I had to erase the file named: “config.isoclient”
and i renamed the file “config.kde.isoclient” to “config.isoclient”.

Anyone who can explain me, why the original file was empty and what the entries in the other file are for?
Thanks in advance.

As a little unexperienced SUSE beginner, i’m glad that i’ve found this tutorial.
But i got stuck now.

I used the Live-CD-Image from this source: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/iso/openSUSE-11.1-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso
and modified the initrdud as described above.

The only exception is the linuxrc-file, there was no line like “/bin/sh” where i could start to display the executed commands. The other shell called in the first line is taken out with a comment-sign “#”, so i didn’t know how to display the called commands in the terminal window.

The Stick will boot but i get this lines (copied by hand):

—-begin of copy—–
…

—–> Probing module: ata_piix
—–> Probing module: uhci-hcd
—–> Probing module: ehci-hcd
cddevs /dev/sda /dev/sdb
i /dev/sda1
cddev /dev/sda1
i /dev/sdb1
cddev /dev/sda1:/dev/sdb1
—–> Mounting live boot drive…
—–> Failed to mount RW root filesystem
—–> shellException: providing shell…
(none):/ #

—-end of copy—–

Booting from a real Live-CD works fine.
Has anybody a hint for me, why the filesystem will not be mounted?
Thanks in advance.

Is there is a solution for this error “Failed to detect CD drive !” ?
I tried to make my initrdud but it’s always the same. I always have this error .

Thanks in advance

test -z $cddev && cddev=$devi || cddev=$cddev:$devi

I’ll be update with the requested initrdud.Thanks for your info.

Nice guide, but I found 2 mistakes-

1) The mount command formatting is not correct. Maybe it is caused by wiki-markup issues.
2) You mkdir /mnt/squash but then mount it to /media/squash 🙂

Thanks!
