I updated the livecd-tools package from version 013 to 014. This update introduces new interesting features like : - support for Xen kernel - built-in md5sum into the resulting LiveCD ISO - a new API See https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki/GetToolset for instructions on how to get this updated toolset. Since it is a major update, I expect some bugs. I am looking for feedback from

Hello Guys We are starting a project's desktop virtualization, I'm trying to create an image centos to install Citrix Receiver for q clients the machines do not need HD. Among all tests q I bumped into two "errors": 1. Install Centos 2. Foreign q there is no bootable image I studied various contents on the internet a list of them below:

Ok, there's been discussion, including, I think, on the wiki web page, that syslinux is not correct. At any rate, after enough experimentation, I have a working install on a USB key. The procedure is: Using fdisk, partition your key: one partition, VFAT (type b, and toggle the bootable flag), about 9M or 10M, and a second partition big enough to hold a DVD. That should be type 83 (Linux

I have a CentOS 4.4 system where all of the main filesystems are on a single hard drive. This drive is starting to give some errors, so I got a new (larger) drive to replace it with. What is the easiest way to copy my filesystems over to the new drive? I considered using dd, but I lose the extra capacity of the new drive that way. I tried using SystemImager, but it is giving me some errors. I

CentOS 7. I have a server with four drives. 1 is /, and the other three are in RAID5. I need to pull a drive, so I can test whether the server can read > 2TB drives. I've been googling, but don't want to screw the server up.... I think I'd like to 1. stop the RAID 2. pull a drive 3. put in a large drive, and run parted, and mkfs 4. pull the large drive 5. replace the

I have been following these instructions: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=501 to put a bunch of utilities (Clonezilla, SystemRescue, CentOS netinstall/rescue, etc.) on a single USB key. It works great for everything (including Ubuntu Live) except the CentOS 6.4 LiveCD. (You can see my postings at the bottom of the forum.) When booting the LiveCD, I got: Kernel panic - not syncing:

I tried to boot from my 6.0 USB key, no joy. Updated it to 6.2. Still no joy: it gets started, I do the disk layout, it formats the drives, and then fails, saying that it can't find "image# 1". Over in the log, I see a lot of it not finding any drive at all, yet all the h/d drives and sda2, which is what the USB key is, and where the linux partition is, are mounted. Guys, any idea

This is an issue I've researched quite a bit on bug lists, and looked in the Syslinux Wiki for a way to do this, but haven't yet found a solution. 1) I have an existing Fedora 13 LiveCD which I burned to a CD and tested on a system without issue. 2) I then took that same ISO and dropped it in my pxelinux.cfg/default for being able to boot over the network. I made sure to extract the

Patch set fixes issues with image size increase when using edit-livecd Also address issue with ext4 root fs

Hi all, On a F18, I installed livecd-tools-18.15-1 I downloaded CenOS6.x minimal .iso and with livecd-iso-to-disk the resulting USB is never bootable: the computer doesnt boot on it. Tested on many computers. The fact is I succeded to install CentOS on a Netbook (no CD/DVD tray), but I dont remember how I invoked livecd-iso-to-disk. I tried with many combinations (/dev/sdc is the USB

This is the second generation of the edit-livecd tool that replaces our original bash script with a python version and aims to reuse as much as the livecd-creator libraries as possible. The main reason for the new creator class is to avoid the need for a kisckstart file in order to edit an existing livecd image. edit-livecd is useful for people who don't have the development and yum

I have read many Centos webpages and mail archives but found only raw descriptions of the build process. My first aim is to rebuild CentOS-6.4-x86_64-LiveCD.iso using the Centos repositories and preferably without recompiling the SRPMs, just to verify the build process. My final aim is to create a Centos LiveOS contain the packages in CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso plus some network configuration

This enables the ability to take the ovirt-node-image iso and deploy it to an iscsi disk. It also provides a sample pxe configuration for booting based on the iscsi root device.

Hi, i have implemented in xorriso the equivalents of isohybrid.c options --mac and --uefi. There remains the question how to ensure that the submitted MBR is prepared for the 32 byte mock-up of an APM Block0.

I recently made a Live USB by using the directions in the LiveCD Trac. It works very well, but I was wondering if there is a way the partition - in my case, /dev/sda1, can be made writable. I tried changing the kickstart file to mount everything RW, but it did not work. I know I can always create a second partition on the pendrive, but I would like all filesystems accessible by both CentOS and

Current Installation: CentOS 7.1503 with SerNet Samba 4 ver. 4.1.17 configured as Active Directory Domain Controller. Current Installation: HP Workstation with dual Xeon quadcore cpu's and 4 x SATA hard drives NOT configured in RAID array. New Installation: CentOS 7.1503 minimal install New Installation: SuperMicro with single Xeon quadcore cpu and 4 x SATA hard drives configured in two pairs

Going through the steps for putting a LiveCD on a USB stick, I'm reading the docs and one is a bit ambiguous on one point: <https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki/GetToolset> says: "The LiveCD creation process requires a kickstart configuration file." But two lines above that, is says the kickstart config file is optional. I've created a couple LiveCDs in the past

Hi, I've been trying to setup a dual livecd. However I am getting an error with parsing the isolinux.cfg.

Hello, I have a RAID5 array on my CentOS 5.6 x86_64 workstation which "suddenly" failed to work (actually after the system could not resume from a suspend). I had recently issues after moving the workstation to another office, where one of the disks got accidently unplugged. But the RAID was working and it had reconstructed (as far as I can tell) the data. After I replugged the disk,
