Changes​

  • The build now stops with an error instead of producing an image that does not boot: when it cannot read the kernel command line of the base image's default boot entry, or when a boot entry still has the build tool's own kernel command line after the final package update.

Fixes​

  • Images now boot when the build installs a newer kernel than the base image has, which happens whenever the base image is older than the newest kernel, because the build updates all packages. That kernel booted with the build tool's own kernel command line, so the VM could not find its root disk, stopped in the emergency shell and showed an empty display. The builder now saves the base image's kernel command line to /etc/kernel/cmdline before any other step, and keeps that file if the base image already has one.

Upgrading​

  • Download ticrypt-image-builder-0.2.1.tgz and extract it with tar -xzf ticrypt-image-builder-0.2.1.tgz. ./ticrypt-image.sh version prints the version. The command in Get the Builder downloads the newest version instead.
  • Configuration files written for 0.2.0 work unchanged.
  • Rebuild any image built with 0.2.0 whose VM stops at boot with an empty display. Automated: Linux Image Builder covers the build.
