[Bug] initrd.img incomplete in xbmc live 10.0 - dreambo - 2010-12-22
Hi,
I have trayed xbmc live 10.0 with grub2 on an usb stick (fat32 formated), by using the iso file directly, like this :
Code:
menuentry "XBMCLive" {
set fromiso=/dev/sda1/iso/xbmc-10.0-live.iso
set iso=/iso/xbmc-10.0-live.iso
search -s root -f $iso
loopback loop $iso
set quiet=1
set gfxpayload="800x600"
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz isofrom=$fromiso video=vesafb boot=live xbmc=autostart,nodiskmount splash quiet loglevel=0 persistent quickreboot quickusbmodules notimezone noaccessibility noapparmor noaptcdrom noautologin noxautologin noconsolekeyboard nofastboot nognomepanel nohosts nokpersonalizer nolanguageselector nolocales nonetworking nopowermanagement noprogramcrashes nojockey nosudo noupdatenotifier nouser nopolkitconf noxautoconfig noxscreensaver nopreseed union=aufs
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img
}and it does not work for 2 reasons :
1- the script /scripts/live inside initrd.img uses the dirname command, but this command does not exist anywhere, even as a standalone command nor a busybox applet!
2- i have make a new initrd.img with dirname in /usr/bin/ but it have an other issue: it can not mount the stick (mount: illegal argument) perhabs the vfat module is not loaded.
But if I put my iso in my HDD ext4 partition, it works perfectly with my modified initrd.img
It will be perfect if we can use the isofrom sheetcode like this: isofrom=/iso/xbmc-live.iso instead of isofrom=/dev/sda1/iso/xbmc-live.iso (the usb stick will works in any PC)
thank you for maintainig xbmc, the best media center in world
