Remastering Problems

[yoshu]

Hello,

I am remastering kanotix Cebit, and running into problems. I have successfully remastered kanotix 2005-04 64 bit, so I'm really frustrated. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I have followed the steps exactly as http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Knoppix_Remastering_Howto

I have changed /mnt/hda1/knx to /media/sda3/knx

my problems start here:

mkisofs -R -U -V "KNOPPIX.net filesystem" -publisher "KNOPPIX www.knoppix.net" \
-hide-rr-moved -cache-inodes -no-bak -pad /media/sda3/knx/source/KNOPPIX \
| nice -5 /usr/bin/create_compressed_fs - 65536 > /media/sda3/knx/master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

does not work (it creates a small file) so change the last line to:
| nice -5 /usr/bin/create_compressed_fs - 65536 > /mnt/hda1/knx/source/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

All appears well, it takes about 15 minutes for the image to be made. When finished I then:

cd /media/sda3/knx/master and

mkisofs -pad -l -r -J -v -V "KNOPPIX" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table -b boot/grub/iso9660_stage1_5 -c boot/grub/boot.cat \
-hide-rr-moved -o /media/sda3/knx/knoppix.iso /media/knx/inertia/master

(i changed boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin to boot/grub/iso9660_stage1_5 and boot/isolinux/boot.cat to boot/grub/boot.cat)

I then get this error :

Uh oh, I can't find the boot catalog directory in 'boot/grub'!

Please help, I've been up for days and don't know what else to do.

I have been successful at this step now:

mkisofs -R -U -V "Inertia filesystem" -publisher "InertiaOS" \
-hide-rr-moved -cache-inodes -no-bak -pad /media/sda3/inertia/source/KNOPPIX \
| nice -5 /usr/bin/create_compressed_fs - 65536 > /media/sda3/inertia/master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

(I deleted the directorty /media/sda3/inertia/master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX - I'm not sure how it was created)

But I still get the same error at the next step:

Uh oh, I can't find the boot catalog directory in 'boot/grub'!

And yes boot.cat is in boot/grub

Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful.

Hi !

While in your master directory just do a

cp -a cdrom/boot .

And it worked for me
