ISOLINUX hanging

[reactor10]

Hi,

I have been experimenting remastering both MicroCore and TinyCore. I have written my own remastering script which doesn't do anything special and is mainly identical to the one of the Wiki.
When remastering MC I have attempted to install the Xlibs and Xprogs files, however after adding the contents to the image ISOLINUX hangs. As soon as the image size gets to 10MB ISOLINUX decides not to load the microcore.gz and sits there in an infinite loop.  This has also happened to me whilst remastering TC, however the limit seems to be 24MB.

I'm obviously doing something wrong, does anyone have any ideas what it could be?

What's the last thing you see on the screen before the boot hangs?  Can you provide more details on how you are remastering?

I follow the Wiki exactly throughout unpacking/extracting, packing the filesystem up and then making it into an ISO. The only time I deviate is when unpacking the XProgs/Xlibs. At this point I extract them into a directory, copy the files into the extracted TC filesystem and then proceed with packing.

I'm not sure if it is related to the problem you are having, but you don't need to unpack Xprogs.gz/Xlibs.gz, you can just put them as is in the /opt/tce directory in the extracted initrd filesystem.
