Re: Some of the parameters used in my genisoimage command don't produce a bootable ISO image

Hi,

i should have looked into the boot/grub/grub.cfg file for initrd usage:

  ...
  menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux Live (kernel 5.10.0-18-amd64)" {
    linux  /live/vmlinuz-5.10.0-18-amd64 boot=live components splash quiet "${loopback}"
    initrd /live/initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64
  }

  ... many language choices with the same initrd ...

  menuentry "Graphical Debian Installer" {
    linux  /d-i/gtk/vmlinuz append video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=788 "${loopback}"
    initrd /d-i/gtk/initrd.gz
  }
  menuentry "Debian Installer" {
    linux  /d-i/vmlinuz  "${loopback}"
    initrd /d-i/initrd.gz
  }
  ...

So which GRUB menu item did you choose in your test whether your preseed.cfg
in /d-i/initrd.gz works ?
Only "Debian Installer" uses it. "Live" and "Graphical Debian Installer" use
the other two.


Have a nice day :)
