Subject: [cobalt-users] RaQ4i : Customised operating system 
restore CD / OSRCD


In the process of rebuilding a RaQ4i and am having problems creating a
customised OS restore CD. I'm using the latest 960-RAQ40101BU.iso from
ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/iso and have added all the PKG files from
RaQ4-All-System-0.0.1-7657.pkg to 
RaQ4-All-Security-2.0.1-16620.pkg into the
NFSROOT_X86\BTO_SYNC\BUNDLES directory as per Bruce 
Timberlake's directions on
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2002-May/070800.html

I can build a "vanilla" restore CD without any problems, 
however as soon as I
try using a version with the added PKG files I get the 
following error message
during the boot process (I'm using a network boot; the 
following message is
displayed on the machine with the OSRCD in):

Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

It might be worthy of note that I'm modifying the ISO using 
WinISO on WinXP and
am writing the CD from an Apple Mac :-)

Thanks in advance.

When you built the "vanilla" CD, did you modify it at all on your winXP
Machine or just write it directly to CD?

I suspect that the permissions on some of the files are getting removed. We
wen't throught this about a year ago and finally decided to put together a
Linux partition just for modifying ISO images (a lot less headaches).
