## Help please - Live Mount Error - Refractasnapshot.

Mon Jan 02, 2017 3:09 am

I am using Debian Jessie, and with the default 3.16 kernel refractasnapshot works fine.
But if i upgrade to any other kernel i get errors, not with compiling, it compiles fine. but when booting off the live DvD or USB i get errors on live boot.
I have tried updating to kernel 4.8 in jessie backports, i also tried updating to kernel 4.9 and both give the same error, i also tried on multiple machines, same thing. I also tried making UB with both rufus and unetbootin, same thing.
the errors i get are the fllowing :

Code:
  `Mount: mounting /dev/sdb1 on live/medium failed : invalid argument
  FAT-fs (sdb1): IO charset ascii not found`

and then much further down it says :

Code:
  `/bin/sh: cant access tty: job control turned off
  (initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem
  modprobe: module ehci-orion not found in modules.dep`

Anyone here that has any idea why i get these errors ? I am using the latest refractasnapshot available on sourceforge

I never could get the 4.2 kernel to boot in a refractasnapshot. I downgraded to current stable kernel.

Hard disk space is short here, can't use refracta snapshot on my running system.
I do however have a "test" chroot, with a directory structure the same as refractasnapshot uses. In the chroot I installed live-* and 4.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 from backports. In isolinux.cfg "union=aufs" was changed to "union=overlay".
Upon installing the newer packages, intramfs was seen to be correctly updated automatically.
I ran refractasnapshot in "nocopy" mode on the chroot. The iso boots normally both in qemu and from my grub menu.
If you have more than one kernel installed you need to check the vmlinuz and initrd in the iso's /live are present and correctly referenced in isolinux.cfg (or live.cfg).

I just did the same test on hardware. Installed live-boot* and linux-image-4.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 from backports, made a snapshot and it boots in qemu in bios mode and in uefi mode. Did not need union=overlay here - just left it out. Running devuan jessie minimal install plus icewm.

absolutely no luck. I even tried to do a fresh install of the debian jessie minimal iso.
I installed kernel 4.8 from backports, then updated the live boot packages from backports as well, install snapshot 10.0 and took a snapshot, still same error...
This is error is happening in EFI mode, even if i switch of the EFI mode in bios, it still boots to EFI menu in live mode, so i cant test the normal mode live boot, just EFI mode and this error is persisting.
