I think the patch I proposed (below) is fine but we still need a new template.
How about the following text: _Description: Go back to the menu and correct this problem? Your boot partition has not been marked as a bootable partition, even though this is required by your machine in order to boot. Please go back and set the bootable flag for your boot partition. . If you do not go back to the partitioning menu and correct this error, the partition will be used as is. This means that you may not be able to boot from your hard disk. * Martin Michlmayr <t...@cyrius.com> [2009-01-06 16:28]: > Here's a patch, and then we just need a new debconf template > partman-ext3/boot_not_bootable > > Index: ext2_or_ext3_boot > =================================================================== > --- ext2_or_ext3_boot (revision 55526) > +++ ext2_or_ext3_boot (working copy) > @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ > #!/bin/sh > -# Check that the boot partition is the 1st (primary) partition and that > -# it is of type ext2 or ext3. > +# Check that the boot partition is the 1st (primary) partition, that > +# it is of type ext2 or ext3, and that it is marked as bootable. > > machine=$(grep "^Hardware" /proc/cpuinfo | sed 's/Hardware\s*:\s*//') || true > case "$machine" in > @@ -32,10 +32,16 @@ > root_fs=$filesystem > root_type=$type > root_path=$path > + if [ -f $id/bootable ]; then > + root_bootable=yes > + fi > elif [ "$mountpoint" = /boot ]; then > boot_fs=$filesystem > boot_type=$type > boot_path=$path > + if [ -f $id/bootable ]; then > + boot_bootable=yes > + fi > fi > done > close_dialog > @@ -46,6 +52,7 @@ > boot_fs=$root_fs > boot_type=$root_type > boot_path=$root_path > + boot_bootable=$root_bootable > fi > > # We need an ext2 r ext3 filesystem to boot > @@ -71,3 +78,14 @@ > fi > fi > > +# Make sure that the boot partition is marked as bootable > +if [ "$boot_bootable" != "yes" ]; then > + db_set partman-ext3/boot_not_bootable true > + db_input critical partman-ext3/boot_not_bootable || true > + db_go || true > + db_get partman-ext3/boot_not_bootable > + if [ "$RET" = true ]; then > + exit 1 > + fi > +fi > + > > -- > Martin Michlmayr > http://www.cyrius.com/ -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
