Hello!
I am trying to modify annaconda to allow me to install the MBR on the
drive that has the /boot partition on it. This is important because the
first drive in a fibre channel environment might be shared.
Well I was hoping you could look at this code and tell me whats wrong?
It works when I test it in a small script like this one:
#!/usr/bin/python
import re
test1 = "/dev/hda"
test2 = "/dev/sda2"
p = re.compile( '[0-9]+$')
bootMbr = p.sub( '', test2, 1)
if test1 != bootMbr:
print "bootMbr = ", bootMbr
All I can think of is maybe the re.py function is missing from the
annaconda install, but if thats the case why didn't it complain about
the import function? Can I just simply copy that into the annaconda
directory? Or better yet is there a better way to do what I am trying
to do. I didn't see any relationship between diskSet.driveList and
bootDev.device
Any help is appreciated!! Thanks!!
