Editing rootfs.gz file in Slitaz Rolling Version 24082014 (last version)

Hi.

My story:

I used to edit the rootfs.gz file when I used Slitaz-4.0-core.iso.

I did that with those commands:

---start

(zcat rootfs.gz 2>/dev/null || lzma d rootfs.gz -so) | cpio -id

rm rootfs.gz

#edit some files

find . -print | cpio -o -H newc | lzma e -si -so > ../rootfs.gz

---end

Now, I use slitaz-rolling-core.iso downloaded from here: http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/rolling/

Those commands do not work any more. I get this error: http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/slitaz-50-rc1-crashing-on-boot-up-with-kernel-panic-please-help

...even if I use the rolling version, and even if I do not edit anything.

The strange think is that the rootfs.gz file genrated by the command:

tazusb writefs lzma

works great!

So, I think you might have changed something to those 2 commands:

#extract command

(zcat rootfs.gz 2>/dev/null || lzma d rootfs.gz -so) | cpio -id

#compress command

find . -print | cpio -o -H newc | lzma e -si -so > ../rootfs.gz

which I've found here: http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:hacklivecd .

Thanks for help!

neutral

I did not find anything very useful there.

Still need some help.

Those 2 commands actually work!

But they should be executed upon a rootfs.gz file from RAM memory.

Can you tell me why?
