Cannot create mindi media with newer syslinux

[Corey Wirun]

Upon booting from test media, the boot halts with a missing file (ldlinux.c32). It does not appear to be on the media. I did find ldlinux.c32 on the computer in /usr/share/syslinux/ldlinux.c32.

[root@nexus ~]# rpm -q syslinux
syslinux-5.10-1.el6.rfx.x86_64

[root@nexus ~]# find / -name ldlinux.c32 -print
/usr/share/syslinux/ldlinux.c32
/boot/extlinux/ldlinux.c32

This is a significantly newer version of syslinux versus the version you have. Looks like they changed something.

Your suggested patch of:

cp /usr/share/syslinux/ldlinux.c32 $MINDI_TMP/iso around line 1497 when MakeMessage has been called e.g.

appears to fix this problem.

It appears the patch did not completely fix the problem. When running a full backup from mondo, the same problem occurs when you try and boot from the media - missing ldlinux.c32.

It looks like another patch is required somewhere else in mindi.

Should be solved with rev [3241] please confirm

This latest patch did not address this. Log file attached.

Mondo running as root.

This is what I have installed:

[root@nexus dev]# rpm -q -a | grep mindi
mindi-3.0.020140226022220-0.rhel6.x86_64
mindi-busybox-1.21.120140226022220-0.rhel6.x86_64

[root@nexus dev]# rpm -q -a | grep -i mondo
perl-MondoRescue-3.2.020140226022220-0.rhel6.noarch
mondo-3.2.020140226022220-0.rhel6.x86_64

It cannot copy the ldlinux.c32 for some reason. Asks if disk full.

Additional information. I run mondo again. Of course, the same error occurred. The following is form that run, not from the files I uploaded.

It appears the error:

Cannot copy ldlinux.c32 (/usr/share/syslinux/ldlinux.c32) to /home/mondo.scratch.rqtBQ9/iso/ldlinux.c32. Did you run out of disk space?

Is because it is trying to copy ldlinux.c32 to a directory that doesn't exist. The directory that was created as part of the options selection process was actually:

mondo.scratch.rNeBDl

So there's a mismatch. Hope this helps.

[Bruno Cornec]

Fixed in rev [3260] by copying for mondo at the root of the temp dir not under an inexisting iso subdir.

I could check it works as my new Mageia 4 exhibited the same issue as you.

Will be in 3.0.5 and 3.2.0.

Ok I forgot to publish the appropriate version of mind-busybox, thus the error reported.

I've made a new delivery of all packages for RHEL6 x86_64 under ​ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/rhel/6/x86_64/

Could you install those and report again if we make progresses please.

[Corey Wirun]

I checked the FTP site and there does not appears to be any new files. The most recent file I see is 24-Mar and busybox is 26-Feb. Are there new files supposed to be there?

[Bruno Cornec]

Now they are there.
