kiwi: LiveCD not installable on Netbook with USB CD/DVD Drive
Last modified: 2009-07-23 16:29:49 UTC
LiveCD is not installable on Netbook with USB CD Drive. I've tested Milestone 3 and Milestone 4 M3: openSUSE-GNOME-LiveCD-Build0148-i686.iso M4: openSUSE-GNOME-LiveCD-Build0180-i686.iso ==> [...] ==> Waiting for USB devices to settle .... ==> Waiting for CD/DVD device(s) to appear ... ==> Searching for USB stick device ... ==> Failed to detect DCV/DVD or USB driver ! ==> rebootExeception: error console at Alt-F3/F4 ==> rebootException: reboot in 120 sec
please boot with kiwidebug=1 and get /var/log/boog.kiwi
Created attachment 307180 [details] boot.kiwi
Hmm, hwinfo --cdrom did not detect any CD/DVD devices. Could you check which block devices are registered by the kernel: ls -l /sys/block I put Steffen to CC
ls -l /sys/block total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram0 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram1 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram10 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram10 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram11 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram11 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram12 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram12 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram13 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram13 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram14 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram14 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram15 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram15 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram2 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram3 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram4 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram5 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram6 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram7 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram8 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 ram9 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram9 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:17 sda -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 23 16:18 sdb -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-8/1-8:1.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0/block/sdb
sdb is the USB stick, so I could transfer this information.
there is no CD/DVD device emulated by QEMU, are you sure you called qemu like this: qemu -cdrom /path/to/livecd/iso/file.iso ?
Why qemu? I'm using a physical CD drive for the the LiveCD!
sorry my fault, just saw that in the log well hwinfo did not see any CD/DVD device just boot with kiwidebug=1 you will get a shell in that case and try to check why there is no CD/DVD device available I will set that to needinfo on Steffen now
Stefan, please run getsysinfo and attach the tar. Which one is the cdrom device, btw?
Well, there is no getsysinfo command on this system. It's a USB CD/DVD drive from Medion (Model No. SD-100). "hwinfo --cdrom" doesn't return anything.
Seems to be related to our Medion USB CD/DVD drive. With a different one (LG GP08) LiveCD works fine.
