I'm seeing this problem on isohybrid-imaged usb. Anyone else experimenting with beowulf-based isos? C'mon guys, I need feedback. And help.

No change on booting with CONCURRENCY=none

I turned of anything I thought I would not need:
bluetooth, hddtemp, lm-sensors, lvm2, mdadm, nfs-common, pppd-dns, rsync, saned, smartmontools

Didn't help.

Update: How to do it -

touch /etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering

to set CONCURRENCY=none
see:
/etc/init.d/README
/usr/share/doc/insserv/README.deb
/etc/init.d/rc     <- This is where it happens

Testing this now. Still building the iso.

And it's still screwed up. No audio when boot from dvd, except when booted to ram. Fixed by modprobe the sound module. In my case, 'modprobe snd_hda_intel'

Here's a list of modules that get loaded when booting to ram but not when booting normally. If anyone has any ideas about wtf is going on, I'd love to hear it.

x86_pkg_temp_thermal

Yeah, that worked: modprobe snd_hda_intel was all I needed to do.

Oh, and it all works just fine if I boot to ram. Modules are already loaded and sound works. I'm thinking maybe there's a timeout somewhere on reading the dvd, and it just stops reading early.

I believe the problem has been fixed by installing acpi-fakekey. Can anyone confirm or refute?

They say nothing happens by just bitching about it, but that's what I did to get the answer.

Try this one: https://get.refracta.org/files/testing/ … 8_0033.iso

I added acpi-fakekey. Did it first over ssh in a live session, and the trackpad worked instantly. Then I made the above iso and burned it to dvd. Only tested on laptop so far, but it works.

Did you see this one?  https://askubuntu.com/questions/1120843 … ket-ctb-2d

Check permissions on /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/*

Yeah, our primary goal is to provide systemd-free debian. For those who want minimalist or libre or some other combination of packages, configs or whatever, there are derivative distros that fulfill some of these needs, and there are several ways of making your own, and there's a community of people already making their own who will offer ideas and advice and will help you solve problems you run into.

That brings us to a secondary goal - to accomplish the first goal with the least amount of work. We have a team of around a dozen people to keep up with the hundreds of debian developers. All are volunteers. We like to keep it simple and easy wherever possible.

Live iso burned to optical disk. (I've only tried DVD, because the isos are too big for CD.)
Auto-login is enabled in the official beowulf desktop-live isos.
It boots.
It goes to desktop.
You can't use keyboard or mouse.

I didn't notice this problem becuase I don't use optical disks anymore.

There's a much better description of the problem in the linked discussion. I was nice enough to link you to the last two of the 23 pages. Please take a look at that discussion for clues. I'd like to fix this problem, not just rename the isos to .img and tell everyone they are usb images. I'm hoping someone who knows something that I don't know will look at that and see where the actual problem is.

Thanks,
fsmithred (not a happy camper.)

I made another beowulf image with the same changes as the last refracta iso, minus the ssh-server and console-only runlevel 3. As you noted, these changes don't work if there's only usb mouse and keyboard. If there's a trackpad, they work. Someone else is supposed to let me know about ps2 inputs.
