### Kernel panic error after snapshot...

by raymerjacque » Sun Sep 21, 2014 8:26 pm

Hi guys, havnt been on for a while.. Took a break from linux but im back now
So being back I started working on a new MakuluLinux release, and ofcourse there being quite a few kernel updates and now debian supporting systemd I thought it best to use a newer updated refractsnapshot, but i am at my ropes end here, been struggling for 2 days now and I need some help please. here is what i have done :
Firstly the new snapshot does not install on debian testing, gives an "cannot install 'live-config'" error. so i did as the post in another thread suggested, i simply extracted the deb file and copied to correct directories. I then proceeded to take a snapshot, it gave me a few errors in the log, Rsync, squashfstools, ISOLINUX, xorriso and few other packages i had to install. So i did. I proceeded to build without errors.
However, the problem has popped up when i try and boot the live CD i created, it gives me a kernel panic error ( see the screenshot below ). and I have tried everything i can think of, I just dont know how to fix this, the original OS works perfectly, its only the snapshot image that gives this error.
I am buildingbased on debian testing. Any ideas on what i am doing wrong ?
here is a screenshot of the error : http://s17.postimg.org/vr7fxjc33/kernel_error.jpg

I think you need to install live-config and live-config-systemd (or live-config-sysvinit if you managed to keep systemd out of your system.) They appear to be in the jessie repositories - 4.0~alpha33-1 in jessie and 4.0.0-1 in sid. What happens if you run 'apt-get install live-config'?
Latest version of snapshot is 9.1.2-1, found here -
http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/files/Testing/
I think sid was still using 4.0~alpha33 the last time I tested refractasnapshot, and it worked.
Edit: And 'scripts/live', shown at the top of your error message, is found in live-boot-initramfs-tools. Make sure you have all the dependencies installed.

yip, my bad, because i copied files over instead of installing i obviously did not see all required dependencies, it occured to me i may be missing something, so i double clicked the old refract deb files just to see what pops up and it said i need live-boot-initramfs-tools ... so that may be the problem, i just installed them and busy rebuilding, will let you know if it was the missing ingredient or not. and I will check the rest you posted as well.

ok , problem solved, it was live-boot, live-boot-config and live-boot-initramfs-tools that i was missing, after installing those everything worked fine.
Thnx for the quick reply
