please add support for kaspersky latest rescue disk,old one work new one does not

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

KRD10 currently doesn't work since it uses GRUB2, which I haven't yet implemented config file parsing for. I'm planning on doing so soon.

I've implemented GRUB2 config file parsing as of the latest commit (455), but unfortunately Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 is apparently unable to detect my USB drive, and is failing with the following message:

>> Making tmpfs for /newroot

root block device()::

When I drop into the shell, I am able to mount /dev/sdb1 and can see that image.squashfs and the rest of the files are there, so the issue doesn't appear to be that it's unable to detect or mount my USB drive, rather that it's not recognizing it as the boot device.

I am using the following boot options:

kernel /boot/rescue
append initrd=/boot/rescue.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/image.squashfs cdroot noapic kav_lang=en quiet

As of the current release (466), Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 should now be working. Please test.

sorry for responding late
i am extremely happy that you listen to my question
and worked hard and spent your lots of valuable time to fix it

i will be testing it today and will reply you soon

thanks man really very very thank you

I tried the same with unetbootin (version 471) in debian/sid but when the USB harddisk boots, I got a "Missing operation system" error message.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

on my end its perfectly working fine
may be Geza Kovacs could help you

@lukshuntim That sounds like your USB harddisk wasn't made bootable; make sure it's FAT32 formatted, and make sure you're using the USB drive (not Hard Disk) install option as it's an external drive. Anyhow that is a different issue from this one (it's not specific to Kaspersky Rescue Disk), so open a new question if you continue to have issues.

Hi Geza,

Yes, it's quite strange as I'm using an old USB disk that's already
bootable and has a vfat 1st partition. Based on your tip, I used parted
to delete the partition, create it again, toggle the boot flag on, and
somehow it work this time!

Thanks very much for your answer. Thanks to max too.
