet splash

Exactly the same images with exactly the same config and directory structure
boot successfully from FAT32 flash drive. This suggests, that problem is
exactly with NTFS support.

What I've tried to do to solve this problem? I tried to rebuild ISO images via
live-build. I had some problems. I needed to completely change whole live-build
config in order to manage to build something. I managed to change kernel, pre-
install firmware and some packages. But no success with booting from NTFS.
Initramfs should be build with default configuration, i.e. no DISABLE_NTFS
flag. Therefore it should support booting from removable NTFS drive. But it
doesn't. Fix it, please.
