Netshroud Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I've come across a wierd bug, anyone know what's wrong? Ubuntu 9.04 Live boots fine from ISO. Ubuntu 9.04 Persistent drops to a BusyBox shell. The only difference is the word "persistent" in the kernel line. I have a cleanly made casper-rw in the root of my USB. I'll try modify the initrd scripts later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain724 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 If there is anything wrong with the casper-rw file, Ubuntu will not boot. Verify that you did create the casper-rw file correctly and not fragmented. (When I made mine, I forgot to format it and the exact same thing happened to me). ~Rain724 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H@L0_F00 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Maybe the casper file(s) has to be in a folder named "casper" on your root like with BT4 without editing your init scripts? And just so you know, I don't think it's the init script itself that finds and mounts the casper file system, init calls a bunch of other scripts. I plan on working on figuring out how to move around the casper folder though which shouldn't be too hard or time consuming since I've messed with Ophcrack successfully.

Netshroud Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 So casper-rw also has to be contiguous? Thanks, running contig now, will test when its done. Without modifying init scripts, casper-rw has to be in the root. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without modifying init scripts, casper-rw has to be in the root. I think he/she/it means that if there is any error in the file system of casper-rw it won't boot. Like maybe you didn't specify a command while making it, assuming you made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netshroud Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Well I ran contig, and it defragged the file from 51 frags to 1, and it worked. It doesn't work on my school computers though, I'll see what I can do here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain724 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 So casper-rw also has to be contiguous?The contiguous part was a guess :P Well I ran contig, and it defragged the file from 51 frags to 1, and it worked.

Netshroud Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Oh. Yes, Ubuntu Live boots on the school computers. I just remade the casper-rw file, and persistent mode still gets an error relating to fd0 - wtf? It doesn't *have* a floppy drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
