## Can't tty access from livecd

Thu Oct 24, 2013 6:35 pm

Hi all
I build snapshot on WheezyLxde on Centrino1 Pentium M, with new kernel 3.10 compiled
from config 486.
I write snapshot isohybrib on usb with: cat *.iso > /dev/sdb
Reboot and start from usb, but fails on busybox with: can't tty access
What could be the problem? The new kernel does not set properly?
Snapshot created with kernel 3.2-486, worked!
Thanks
Regards

Did you test the kernel in an installed system first? Are you sure it boots? And are the symlinks and boot menu (live.cfg) both pointing to the right kernel and initrd.img?
dzz made a sid snapshot with 3.10 kernel, and so did I, and both of them boot correctly.

Hi
I installed WheezyLxde with kernel 3.2 on my laptop, 32bit Centrino1.
Build with Snapshot livecd and is Ok, function! more fast on usb! Great!
Downloaded last kernel 3.10, and compiled with config of Wheezy 486 kernel 3.2

Code:
  `cp /boot/config-`uname -r`* .config
  make menuconfig
  make modules_install
  make install
  `

The new kernel on hdd function.
Removed kernel 3.2, re-build snapshot, but don't function on usb.
I canno't understand it does not work!
Thanks
Regards

Sorry, but I don't know, either. It's been awhile since I've used a custom kernel. Maybe try comparing your config for 3.10 with the one from the sid 3.10 or better yet, the one from wheezy-backports. And maybe compiling the kernel the debian way might make a difference. The way I've done it in the past, the kernel and the initrd get created at the same time and put into debian packages. I don't know how you made your initrd, but possibly something is missing from it. These are all guesses.
Edit: There are several howtos at forums.debian.net for compiling kernels the debian way.
