[17:30] <ogra_> hmpf, why dont we have a serial version of the mini iso
[17:30] <ogra_> i'm trying to adjust it, but whatever mkisofs produces for me doesnt boot
[17:31] <ogra_> even if i just use it unchanged
[17:53] <ogra_> cjwatson, do we anything special to mkisofs recently ?
[19:21] <infinity> ogra_: We don't use mkisofs for the miniiso, we use genisoimage.
[19:21] <infinity> ogra_: See build/config/x86.cfg (search for MINIISO) in debian-installer.
[19:22] <ogra_> yeah, i tried to scrap that out of the d-i buildlog
[19:22] <ogra_> but neither works
[19:22] <ogra_> i created an USB syslinux boot thingy by hand now
[19:22] <infinity> ogra_: Anyhow, I'm a bit confused by your need for a "serial" ISO...
[19:23] <infinity> ogra_: Booting with console=ttyS0 should Just Work, no?
[19:23] <ogra_> infinity, how do i inject that ?
[19:23] <ogra_> i was to lazy to set up a tftp server
[19:23] <infinity> Oh, for mini.iso, yeah, I guess I could see the chicken and egg issue there. :P
[19:23] <ogra_> dd'ing the iso to usb as i usually do keeps the iso filesystem
[19:23] <infinity> I don't tend to think of serial-only people as people who use CD drives.
[19:23] <infinity> Or physical media in general.
[19:24] <ogra_> yeah, i got new firewall HW ... :)
[19:25] <ogra_> i thought i could just mount the iso, copy the contents, modify txt.cfg and isolinux.cfg and re-roll the iso
[19:25] <ogra_> but no matter what command i use it wouldnt boot
[19:25] <infinity> Well, that would leave you without the el torito bits.
[19:25] <davmor2> ogra_: the missus unplugs the internet ever time you try and work out of hours too then ;)
[19:25] <ogra_> haha
[19:45] <cjwatson> ogra_: afaik nothing's changed recently
[19:51] <ogra_> well, i got it installed now
[19:52] <ogra_> (not sure what i need a 64bit 4G dual core firewall for with my 2MBit ... but the old one is giving up)
[19:52] <ogra_> (and the hardware is just lovely)
