live cd
Re: live cd
Hi perdidostone
Didn't experienced your boot problem here. Of course, I used virtualbox, maybe I should try on a physical CD-ROM to double check.
root password is: live

What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.

You found a bug!
When I tried booting from a physical CD-ROM, I had the same error message.

Re: live cd
Who still uses CD roms? Boot from USB instead! *scnr*
Re: live cd
I've found a fix for the problem. The next live release should work on real hardware too. If you want to try the current one:
Anyway this fixes yours and Akuna's problem on real hardware.
- Install grub2 from here: http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/package ... 86-1ab.txz
- Download these 3 files and put them into one directory:
http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/livegrub2/build.tar.bz2
http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/livegrub2/build.sh
http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/livegrub2/grub.cfg - Extract the build.tar.bz2 file to that directory
- Run in that directory (of course you need the beta1 ISO too):
Code: Select all
bash ./build.sh --out=salixlive-13.0-beta1.1.iso --overlay=/path/to/salixlive-13.0-beta1.iso --overlay=build/ --grubcfg=grub.cfg
- After a few minutes the ISO should have been rebuilt as salixlive-13.0-beta1.1.iso in the working directory
Anyway this fixes yours and Akuna's problem on real hardware.
Re: live cd
Built a new iso with this script & 'real' CD-ROM do work now.
But keyboard selection from grub boot menu does not seem to be taken into account.

Re: live cd
Did you check /proc/cmdline wether grub2 passed the right parameters? Could you do so if not, please.
Re: live cd
But qwerty/us.map definitely got loaded instead.BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet lang=fr_FR.utf8 keyboard=fr-latin9
Quickly checked rc.live & noticed the keyboard cheatcode has been removed from it...
Is it meant to be handled somewhere else now?
BTW the proper cheatcode syntax used to be keyb=
Has that changed too or might this be the reason why it doesn't work?

Re: live cd
You can add a custom script which changes the keyboard to your wishes, e. g. you type at the grub boot prompt the additional cheatcode
keyb=de
for a german keyboard, the script could do the following:
Then the script should change
into
in a state before hal will be started.
Just an idea ...

cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
