Creating a Linux Recovery disk
I am trying to create a Linux 5.7 recovery disk and am getting the error message below: # createSRD --iso=/mnt/backup/rhel-server-5.7-source-dvd.iso -d /mnt/backup/customSRD.iso Creating SRD...Please Wait [ ######################## ] 36% Could not get distribution info from media. Please check the media. This would seem to imply a problem with the iso file but I have tried 2 different iso files and get the same error message. Anyone have any ideas on this one? Thanks

booting from a cloned hard on a laptop
Hi, I cloned a linux CentOS hard drive of a server PC which included a LVM. Then I connected my external hard to the usb port of my laptop. I wanted to boot my laptop from the CentOS of external hard so i could use the programs which were installed on PC.So I restarted the laptop and press F11 button to select the desired OS. I can see the CentOS of external hard but when select it the following message appears: ========================================= Booting 'CentOS (2.6.18-308.24.1.e15)' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-308.24.1.e15 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x1cf514] initrd /initrd 0 0x37e62000, 0x18d36e bytes] Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroop00/LogVol101) mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! ============================================ by the way, when i log in to windows of my laptop and use Virtual Box, i can mount both boot and lvm partition of external hard and i can see the content of lvm and the programs of my interest.but i cant run the programs.
