remastering CD from HDForum: HD Install Topic: remastering CD from HD started by: saffo Posted by saffo on May 07 2004,21:00
I figured out how to change the boot graphic, and the boot message. After it passes that stage I constantly get'you passed an undefined mode number' I edited lilo.conf and tried various settings. From numbers 1-9, normal, extended, hex numbers. I rebuilt lilo properly. One thing to note, it didnt like vga= in the append, so I removed that and have it up higher. Do I need to change boot=/dev/hda line if I am remastering to CD? I also edited the sysconfig file in the boot.img file. I also want to remove the DSL text that comes up after the video modes, just before it 'scans for DSL on cdrom at...' The text has a big DSL in ascii art and proclaims the warranty. I understand that I must leave the warranty part in, but I want to remove the DSL text. I also changed every MOTD, search every file and removed what appears to be every instance of this. Any guidance would be apreciated. -Saffo P.S. Sorry for double posting, but I posted this in the wrong forum before. Posted by saffo on May 10 2004,14:25
The DSL text is within the boot.img. First mount the boot.img, then copy the miniroot.gz somewhere else. gzip -d miniroot.gz then mount it (using -o loop). The linuxrc is a script that has the DSL ascii art in it.

I am still getting the passed an invalid video mode message from lilo.I edit the lilo.conf and run lilo and it works fine. Then I remaster to CD. I am trying to load it into ramdisk now from lilo.conf, but we shall see. Posted by saffo on May 12 2004,17:30
To change the video mode to one that is appropriate you dont need to run to run lilo when remastering. Basically you need to mount the boot.img and edit the syslinux.cfg file. Modify the default vmlinuz to whichever VGA mode you wish to use.To mount boot.img (I have mine on /mnt/hda1/knx/master/KNOPPIX/boot.img). mkdir /master mount /mnt/hda1/knx/master/KNOPPIX/boot.img /master -o loop |
