System Rescue CD

[sugardave]

So, for my first trick I thought I'd try to create a customized System Rescue CD (http://sysresccd.org/).

I've failed, so far, but here's what I've done.

Downloaded the PPC version. Followed the "How to make a customized kernel" instructions. Found that the PS3 doesn't really behave like a PPC in regards to the sysresccd, since there is no yaboot.conf or special Power boot partition. I've never looked at power architecture before, so I may just be ignorant here.

Downloaded the x86 version. Followed the "How to make a customized kernel" instructions. This went okay, except the part where I needed to cat imagefs through create_compressed_fs, so I ran that part on an x86 vmware image I have and made my ISO.

Where I am now:

I have this "hybrid" sysresccd that I can't seem to figure out how to make kboot use.

Are there any kboot gurus around?

I thought that if I was able to recompile the PS3 kernel and 'make zImage' that I could just build the ISO with that and somehow configure kboot to use /dev/cdrom/boot/vmlinuz1, etc.

Are you saying that running the imagefs through cat on x86 is going to be the issue?
