The pointer I needed.  Thanks Jan.

I was definitely doing it wrong.  Thanks to Jan Dreyer's pointer I did look 
at the script for GRUB_PC and I missed a lot.  In addition to the devices I 
needed to ensure that mdadmin got installed.


It is working now.  Thanks a lot.

Not rebooting

[John G Heim]

What would cause my machines to not reboot at the end of an FAI install? 
I have the reboot flag in the kernel parms., 
"FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt,reboot".


I logged into a machine during an install and checked the value of 
flag_reboot and it's set to 1.


# echo $flag_reboot
1

update-grub is run in the example config in 10-setup. Take a look there
to see if you are doing anything different.

Hi.

I think you have to bind-mount /dev, /sys and /proc into /target before chroot. 
You won't have access to the devices if not.

And I now I have logs.  The bit that is causing the problem is:

$ROOTCMD update-grub
+ chroot /target update-grub
Generating grub configuration file ...
grub-probe: error: disk `md0' not found.
error=$(($?>$error?$?:$error))
++ error=1

Not sure what to do about that. Suggesions?

And I now I have logs.  The bit that is causing the problem is:

grub-probe: error: disk `md0' not found.
error=$(($?>$error?$?:$error))
