Hi I’m trying to use the chr.img file - dd (ing) to a custom distribution Linode but dont seem to be able to get it to boot.
Anyone here care to share there experience.
Thanks
Have to setup the Instance for Full-virtualization and not paravirtualization
Boot Settings: Direct Disk
Boot into recovery disk. And will have to download the .img file and then extract it to disk.
example:
sudo gunzip -c myversion.img | sudo dd of=/dev/sdb bs=1m
Replace /dev/sdb with your actual disk assignment.
can run fdisk -l to list disks.
Once extracted, you can reboot the VM and tell it to boot to disk.
Works, Brilliant Thanks
Glad I could help! Enjoy. Linode is great, used for years
