I found my problem. I had added my own bootloader records and forgot to change the partition that '/' was on. its working just fine. Dave

1. After completing a manual GUI install, the generated auto_inst.cfg

After completing an auto install using the above declaration, the
generated file contains the following:
'X' = {

'monitor' = { ... },
'default_depth' = undef
},
and what did you get in XF86Config-4 ?
The only difference in XF86Config-4 between the two installs is:
Subsection Display
Depth 24
Modes 1024x768 800x600 640x480
EndSubsection
and
Subsection Display
Depth 24
Modes 800x600 640x480
EndSubsection
But that is not the problem.
The problem is that if I generate a Replay diskette on a system that was
installed using auto install (using the first X declaration above), the
auto_inst.cfg file on the diskette has the 'resolution_wanted' and
'default_depth' both set to undef (second X declaration above).
If I subsequently use the Replay diskette to install on another machine, X is
not set up with the same resolution and depth that the first machine was set
to.
For some reason drakx is not setting 'resolution_wanted' and 'default_depth'
to the values 1024, and 24 respectively.

[Cooker] AutoInstall Testing - DrakX 1.720
Tonights results:
It is looking really good, all previous issues seem to be resolved except,
1. After completing a manual GUI install, the generated auto_inst.cfg file
has the following for the 'X' declaration:
'X' = {
'bios_vga_mode' = undef,
'resolution_wanted' = 1024,
'monitor' = {
'HorizSync' = '30-54',
'VideoRam_probed' = '8192',
'size' = '14.88',
'ModelName' = 'AOC SPECTRUM 5Elr 5ElrA 5E 5EA',
'VendorName' = 'Plug\'n Play',
'manually_chosen' = 1,
'Identifier' = 'monitor1',
'EISA_ID' = 'aocd556',
'VertRefresh' = '50-120',
'dpms' = '1'
},
'default_depth' = 24
},
After completing an auto install using the above declaration, the generated
file contains the following:
'X' = {
'bios_vga_mode' = undef,
'resolution_wanted' = undef,
'monitor' = {
'HorizSync' = '30-54',
'VideoRam_probed' = '8192',
'size' = '14.88',
'ModelName' = 'AOC SPECTRUM 5Elr 5ElrA 5E 5EA',
'VendorName' = 'Plug\'n Play',
'manually_chosen' = 1,
'Identifier' = 'monitor1',
'EISA_ID' = 'aocd556',
'VertRefresh' = '50-120',
'dpms' = '1'
},
'default_depth' = undef
},
Generating an Replay diskette with above results in the wrong depth and
resolution being used.
However, if I use the following, I get the proper resolution and depth:
'X' = {
'resolution_wanted' = '1024x768',
'default_depth' = 24
},
2. Tried out the RAID capability added to auto install but,
a) watched console 3 and saw that the defined partitions were created for
raid type and that the raid volume was formated ok.
b) on reboot, I get a kernel panic with messages as follows:
Uncompressing Linux Ok, booting the kernel
md: md0: raid array is not clean -- starting background reconstruction
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k md-personality-3, errno = 2
md: personality 3 is not loaded
md: md0: raid array is not clean -- starting background reconstruction
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed:2
Kernel panic: No init found
The following is the 'partitions' that I used:
'partitions' = [
{
'mntpoint' = '/boot',
'type' = 1155,
'size' = 96390
},
{
'mntpoint' = 'swap',
'type' = 130,
'size' = 578277
},
{
'mntpoint' = 'raid_a',
'size' = 1000 11,
'type' = 0xfd,
'ratio' = 1
},
{
'mntpoint' = 'raid_b',
'size' = 1000 11,
'type' = 0xfd,
'ratio' = 1
},
{
'mntpoint' = '/home',
'type' = 0x483,
'hd' = 'md0',
'level' = 1,
'parts' = 'raid_a raid_b'
},
{
'mntpoint' = '/',
'type' = 1155,
'size' = 775029,
'ratio' = 100
}
],
Funny thing is I can use the GUI to create the same raid volume and after
reboot everything starts. Although I do get the unclean message.
c) using the GUI, when the 'partitions' is placed in the auto_inst.cfg file,
the raid information is missing. So the file can not be used to recreate the
install.
more later
