## ISO obtained doesn't boot with debian Testing (Stretch)

Wed Feb 10, 2016 11:12 am

Hi,
the ISO obtained with refractasnapshot doesn't boot when used with debian Testing (Stretch). In the documentation, you say "may be" for Stretch and Sid... : in fact, it's "not" for Stretch
The error is : (initramfs) aufs not found
So, I worked around and found the solution :
> the package aufs doesn't exist in Debian Testing actually
> the solution consist to use overlayfs in replacement
> the simple way to correct the problem is : at boot screen , select option and press tab to obtain the boot command. Delete "union=aufs 3" and replace by "union=overlay" and press enter. That's it ! The boot works now.
> the file refractasnapshot/iso/isolinux/live.cfg should be modified so to boot automatically with Debian Testing.
Thanks for this excellent tool !
Best regards,
X. HINAULT

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix the docs. This issue was mentioned by dzz, and I think he said that you don't need to put union=overlay in the boot command. Just remove union=aufs. Sorry about the confusion.
Edit: It looks like "union=aufs" can be removed in Jessie builds, too. I just tried it with debian jessie and devuan jessie in virtualbox and on a live usb with persistence.
refractasnapshot-9.3.1 coming soon.
The "3" in the boot command is to boot to runlevel 3, which is configured in Refracta and some other distros to be console-only (no desktop).
