Porteus module activation status

[jssouza]

Sequence is still extramods, then porteus/base mods, then changes.

Yes I know, because I havent looked into yet . I would have to create your exact setup, so it would take some time to recreate your scenario. I have checked porteus extracted to a drive and porteus executed from a cd and both have the base modules loaded first and then the extramods.

I see you use the from=/path/to/iso cheatcode and your extramods are in some partition. What about the kernel and the initrd? Are they pre-extracted out of the iso for the bootloader?

Hi Ed_P,

I recreated your setup partially - booted to cinnamon 3.2rc5 iso using the from=cheatcode and also used extramod cheatcode. I was able to recreate your issue.

The reason for the issue is because of what you mentioned earlier in this same thread in a post yesterday:

Interesting that /var/log/porteus-livedbg shows the Booting device: as /mnt/isoloop when it's true path for me is /mnt/live/mnt/isoloop.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# ls /mnt/isoloop
/bin/ls: cannot access '/mnt/isoloop': No such file or directory
root@porteus:/home/guest# ls /mnt/isoloop/
/bin/ls: cannot access '/mnt/isoloop/': No such file or directory
root@porteus:/home/guest# ls /mnt/isoloop/*
/bin/ls: cannot access '/mnt/isoloop/*': No such file or directory
root@porteus:/home/guest# ls /mnt/live/mnt/isoloop/
EFI/  USB_INSTALLATION.txt  boot/  porteus/
root@porteus:/home/guest# 

So, because the path to isoloop is wrong, the problem occurred. I have fixed it in the script below with a workaround. (It is a one line change - just search for #isoloop fix in the script).

Code: Select all

I will also report the wrong path issue, since it also occurs on 3.2rc5. Now, if and when brokenman fixes this, this script would break (because of the workaround). So I would then suggest that you keep this version of your script for your 3.0.1 and use the previous version for 3.2 when it gets fixed there. Or, this same script on both versions.

Thanks jssouza.

Wouldn't this work:

Code: Select all

if [ "$BOOTDEV" == "/mnt/isoloop" ]; then
   BOOTDEV="/mnt/image/$BOOTDEV"
fi

BTW The system modules are still showing at the bottom.

Hi Ed_P,

Coming to you now live from Porteus RazorQT 3.0.1! I downloaded this iso from the archives of dl.porteus.org. I executed the script and saw that the base modules come first and then the extramods.

This is my configuration

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ cat /proc/cmdline 
quiet BOOT_IMAGE=/porteus301/vmlinuz from=/porteus301/razor.iso extramod=/porteus301/extramodules

Could you upload me a snapshot of your output?

Thanks!

[jssouza]

It's very intrigiung, as to why it works here and does not at your side.

Could you give me the output of losetup -a please? Also, ls -l /mnt/live/mnt/isoloop/porteus

EDIT: I did find a difference in your screenshot. While the containing directory field should show only directory names, your screenshot shows the xzm module name also.
eg: /mnt/live/mnt/isoloop/porteus/base/000-kernel.xzm

[Bogomips]

screenshot shows the xzm module name also.
eg: /mnt/live/mnt/isoloop/porteus/base/000-kernel.xzm

A peculirity that also stood out for me. Believe 000-kernel.xzm is a directory name in the union. If not mistaken, the coding is to be seen in linuxrc.

Hi Bogomips,

You are right, technically they are directories in /mnt/live/memory/images, but do not look good in the display. Probably have to strip it off in the script.

Hi Ed_P,

You have showed me /mnt/live/mnt/isoloop/porteus. Could you also go one level deeper and show me the output of ls -l /mnt/live/mnt/isoloop/porteus/base/

I see you also have cinnamon 3.2rc5 booted in similar way (isoloop). Does the script show the base modules at the end there too? Also, I saw your 3.0.1 razorqt iso has a -nu at the end. I did not find this in the server. Is that a recreated iso?

Thanks!

I boot all my harddrive alternate OSs as ISOs via Grub4Dos or Grub2Win.

Does the script show the base modules at the end there too?

Also, I saw your 3.0.1 razorqt iso has a -nu at the end. I did not find this in the server. Is that a recreated iso?

Apparently but I don't remember why or what changed. Do you have the 00* fix modules also?

[brokenman]

If you are checking all conditions, don't forget the scenario where one boots via iso and uses copy2ram.

[Ed_P]

If you are checking all conditions, don't forget the scenario where one boots via iso and uses copy2ram.

If one boots via an iso isn't the iso in ram so why would one need to use copy2ram?

[brokenman]

They wouldn't. But if they did you would find a different set of circumstances in /mnt/live/ which have to be taken into account when scripting.
