Problem with boot menu of kiwi USB iso build of exported Suse Studio appliance. Feb 11th 2013, 17:59 I created an appliance in Suse Studio based on OpenSUSE 11.4 last fall. It works great and we use this appliance for our network installations. However, Novell stopped supporting 11.4 on the site at the end of the year. We don't want to upgrade OS versions or switch to SLES as that breaks various developed scripts we use. Now we cannot build with any enhancements or fixes on the Studio site. The recommendation was to export the appliance and build locally with Kiwi. This seemed a better solution as we can control customization and avoid upload & download to the site to implement appliance changes. I was able to build an exported version of out appliance after some wrestling with installing Kiwi and tweaking the packages and such. The reason for this post, is that while the appliance builds and works, there is a problem with the initial grub screen. It doesn't match the one in the original suse studio built appliance. The wallpaper is absent and it looks like the bootsplash configurations didn't complete. I am sure there is something missing in my configuration or some such issue. After pouring through the kiwi manual I'm at a loss for what the issue is caused by. It has something to do with how the files that build the grub boot menu are assembled but I can't seem to determine what the specific problem is. The kiwi build log contains the following problems: Quote: make: Entering directory `/usr/share/gfxboot/themes/studio' make: Makefile: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'. Stop. make: Leaving directory `/usr/share/gfxboot/themes/studio' gfxboot.cfg not found ! install::livecd will be skipped live || boot:addopt.keytable will be skipped live || boot:addopt.lang will be skipped make: Entering directory `/usr/share/gfxboot/themes/studio' make: Makefile: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'.

Stop. make: Leaving directory `/usr/share/gfxboot/themes/studio' Any suggestions where to start looking? I didn't see a kiwi forum and since this was not a Suse Studio specific problem I posted it here. Let me know if there is a better location for it. Thanks, -Todd
