neomorph Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I tried to create a Mandrake liveCD after reading abt it on the FAQ section...When I finally get down to giving the mklivecd command after installing everything mentioned in that post I get an error saying "module cloop.o not found" I use Mandrake 10.0 CE on the 2.6.3-4mdk kernel...can someone tell me how to fix this problem??

chris:b Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Using a kernel 2.6.x - you can't use the cloop compression to build the livecd. Use squashfs, thats the default for the 10.0 and kernel 2.6.x * Type: mklivecd --help *Don't specify in your build command the compression method, just go for the default * make sure you installed all dependencies from contrib * use the last stable mklivecd rpm version: 0.5.8, get it from: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfi...p?group_id=1149 http://livecd.berlios.de Good luck!

chris:b Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 (edited) Even without mentioning cloop...it doesnt work.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> * Add contrib to your urpmi sources. * As root: # urpmi cloop-utils cloop-utils is a *dependency* of the (running) mklivecd script even if you don't use it. Why? Because you 'could' use a kernel 2.4.x with cloop. * make sure you installed all dependencies from contrib edit: If you still get the error, then you are using the 'old' mklivecd script for Mandrake 9.2, which defaults to cloop * use the last stable mklivecd rpm version: 0.5.8, get it from: ...

chris:b Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Sorry, neomorph, have not been around much, lately. Not enough space - mmmh, depends on how big your partition is where you build the iso, how much RAM, how much swap. On the partition - example: You want to compress a system which has 1,7 GB. Then you would need ~ 3,4 empty space on this partition to build the iso. The build process produces first an uncompressed image in /tmp, then builds the final iso (700 MB), afterwards clean up tmp. You also need a big swap and/or much RAM. The 'exact' error message might tell you more ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neomorph Posted November 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 No I dont think u got me right...I was successful in creating the iso file but after i burnt it onto a cd and booted up i get this error message "cp: write error: No space left on device" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris:b Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 "cp: write error: No space left on device" Not enough RAM on the computer where you try to start the LiveCD, I'd say. How big is your iso image? Which DE? How many services in the background? How big is your home dir on the LiveCD? < --- all this (and more) will influence how mauch min RAM you need to start the cd. 256 MB for a full featured DE (KDE or Gnome) 128 MB for a 'basic' KDE with a small home, and services disabled 96 MB for xfce 64 MB for ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
