[SOLVED] mkarchiso: ERROR: failed to detect root filesystem

hi guys!
i am now trying to build my own live archlinux distribution with archiso and with the command "mkarchiso"
at the first step in installing the base when it installs linux and execute "mkinitcpio" it shows me this error:

( 73/111) installing linux                                                                                          [#####################################################################] 100%

i continue the process with that error and in the "run" step i did this command

# mkarchiso -w work/x86_64/ -r mkinitcpio -p linux run
[root@fuhrer livecd]# mkarchiso -w work/x86_64/ -r mkinitcpio -p linux run

and the big problem shows when i build the iso file and "dd" it to USB disk, when i choose to boot the live archlinux it tell me

ERROR: failed to detect root filesystem

and that you cannot log to tty

any suggestions?

Re: [SOLVED] mkarchiso: ERROR: failed to detect root filesystem

If you're having some further problem with mkarchiso, explain that instead. What you see here isn't a problem for the generated ISO ....

Re: [SOLVED] mkarchiso: ERROR: failed to detect root filesystem

the problem is when i try to boot the generated ISO it tells me that "it cannot detect root filesystem" and "u cannot log into tty"

Re: [SOLVED] mkarchiso: ERROR: failed to detect root filesystem

Hello

mkarchiso is a helper script, but you need to do some steps than just running it against default mkinitcpio.conf. See the "baseline" [#1] profile for the right example for the most simple case, and look at "releng" [#2] profile to see how can be customized.

Re: [SOLVED] mkarchiso: ERROR: failed to detect root filesystem

First run it, without any modification to learn how it works. Check if works. Modify as you need. Check if works...
Do not worry about the mkinitcpio error, because such initramfs images should not be used for boot live medium. You can see that profiles uses own mkinitcpio.conf with at least archiso hook wink
Running mkarchiso directly is not the right way, at least if you do not know how things works.

Re: [SOLVED] mkarchiso: ERROR: failed to detect root filesystem

Nice.

That is another thing unrelated to archiso. Please search on forums or open a new topic and mark this as [SOLVED]. Thanks.
