hi! i have some difficulties with our strange constellation of partitions. the default in our network is a three partition layout: 1) primary fat16 for DOS (our main admin is a turboBasic freak and needs that) 2) extendet ntfs for WinNT 3) primary NTFS for data and applications as you can guess this was not my idea :) the only way i got linux installed is by booting with an partition-magic disk and convert the extendet partition into a primary one and to shrink the last partition. thismleads to a pretty stupid partition-order: hde1, hde4 and then hde3. a manual debian installation worked with that, but fai just tells me the following:
[...] Calling task_partition Partitioning local harddisks FAI: setup harddisks V0.32fai Probing disks: /dev/hde Disks found: hde parsing config file: /fai/disk_config/SMALL_IDE NUMERATION ERROR in line 10, the number of the partition can not be preserved: primary /mnt/win2 preserve4 ro cp: cannot stat `/tmp/fai/disk_var.sh': No such file or directory here are the important parts of my SMALL_IDE: disk_config hde primary /mnt/win1 preserve1 ro primary /mnt/win2 preserve3 ro primary /mnt/win3 preserve4 ro logical / 70-2000 rw,errors=remount-ro ;-c -j ext3 switching hde4 before hde3 causes a similar error. my question is: how do i get FAI to work with that? thanks in advance mat.
