Bugfix 98501 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98501) bloks my livecd from booting, after removing this line it boots fine. It just stops with; >> copying read-write image contents to tempfs The line is 208; chmod 755 ${NEW_ROOT}/$i After removing it works fine. I have tryed rebuilding the livecd and kernel a few times, this is the blocker. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Just make the genkernel, and boot it from a livecd Actual Results: The livecd wouldnt boot any more Expected Results: Done something to make it boot or at least show an error.
which version of catalyst are you using. please upgrade to higher than 1.1.10 if you havent already?
I do not use catalyst, because I think it sucks. I use http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_build_a_LiveCD_from_scratch which I partialy wrote because this is much more flexible, and I get a cd which is still able to compile loads of stuff from its own.
Works for some reason again with 3.2.2
Look slike it was a local configuration issue with your system, probably from using something other than catalyst to build. Amazing how people can criticize then don't even bother to contribute to make something better.
