Hi,
I am trying to build a bootcd with Kernel 2.6.17.
After a minimal install the system was patched to the latest. I then
installed bootcd and bootcd-mkinitrd. When bootcdwrite is performed I get
a lot of "did shrink" errors for the /sys filesystem.
--- Creating CD-Image ---
Size of boot image is 4 sectors -> No emulation
mkisofs: File
'/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/power/state'
did shrink.
exit=255
--- OUTPUT from <mkisofs -graft-points -R -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c

An image of 16Mb is then created and is junk.
I realised if you mount the /dev/sda1 on /mnt/tmp and change the
bootcdwrite.conf then the whole process completes without issue (>?) and I
get an image that looks a better size. During the build you get these
warnings:

The bootcdmkinitrd process appears to go without problem, and I think it's
going to work, however...
During the boot process, the first errors I see are devfs errors. They are
followed by problems finding files, then terminating with no console
access and "INIT: ID "?" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes" for
each runlevel.
mount: Mounting devfs on devfs failed: No such device
umount: Couldn't umount /devfs: Invalid argument
running /scripts/bootcd
find: /usr/lib: No such file or directory
FATAL: Module <lots> not found
Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevd.
Synthesizing the initial hotplug events...done.
Waiting for /dev to be fully populated...input: PC Speaker as
/class/input/input1
INIT: ID "?" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
As far as I am aware there is no longer any support for devfs, it has been
replaced by udev. The DEVFS option in the bootcdwrite.conf file is off and
complains if you set it on.
Any help, advice, or failing that sympathy in this would be greatly
appreciated.
