Re: Kernel Panic Live USB

#31 Post by fehlix »

Maybe something related to the initrd_release file inserted into /etc/live_initrd with snapshot:

Code: Select all

NAME="MX"
VERSION="23.2_ahs (Libretto)
ID="mx"
VERSION_ID="23.2_"
PRETTY_NAME="MX 23.2_ahs (Libretto)"
ANSI_COLOR="0;34"
HOME_URL="https://mxlinux.org"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://mxlinux.org"
BASE=MX
where the missing ["] double-quotes in the 2nd line
VERSION="23.2_ahs (Libretto)
breaks the live init.
The above is from the iso posted.

So for anybody does have the kernal panic issue:
Do check and fix the VERSION line in /etc/initrd_relase

Code: Select all

sudo nano  /etc/live_initrd
and add missing double-quotes to the VERSION-line
before making the snapshot.
looks something like this, here for the MX-23.2 ahs installation:

Code: Select all

VERSION="23.2_ahs (Libretto)"

#33 Post by siamhie »

Flashed my snapshot to another thumb drive with MX Live USB Maker and booted fine.
I do have two kernels on this system. linux-image-6.1.0-17-amd64 and linux-image-6.7.1-1-liquorix-amd64.

I see Ventoy has an update (1.0.97) and will upgrade to see if it fixes MY issue.

This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

ah very good @fehlix

my working snapshots have a single quote.

the non-working ones have a weird double quote instead of a missing one in the VERSION line.

same for the /etc/initrd_release file in the main file system.

That may be the culprit cause till now (including the other thread by shmu26) all complaints were with KDE and AHS .

not that I'm one to not make a typo ( :cool: ), but I don't think this time.

its in the generation of the file during the snapshot somewhere I think. the /etc/initrd_release on the system being snapshotted is correct.

Can't reproduce. It's here always a copy of /etc/inird_release within the live initrd.
That's, what snapshot is doing, just a copy.
