https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=352077 Summary: Kiwi generated USB-Stick image cannot boot on different machines Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: seife@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: jcborn@novell.com Found By: Development Using the config file for the 10.3 live CD, i built a "10.3 live USB Stick". This worked very well and is running fine. But when i tried to use it on another machine, it did only boot up in text mode. I found out that i could force the creation of a new xorg.conf by simply removing the old one and rebooting. It would be a nice feature, however, if i had a third boot option (besides "10.3 [USB]" and "10.3 Failsafe [USB]" named "10.3 reconfigure [USB]" which would then trigger a new hardware detection like on the first boot. For the xorg.conf part, i edited /etc/init.d/create_xconf to look like this: -------- case "$1" in start) echo -n "Creating X Config" # create config file if not yet done if [ "$RECONFIGURE" = yes -o "$RECONFIGURE" = 1 ]; then rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf fi if [ ! -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf ];then test -e /proc/splash && echo verbose > /proc/splash /usr/sbin/sax2 -c 0 -a -i &>/dev/null test -e /proc/splash && echo silent > /proc/splash fi rc_status -v ;; stop) ;; ------- so now i can start with "RECONFIGURE=yes" (which ideally would be added to an extra entry in menu.lst) and it will reconfigure the X server. Maybe this is needed for other stuff, too, can be implemented one after the other then. -- 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.
