## remixing Debian with libre-kernel et.al

Mon Sep 10, 2012 2:54 pm

The story: kelsoo and a few others want to go for a remix of Debian, but with a libre-kernel and as many GPL-licensed apps as possible (iiuc).
Let me use this thread to store info i need, else they are spattered all across the Web, IRC-logs and what not.
First things first:
I installed a libre-kernel two years ago. It worked well, but doing a remix failed.
Anyone has experience with that (a)installing it and b)remxing it )
If not wrong the idea is to either take refracta (as far its me free anyway) or antiX-libre as the base.

It is like it is:
As soon i use a non-default kernel i run into trouble.
I installed the libre-kernel, ran refractasnapshot-gui, all went fine.
I try to boot the iso and when seeing the boot screen
i hit the enter-key, but nothing happens.
I hit "help" and if i then hit Enter to "boot>" i get:
No Default or UI configuration to be found.
If someone wants to run a libre-kernel he has to figure that out. I won't.

Check /vmlinuz and /initrd.img links to make sure they're correct. The snapshot script uses those to copy the kernel and initrd to the iso. Check the links in the host system, and check to make sure the kernel and initrd are in the mounted iso.
Edit: link to riseup page won't load.

The link to etherpad at riseup works here. Strange, but no idea.
Now you made me look into it again ... grml...
