Hi,
Tested but failed to boot because the network card driver (igb) is not built
into the /usr/share/systemimager/boot/x86_64/standard/kernel file from
systemimager-x86_64boot-standard rpm.
After applaying the attached patch, everything seems to work like a charm
using OSCAR svn trunk.
As for the spec file, I added the following lines:
# Make sure we can fin system utils like mkfs.cramfs
export PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:$PATH
This is to allow the built of the package as non-root using sudo.
A better way may be to use fakeroot but I'm not skilled enough to tell how to
do that for now.
Best regards,
Olivier.
