[Bug 485528] New: mkbootdisk can't create boot usb flash on Gentoo
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485528 Summary: mkbootdisk can't create boot usb flash on Gentoo Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Live Medium AssignedTo: coolo@novell.com ReportedBy: mhrusecky@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: mzugec@novell.com Found By: --- I tried to create installation USB flash disk from 11.1 media on Gentoo and I failed. Tried to make all errors non-critical (changed dies to prints) to be able to post how far does it get. Without that it failes with 'activate failed'. I got following output: misibook michal # LANG="" /tmp/mkbootdisk --32 --partition /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cdrom disk /dev/sdb, partition /dev/sdb1 error: activate failed cp: cannot create regular file `/tmp/mkbootdisk.EezXbkmQEK/mp/branding/silent-1024x768.jpg': File exists cp: cannot create regular file `/tmp/mkbootdisk.EezXbkmQEK/mp/branding/bootsplash-800x600.jpg': File exists cp: cannot create regular file `/tmp/mkbootdisk.EezXbkmQEK/mp/branding/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg': File exists cp: cannot create regular file `/tmp/mkbootdisk.EezXbkmQEK/mp/branding/bootsplash-1280x1024.jpg': File exists cp: cannot create regular file `/tmp/mkbootdisk.EezXbkmQEK/mp/branding/bootsplash-800x600.cfg': File exists error: copy failed After that syslinux loads fine, but it says it can't find linux image. I know that there may be some different version of some component or different branding on my Gentoo, but errors posted above aren't very helpfull with identifing problem. -- 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.

error: activate failed
That would be the missing 'activate' tool from the lilo package. Don't really know about the cp errors. Permission problem? -- 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.
