(be gentle, i'm a newbie
)I use Gentoo Q1.2011 2.6.38-hardened-r6 version, x86 architecture.
First of all, I don't know if i need to patch this kernel with grsecurity patch.
For me, I don't think so because hardened version includes Grsecurity/Pax features but there are not enable by default.
I made an LiveUSB without Grsecurity/Pax features and it's working fine !
I can boot on this LiveUSB and after, execute a script which install Gentoo on another server.
How to here : http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/liveusb.xml
After create an optimize copy of my system in a directory, i use "mksquashfs" to generate a squafs LiveCD.
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Build_Yo ... or_LiveDVD (§. Building the LiveCD)
When I compile, i'm using "genkernel --menuconfig all" command.
Now, i would like to secure this OS by activating Grsecurity and PaX.
When I do it, my LiveCD is loading and blocking on squashfs....
I have the following logs:
>> Mouting squashfs filesystem
mount: can't setup loop device: No space left on device
!! Failed to $1; failing back to the shell...
BusyBox v1.18.1 (2011-06-22 14;42:28 GMT) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-commands.
/bin/ash: can't access tty; job control turned off
#
My question is, which option(s) should be disable in order to solve this tricky subject ?!?
