https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/itanium-live-boot-cd/m-p/3572161#M18373 I need to put a live boot/recuse CD together for Itanium, on the same basis as previously used for x86. I've had a go, encountered some problems and would like someone to check my logic: <BR /><BR />Create boot image file of type vfat to hold kernel and initrd <BR />Within that loopback filesystem, add initrd as an ext2 image of the root to be mounted . <BR /><BR />(The initrd mounts /usr as ro from CD) <BR /><BR />The problems I seem to be having are related to booting the boot.img file: I think my mkisofs command is OK but I'm confused by the directory structure under /boot. Normally we have just /boot with kernel, ramdisk etc under it - under ia64 we <BR />have /boot/efi, /boot/efi/efi and /boot/efi/efi/redhat. Looking at example boot CDs, these seem to have kernels and initrds under both /boot and /boot/efi/efi/redhat - since I can't do file links <BR />under vfat and copying initrd twice is prohibitive in terms of size, I'm stumped. My first attempt just gave a 'Not Found' message, by which I assume that I put boot.img in the wrong place. Does anyone have any advice/recommendations/good URLs? Where should I be putting my boot.img filesystem and how do I direct the boot to it? Any help gratefully appreciated.
