systemrescue-zfs's Introduction

Overview

SystemRescue+ZFS is a fork of the SystemRescue distribution (based on Arch Linux) with the following improvements:

ZFS supported out of the box
Serial console enabled for all boot options, including Memtest86+
EFI boot progress indicators for the kernel/initramfs/system stages
Headers and done vs. skipped indicators for each build step
Extra polish

Serial console

A serial terminal is enabled out of the box on ttyS0/COM1 at 115,200 baud. If these settings are unsuitable, adjust the configuration of the appropriate bootloader and the kernel, then build a new image.

Bootloader

GRUB (EFI boot)	SYSLINUX (legacy boot)
📍 `efiboot/grub/grubsrcd.cfg` `serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 …`	📍 `syslinux/sysresccd_head.cfg` `SERIAL 0 115200`

Kernel

📍 build.sh
consoles='console=ttyS0,115200 …'

Building

$ sudo ./build.sh [-d] [-v]

-d: Turn off compression, significantly speeding up development builds.
-v: Print more information while building (strongly recommended).

Dependencies

Arch Linux with the following packages installed:

arch-install-scripts
archiso from the custom SystemRescue repository ⚠️
base-devel
edk2-shell
grub
hugo
isomd5sum
mtools

Rebuilds

The state of successful build steps is persisted in work/build.make_* files. If such a file exists for a given build step, build.sh skips that step indefinitely. State files must be manually deleted for any steps that one wants reexecuted.

Full rebuild

$ sudo rm work/build.make_*

Partial rebuild

Delete the state file for the desired step and any downstream steps. For example, if you have customized the GRUB configuration, you must remove build.make_efi and its successors build.make_efiboot and build.make_iso.

Steps

make_pacman_conf
make_basefs
make_documentation
make_packages
make_customize_airootfs
make_setup_mkinitcpio
make_boot
make_boot_extra
make_syslinux
make_isolinux
make_efi
make_efiboot
make_prepare
make_imageinfo
make_iso

systemrescue-zfs's Issues

ERROR: Profile 'init' does not exist!

Running as described in the readme:

================================================================================
make_basefs
================================================================================
[mkarchiso] ERROR: Profile 'init' does not exist!

ERROR: Profile 'init' does not exist!

I don't know if this is a bug in mkarchiso or systemresuce-zfs. I consistently get the error

[mkarchiso] ERROR: Profile '/path/to/systemrescue-zfs/init' does not exist!

when running sudo ./build.sh -v. Running within bash -x reveals the problem is within the setarch x86_64 mkarchiso -v -w work/x86_64 -C work/pacman.conf -D sysresccd init command of the make_basefs routine. Apparently, mkarchiso tries to interpret the init part at the end of this command as a profile directory. From what mkarchiso is intended to be good for, this sounds fine, but it obviously is not what the Systemrescue build script environment expects from it.

Where is the archiso profile directory supposed to come from?

will the build be updated to the latest stable mainstream release?

The latest stable release of systemrescue is 8.07 with a release date 2021-12-19.

Will this interesting project be updated?

here is my packages(i removed some, for its too slow for me)
packages.txt

here is my pacman conf
pacman.conf.txt

any ideas?

When I ls the /dev/disk/by-label/ directory - the file is named SYSTEMRESCU - which is the 11 char windows drive name. Rufus added the full name in the autorun.inf using the Label option.

I modified the Label in autorun.inf to SYSTEMRESCU, but it errored out with the same message.

Thank you!
