Package: live-build Version: 2.0.12-2 Severity: wishlist If a net image is built, then currently /usr/share/live/build/scripts/build/lb_chroot_hacks forces chroot/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to contain:
MODULES=netboot BOOT=nfs NFSROOT=auto if it did not already have MODULES=netboot in it. Despite doing a netboot, I would like the user to have access to any local block devices at initramfs time in case the user wishes to use persistence. With MODULES=netboot, the user will only ever see loop devices at this point. I have confirmed that setting MODULES=most still results in a working netboot, and also does allow for persistence to work. As far as I can see, lb_chroot_hacks happens after chroot_local-hooks or -includes so it is not possible to provide my own chroot/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf file. At the moment, the messy workaround I have is to use a hook to ensure that chroot/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf already contains: MODULES=netboot MODULES=most BOOT=nfs NFSROOT=auto Since the file then already contains the string "MODULES=netboot", lb_chroot_hacks does not modify it further. Possibly the initramfs could just always have MODULES=most as it doesn't make it very much bigger. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages live-build depends on: ii debootstrap 1.0.26+squeeze1 Bootstrap a basic Debian system Versions of packages live-build recommends: ii cpio 2.11-4 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii gnu-fdisk 1.2.4-3 Linux fdisk replacement based on l Versions of packages live-build suggests: pn dosfstools <none> (no description available) ii fakeroot 1.14.4-1 Gives a fake root environment pn genisoimage <none> (no description available) ii grub-legacy [grub] 0.97-64 GRand Unified Bootloader (Legacy v pn memtest86+ | memtest <none> (no description available) pn mtools <none> (no description available) pn parted <none> (no description available) pn squashfs-tools | gen <none> (no description available) ii sudo 1.7.4p4-2.squeeze.2 Provide limited super user privile ii uuid-runtime 2.17.2-9 runtime components for the Univers pn win32-loader <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
