Package: bootcd
Version: 3.12
Followup-For: Bug #474148
I noticed a few things stopping a bootcd iso from correctly booting off usb
and sata cdrom drives. First, as someone already mentioned, was that sr_mod
was not being loaded. I corrected this by adding 'sr_mod' to
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules. Then I added the module to the manual modules
variable in bootcdmodprobe:
diff bootcdmodprobe bootcdmodprobe.old
35c35
< MANUAL_MODULES="scsi_mod usb-storage floppy ide-detect
ide-generic ide-floppy ide-cd isofs ide-disk ehci-hcd ohci-hcd uhci-hcd
ehci-hcd sr_mod"
---
MANUAL_MODULES="scsi_mod usb-storage floppy ide-detect ide-generic
ide-floppy ide-cd isofs ide-disk ehci-hcd ohci-hcd uhci-hcd usb-uhci uhci usb-ohci
ehci-hcd"
** I removed usb-uhci, uhci and usb-ohci because they were not being loaded.
The next problem was that anything past scd0 was not loading due to incorret
minors in bootcdproberoot.
diff bootcdproberoot bootcdproberoot.old

After making the above changes we have succusfully booted off many usb and
sata cd-rom drive. Yipee!
