Hi, Jari, thanks for pointing out the filename discrepancy. I had been generating the ISOs from a good filesystem tree and never thought that something was getting mangled by mkisofs. It turns out that I was using the example isolinux syntax from the syslinux distribution, which doesn't enable rockridge extensions by default..... As you can imagine, that caused filenames to be truncated to 8.3, breaking losetup linkage. It might be a good idea to add this tidbit to your readme so someone else doesn't have to go through the pain I did. Thanks for your help, all is working now exactly as expected :) Mike On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 8:16 AM, Jari Ruusu <jariruusu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Jari Ruusu wrote: >> To me that "ld_linux.2" file name looks wrong. >> Maybe it should be renamed as "ld-linux.so.2" > > And check that "libc_so.6" name as well... > > # strings -a ld_linux.2 | grep "libc.*6" > libc.so.6 > # ls -l *libc*6* > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1237276 Jun 9 00:48 libc_so.6 > > -- > Jari Ruusu 1024R/3A220F51 5B 4B F9 BB D3 3F 52 E9 DB 1D EB E3 24 0E A9 DD > - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
