If no --root option is given kiwi will search for the attribute defaultroot in config.xml If no root directory is known a mktmp directory will be created and used as root directory [ --base-root <base-path> ] Refers to an already prepared root tree.

However, I've been browsing through some documentation to see what to do next, without much success. So, looking more at this, this is what I have found out: 1) image is mountable locally via a 'loopback' 2) Running 'dd' against the image and dumping it on a USB stick does not make it bootable even though a partition on the USB has a 'boot' flag set. I'd like to test the image more but I cannot make it boot off of the stick. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

zypper --non-interactive --no-gpg-checks --root "/tmp/myphysical" service-add --type YaST 'cd:///?devices kiwi17-5450

But there is a value "cd:///?devices=/dev/sr0" for that source. Is it wrongly formatted in xml? Or does kiwi mangle the value on the way to zypper? Or aren't the CD/iso sources not supported at all?

kiwi passes the path value if it doesn't match any of the supported URL types. cd:// is not relevant for kiwi itself and so it appears as specified in config.xml BUT there is a function called KIWIURL::quote() this function checks the url path according to RFC 2396 Uniform Resource Identifiers. Maybe this check changes the URL in a way which leads to the error -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
