Bug Description

Hi,

it took me a while until I found the problem for this behavior. When you create a new ISO with currentliy NEW kernel, it will result in a not starting CD or USB-Stick.

Them problem is caused by Debian/Kernel/Syslinux changes (http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/svn/debian-installer/installer/debian/changelog) because they have changed file name from "TEXT.CFG" to "TXT.CFG".

=== from debian.org changelog =====
  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Rename syslinux *text.cfg files to *txt.cfg. This
    is needed because adamdtext.cfg is one character
    too long which means it was never actually included
    in the menu for multi-arch images.
===================================

So the module script "customize_iso" will not grep "INITRD.LZ" and so there is no update on that initrd disk. The startup params left as "initrd.lz" because the SED command will also not work and then there is no boot with normal startup params :-(

In "customize_iso" you need following patch, so that the script can handle OLD kernel with TEXT.CFG and nnew ones with TXT.CFG

I just tried 2.4.2 and that seems to have fixed the issue for me.

Yes. fix is working for iso.
But while booting installed from iso system I've got same error on the screen. System was able to boot.
but the error is still there even after reinstall of new kernel.

@anmg: This seems to be a different problem and I could not reproduce the behaviour you are reporting when booting from a system installed from an ISO generated with UCK 2.4.2. Can you please open a new bug report so this new issue can be tracked separately? Thanks.

Hi guys,

this problem occurs after activating the nvidia drivers. After normal installation from LiveCD everything works fine until nvidia hardware is enabled. I have already tried to pack manually my initrd and I am 100% sure that there is a module.dep inside but error still occurs.

Greetings

BTW, since UCK 2.4.2 I can't reproduce this anymore (with 2.6.35-24-generic) , although I haven't tried the nVidia drivers.
