Hey Thomas- I recently built an FAI server based on the 2.8.4, 25 May 2005 release and noticed when I partition with a boot parition, it seems FAI still builds the grub menu.lst w/ references to the root filesystem instead of the /boot filesystem. i.e. my partitioning looks like this:
# generic disk configuration for one small disk # disk size from 500Mb up to what you can buy today # # <type> <mountpoint> <size in mb> [mount options] [;extra options] disk_config disk2 primary /boot 100 rw,errors=remount-ro ; -j ext3 primary swap 2048 rw primary / 10- rw,errors=remount-ro ; -m 0 -j ext3 In my menu.lst, I end up with entries like this: title Debian ... root (hd1,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.31-686 root=/dev/sdb3 ro initrd /initrd.img-2.4.31-686 When the "root" specification above should be: root (hd1,0) If I didn't have a /boot partition in my disk_config above, I'm guessing it would have made the menu.lst correctly. I had to boot from floppy to fix the grub menu to end up w/ a working system. No biggie, but thought I should report this. By the way -- the message "Congratulations, no errors found" at the end of the FAI is nice to see -- this is the first FAI release I've used where I haven't had to tweek anything to get all of the shell logs to show no "errors" even though the errors in my case were beneign. Nice job on a nice clean FAI release -- no "heartburn" messages to worry about when it runs so smooth like this. -- Eric Malkowski > > >>>>> On Mon, 15 Aug 2005 17:46:31 +0200, Henning Glawe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >>>>> said: > > IMHO it would be good to nfs-mount the debmirror over tcp instead of > udp, > > because nfs over udp can be unreliable when gigabit ethernet is in use. > > > > what are your opinions about setting this as FAI's default? > If more people are testing this and also like this as a default, then > I will accept it.
