LVM-Bootdisk
Hi I am currently a little bit experimentating with installing debian directly into lvm. Theory is not so difficult, and it works with a lot of handwork during the installation-process. One of the main problems is that the lvm-binarys are so big. So they cannot be on the bootdisk. But getting them from a mounted cdrom or floppy works. But for beeing able to install a system into lvm, I need a kernel with LVM-support. So I need some documentation how I can build a bootdisk with a customized kernel. I now got the kernel in /usr/src/linux and making a kernel-image with make-kpkg works. Where can I now find the steps which are needed to create a set of boot-floppies for this kernel? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#109540: Installer is showing the same screen for about 2 minutes
Package: boot-floppies Version: N/A; reported 2001-08-21 Severity: wishlist Tags: woody Hi I installed debian with boot-floppies version 3.0.11 on a p66-system. There it showed the same screen for about 2 minutes without changes. On the second console I could see that it is examinating the downloaded packages with dpkg. Perhaps a user without much knowledge could think that the installer crashed/is hanging and restart the machiene. Perhaps the installer should tell the user which package he is currently looking at, after download. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux mobile 2.4.6-ac3 #1 Tue Jul 17 06:51:14 CEST 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I changed theMode from a 'char *' to a 'struct stat *' instead of the intended 'struct stat', so there was no underlying storage... Sorry 'bout that. The only real reason for the last one is that some of the BusyBox developers (Hi Erik) tend to hang out around here, and so will howdy :-) Is anybody going to create a new version of boot-floppys for potato with a new version of busybox? Because the current one is unable to mount a nfs-share. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
