[gentoo-catalyst] LiveCD - mtab

[gentoo-catalyst] LiveCD - mtab

[Robert Paskowitz]

Trudging along with my LiveCD, I'm down to just one bug.

While booting the completed ISO, after the initrd is filling the 
filesystem, I get the following:

 >> Booting.warning: can't open /etc/mtab: No such file or directory
..
Segmentation fault
*: Failed to unmount the initrd!

I believe all the messages are directly releated, and it is all 
non-fatal. The bootup continues and the CD works fine. Ideally though, 
the initrd will get unmounted, and users won't need to fret upon seeing 
a segfault.

Anyone seen this one before?

I get that on all the LiveCDs that I've made. I've been assured it's purely 
cosmetic. Nothing to worry about.

I've had it on about 3 of 6 cds for this current project. Unfortunatly 
it's hard to track down where it's coming from with all teh catalyst and 
livecd-tools upgrades that have been going on. In the interest of making 
it cosmetically nicer, I'll dive into looking for what is causing it in 
a few days time.

r2d2 in #-hardened has been making some hardened X livecds and they keep having
that same problem too. You might chat with him and see what he thinks.

Strange...

I haven't seen that before, at all.  I've been building, on average,
about 5 LiveCDs a day for the past 3 months and have yet to come across
it.  Are you using any non-stable packages in your build, like
baselayout?

Yeah, I apologize about all the upgrades recently, but I've been doing a
ton of work getting ready for the X-based LiveCD release.  Things should
calm down a good bit once the release is done.  After the initial huge
catalyst commit of everything I've been changing locally and not
committing to CVS yet (due to testing it).

Ha, Ok r2d2 just told me is the Robert Paskowitz that emailed this list
orginally. I feel so pwned right now. hehe (goes back into his hole)
