system-rescuecd fails to find the root filesystem
by vonbiber from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5QAA4)
I couldn't find a forum dedicated to system-rescuecd.
As it is based on arch, I thought I could post here.
I already had an external USB hard drive (syslinux) bootable.
I installed some of the files that I extracted from
systemrescue-8.05-amd64.iso to it.
Code:#ls /mnt/sdb1/sysresccd
VERSION pkglist.x86_64.txt x86_64/mnt/sdb1/boot contains, among other files,
amd_ucode.*, intel_ucode.* and my syslinux menu (main.cfg)
It also contains a subfolder sysrc with 2 files:
Code:#ls /mnt/sdb1/boot/sysrc
sysresccd.img vmlinuzI added this entry to the menu main.cfg
Code:label sysrc
menu label SystemRescueCD 8.05
kernel /boot/sysrc/vmlinuz
append initrd=/boot/intel_ucode.img,/boot/sysrc/sysresccd.img \
archisobasedir=sysresccd archisolabel=RESCUE805 copytoramI tried to boot from that usb drive.
But systemrescue couldn't find the root filesystem.
I got this error message
Code:ERROR: /dev/disk/by-label' device did not show up after 30 seconds...And yet, in the console I was left with, this device did show up
when I run
Code:# ls /dev/disk/by-label
Qubes-83.2-x86_64 RESCUE805and I could mount it and see its contents.
30 seconds is a pretty long delay. Should I try to increase it (60 seconds) or is there anything else I should do in order for the
root filesystem to become visible?
