## Re: snapshot

Fri May 06, 2011 9:02 pm

Not enlightened yet, but the film was good.
After doing the re-installation i removed refractasnapshot, re-installed it via the deb, and reran refractasnapshot.
I boot into it... Loading, please wait
and it boots.
I get a similar error message, saying:
"/etc/init.d/live-config: 33 /lib/live/config.sh not found ". Strange.
So, i need to figure out what was the problem. The only thing i can think of is the 38-kernel.

I added the backports repo to my 6.0.5 vbox install. Installed the 38 kernel. Tried to reboot into that kernel and it wouldn't go. Error message said to try running depmod. So I booted into 2.6.32, ran 'depmod 2.6.38-bpo.2-686' and rebooted. Still got same error. Purged 2.6.38, installed it again, rebooted into it with no trouble.
Then I ran refractasnapshot, created a 717mb iso, and I was able to boot that in vbox. The 38 kernel is the default. I haven't done much with it, but it's running and seems ok. Could probably get it below 700mb by removing the older kernel.
One other thing. During the first install, it asked if I wanted to switch fstab to using UUID, and I said no. It didn't ask the second time. (linux-base got upgraded on the first install.)

Uhum.
Tried that too. Same error after "Loading, please wait..."
For me (!) it stays as is: creating a liveCD with a non-default kernel is a no-no.
I upgraded to wheezy-testing, with kernel 38 as the default one, ran "snapshot" from the menu and all is as it should be.
Interesting that it is me. Will keep me from telling others it does not work in general (hopefully).

It has been a month or two but I think all I did was downloaded the sid kernel and linux-base package and used dpkg -i to install them....no problem that I recall...

including to run snapshot? or "only" installing them?

actually....maybe it was the liqourix kernel I used
I know I did a snapshot with a newer kernel and it worked fine as I....just not 100% positive which kernel it was.
That being said, when I tried just now with 6.0.5 and the sid kernel I got 'can't open /scripts/live' or some such doo hikkkey...
wonder if we need the live tools from sid for a sid kernel to work...or if the kernel in sid is just not setup properly for a live boot...
I may have time today/tonight to mess with it further and will report back...

It was the sid kernel that I used a month or so ago. I still have the snapshot iso.
In 6.0.5 the problem seems to be that the live scripts are missing. If you uninstall/reinstall the live-* packages then I think snapshot will work fine. I just did it and I think that is the solution but I will try again later to be sure.

I ran again into the same error.
The following is what i try at the moment:
apt-get install live-initramfs
update-initramfs -k $(uname -r) -u -t /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) # does not work, why?, but:
update-initramfs -u #gave
cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/sda1
cryptsetup: WARNING: could not determine root device from /etc/fstab
which leads to:

5 or 6 snapshots which result in a kernel panic.
Looks like i have to give up, once again.
Mainly cause i ran out of ideas what else to change.
That really sucks.

Saving the following link.
The command gives me an error, but it seems to be the most close link to a solution.
