Deploy and Run System in a RamDisk - grabs /dev/sda instead

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi All

I am trying to build a minimal image to have the OS totally in memory.
SLES15.2 for the ISO image.
SLES15.5 for the kiwi host.

Message: No device(s) for installation found.
If filter device is omitted from <oemconfig> /dev/sda is used to install the ISO.

Any direction would be appreciated.

<type image=“oem” filesystem=“ext4” initrd_system=“dracut” installiso=“true” installboot=“install” kernelcmdline=“console=ttyS0,rd.live.ram=1,rd.kiwi.ramdisk ramdisk_size=4096000” bootpartition=“false”>

        &lt;bootloader name="grub2" console="serial" timeout="1"/&gt;
        &lt;oemconfig&gt;
            &lt;oem-unattended&gt;false&lt;/oem-unattended&gt;
            &lt;oem-skip-verify&gt;true&lt;/oem-skip-verify&gt;
            &lt;oem-unattended-id&gt;/dev/ram1&lt;/oem-unattended-id&gt;
            &lt;oem-device-filter&gt;/dev/sd&lt;/oem-device-filter&gt;
            &lt;oem-swap&gt;false&lt;/oem-swap&gt;
            &lt;oem-multipath-scan&gt;false&lt;/oem-multipath-scan&gt;
        &lt;/oemconfig&gt;

Kiwi host:
kiwi-systemdeps-bootloaders-9.23.12-1.1.x86_64
kiwi-tools-9.23.12-1.1.x86_64
python3-kiwi-9.23.12-1.1.x86_64
kiwi-systemdeps-core-9.23.12-1.1.x86_64

Thanks so much,

Sorry, but I only see SLES mentioned in your thread, nowhere openSUSE. And these are the openSUSE forums.

Thus better go to http://forums.suse.com/

Hi

I have since noticed and opened an account there.

Sorry for the intrusion, :wink:

Regards.
