Re: [Unattended] New Linux boot iso???
G'day all We have encountered a problem using the linux boot cd on a new motherboard ASUS M2N-MX both with APCI (which we worked around) and lacking support for the network card (and hence can't access the server). I gather that the linux boot image needs updating - seems to be at least 2-3 years old. I did try the 4.7pre version out there. So I am intending to work on updating this. If someone has a solution or knowledge that the the boot disk is being worked on, please let me know asap. Did you have a look at the unattended and unattended-devel mailing list archives? There are lot's of posts regarding the wiki page http://ubertechnique.com/unattended/NTLDRNotFound there this is described.

Re: [Unattended] unattended.csv -- middle_scripts separator symbol
Hi, I have a question about unattended.csv middle_scripts option. What separator symbol should I use in list of scripts? ... List above didn't work and I guess that space is not right symbol. I've looked into C:\netinst\unattended.txt and ; is used as separator symbol instead. I could not find information regarding this option in documentation. in install.pl the corresponding line is: my @middle_scripts = split /;/, $middle; so ; should do.

Re: [Unattended] Unattended cvs ISO with kernel 2.6.19
I don't know if this problem is related, but I just used the linuxboot.iso from http://www.smi-softmark.de/unattendedcvs/unattended-cvs-2.6.19.tar.bz2, and it keeps rebooting after the loading initrd. It happens on Asus P5GZMX and also on P5GV-MX. I was downloading this image as a possible solution to the NTLDR not found problem, which is most probably caused to the parted issue. Hi Alon, this is a bit strange. AFAIK reboot after loading initrd would mean the kernel has been compiled for other architecture, e.g. i686/K8/VIA etc. but as far as I remember I've compiled for i586/PII/PIII/... What other hardware do you have there, did you boot from iso or via network/pxe? I think I didn't try the iso myself, since I use this just for PXE, but I can do that tomorrow just for testing. Does the machine boot with another linux distro, e.g. knoppix? Did you try the 2.6.17 kernel?

Re: [Unattended] Q: repository maintenance
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, What would be a proper procedure to maintain repository of updates and new version of software? At the moment I am observing that at run of prepare script it copied a latest version of winamp but old version was not deleted. Thank you, Andrey I've noticed the same thing actually. It's possibly not a priority to deal with given how cheap is disk space these days. I find myself manually sifting through and deleting old versions every few months. Some time ago I wrote some scripts which a) check which folder uses more size than really needed by unattended - it does this by creating a duplicate directory structure making hardlinks for existing _and_ needed files b) show the results of the check only c) do the same as old prepare script and check script above, but create a new structure with all needed files (old an new), so I only have to check manually if all is right, and then rename the directories, such that the new structure is used BUT: the scripts are only rughly tested, adapted to our structure, only useable on Linux. Perhaps you'd like to have a look at it to get an idea? I have another idea, but didn't have the time to check it out, yet. In my script-update script, any time I update the unattended scripts from cvs, the script logs all changes and makes a backup of changed scripts. In the log I have the output from the diff command, e.g: # tail oldscripts/update.log :: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830 :: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356 - -:: URL|ALL|http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/a/a/4aa524c6-239d-47ff-860b-5b397199cbf8/Windows-KB890830-V1.16.exe|updates/common/windows-kb890830-v1.16.exe - -todo.pl .reboot-on 194 %Z%\updates\common\Windows-KB890830-V1.16.exe /Q +:: URL|ALL|http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/a/a/4aa524c6-239d-47ff-860b-5b397199cbf8/Windows-KB890830-V1.17.exe|updates/common/windows-kb890830-v1.17.exe +todo.pl .reboot-on 194 %Z%\updates\common\Windows-KB890830-V1.17.exe /Q So a third script could grep through the log, search all lines with -:: URL| and delete the old files accordingly or move it to dust bin.

the linux boot image together with pxe, cause of your newer

Here's a short summary:
in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf have e.g.:

option broadcast-address 172.16.254.255;
option routers 172.16.254.2;
option domain-name-servers 172.16.254.2;
option domain-name yourdomain.tld.;
filename pxelinux.0;
}
(adjust this to your needs)
in /var/lib/tftpboot (or where ever your tftpboot dir is) have:
bzImage
initrd
pxelinux.0
in subdirectory pxelinux.cfg have
default
cat pxelinux.cfg/default
- --

It's a bit strange, but this
http://www.smi-softmark.de/unattendedcvs/unattended-cvs.tar.gz
contains the install share and here
http://www.smi-softmark.de/unattendedcvs/unattended-cvs-2.6.17.tar.bz2
is a newer Kernel and it's linuxaux directory, which you should
replace. For your convenience I've uploaded the missing pxefiles
pxefiles.tar.bz2 so you should have all you need.
If you are unsure, drop me a mail.

Oh, one small thing, it doesn't ;-) No, seriously, I mean, the whole install process boots up perfectly, but I ran into errors where I shouldn't. Here it is: After the initial few questions regarding the partitioning of the disk, the bootloader exits with the following message: Scanning for OS directories under Z:\os... None found! bailing at /z/dosbin/install.pl line 753. Now, I know what you will say: please copy you Win-cd contents to the os dir. Well, of course, I did that. The /install/os dir, as well as a /install/os/winxp dir, nothing works... Could you give me another nudge? Hmm. You have XP in install/os/winxpsp2/i386/... ??? Perhaps you should copy the CD-contents _from within Win***_ to the share, as there might be issues with case sensitivity. The other thing I could imagine is, that you mixed 4.6 and 4.7-cvs versions.

That's great. Hope this helps others, too.
Run unattended and have fun...
I use unattended with a mysql database - so if i ever have more time, i will
do
a mysql based of the postinst.sh script. For now i manuel edit this file...
If I correctly remember there's a way to use unattended.txt files
according to the mac address as (mac-address-here).txt. Perhaps this
could be a way here, too, if somebody knows if there is (or we can get
somewhere from) an environment variable with the mac address to use it
during postinst.sh.
Or put in /etc/master something like
val=$(get_cmdline_param z_special)
[ -n $val ] Z_SPECIAL=${val#*=}
(around line 180 there same is done for Z_PATH etc.).
Then, in postinst.sh you can have:
if [ -n $Z_SPECIAL ] ; then
# FOR IBM ...
else
# FOR NORMAL PC ...
fi
So, if you specify e.g. z_special=1 on the linuxboot command line,
your script gets executed.
To solve the problem the right way, i though a bartpe or a complete new
linux
bootdisk would be a good way. Also we have to find a way to add Windows Vista
Support.
I think I've read that Brad Erdman is working on a solution to install
Vista with Bart's PE.

Re: [Unattended] NTLDR Missing - Nooooo!!!!!
Hi, The symptoms I see are that when the script gets to the point where the newly created partition is formatted, I get a screen full of error writing sector messages (or some similar message). When this happened, I tried to I could imagine that - after partitioning - the linux kernel didn't refresh it's information about the disk layout and so things go wrong, perhaps a reboot in this situation could help. remove the primary partition, and have unattended re-create it, but I still got the same error message. I'm not sure what causes it, but I suspect it may have something to do with the MBR. I fix it by running DBAN (Darik's boot and Nuke) and completely erase the first 1% of the disk, then I reboot. This totally destroys the partition table and MBR, and then unattended works OK. You could do the same from within unattended boot: change to second terminal with Alt-F2, the following does the same as your solution - just destroys the first sectors on the disk (the count is x * 512 bytes): dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda count=2 That might help in your case, however, you might not want to do that if you have a diagnostics partition on your hard disk. In fact, I don't know if DBAN would work on an SATA drive (If that is what you are using). Yes, but if you use unattended, according to the way you use the partitioning (fdisk or parted), the first or all partitions must be cleaned anyway, Regards, Falko PS: Please do not full quote messages, only what is relevant. -- Falko Trojahn fon +49-341-3581294 Dipl-Ingenieur Netzwerke/Support fax +49-341-3581295 SMI Softmark Informationstechnologien GmbH - Take Surveys.

Re: [Unattended] NTLDR Missing - Nooooo!!!!!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Tim, Unfortunately this version still didn't work. And we already have the format line there. I just did another run, but this time edited the doit.bat before it did it. I took the last line off so setup didnt start, then I continued. I saw the format happen, then as expected, I dropped to a DOS style prompt. Hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and the laptop rebooted, and I started up my favorite partition manager. At this point, you can do e.g. Alt-F2 and then parted /dev/dsk print to see what's on. It lists one ~60GB FAT32 partition as a primary and active. Well, this means there's nothing at all done since after partitioning with unattended there _must_ be an active primary 4GB Fat32 on first position and - as you like - any other partition after the free space which is resized within Windows setup process. The MBR has an unknown IPL (which I assume is the FreeDOS one). There are no errors listed anywhere... BUT - There is more than 600MB used on that partition apparently. This shouldn't be the case since the format should have removed it. I have a suspicion that the format isn't happening for some reason. No partitioning, no formatting I assume. Perhaps you could send the used unattend.txt/config.pl/[unattend.csv], keys stripped off, of course. Or, you could try my setup which is described here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=19294502 Again, we need a solution to log the details of the unattended setup process and of the pc if it comes to problems ...

In the next step fdisk creates a primary partition with 100% of the remaining space (/pri:100,100) with /spec:7 which is NTFS IIRC. E.g. 80% would be /pri:80,100. Why there is a /delete with a new creation of a partition, don't know. The XP/W2K setup can only use 4G fat32 for it's primary setup, after second reboot the partition is extended to the end of the disc or, in this case, to the begin of the next partition. That's why we must create first a partition in the size that we want for C:, then the second partition for D:, then delete the first and create one with 4G size, which during setup is extended to the begin of D:. In the last step fdisk activate the first partition, this means the bootflag is set. Why the second partion isn´t formated Because you create the partition with fdisk, this means the partition is created but not formated. This is done with the format command (take a look into unattended.txt). How can I reach that the second partion is formated with NTFS so that I can put my ProfilesDir their. unattend.csv: computer1,ProfilesDir,D:\Dokumente und Einstellungen This could be tricky, I don't know out of my head if the format command on the bootdisk is able format with NTFS. I'm pretty sure you need to format with FAT first and then convert it to NTFS during installation. Yes, that's right. Fdisk only creates the partition(s), after that the partitions are formatted according to the content of the variable format_cmd.

Re: [Unattended] a truly unattended install (get hostname from DHCP or a database)?
If there is no MAC address in the file, Unattended will not auto-generate the name in a specified format; and if the user gives the name, the MAC address will not be appended to the current unattend.csv file. With many workstations, it's not really a good choice. An ideal would be something like that: - configurable prefix for all workstations, i.e. a prefix of pc for all workstations (pc001, pc002 etc.) installed with Unattended - if the workstation is in the database, install it quietly - if the workstation is not in the database, generate a missing part after prefix (could be configurable; numbers 1-1000 etc.), and add it to the database I think it should be possible with little perl tweaking in site/config.pl, e.g. to do something like pc-(last 4 numbers of MAC here). But up to now we prefer the csv/mysql method, since several pc's need tweaking e.g. Full Name, what software is installed (aka batch is used) etc. So it's just easy with a web-interface for mysql to copy a pc config with new name and new mac, tweak it's settings if needed, and ready to go. Copying some lines in unattended.csv is also possible, but really a lot of work with lot's of pc's.

Hi, Matt Hyclak wrote: On Fri, Dec 30, 2005 at 11:19:39AM -0500, Matt Hyclak enlightened us: Situation: Install starts, copies all files and on the first boot into Windows, the following error appears: NTLDR is missing Press any key to restart This only seems to be happening on Intel Motherboards, specifically the 865GLC and the 915GAG. In VMware, the same setup/linux boot cd works perfectly, as it did on an older Dell machine I just re-imaged. ... The 4.6 Linux boot disk seems to work fine. It's the 4.7pre from CVS that does not. My guess is that the updated parted/format is not correctly setting up the MBR in the latest CVS snapshot? Just had similar problem - no start after first reboot, 4.7pre, but I could track it down to the following, may be this helps you, too: I think, the BIOS hadn't recognized the hard disk correctly, when booting e.g. with Knoppix fdisk -l showed me partition not bound to cylinder endings (or so, just translated from German). In BIOS I changed the setting from Auto to LBA mode for this disk - there was no newer BIOS available - AND I had to zero first sector(s) (be careful, all data lost!) with dd. Before this, the number of cylinders shown by fdisk was 240, then 255. After that the install run as usual (thanks to all the developers and contributors of Unattended, of course) and really quick on a P4 3GHz.

If you use the linuxboot.iso from 4.7pre (see former post in this list)
a newer, better working
parted is included, so the partition_cmds can be used without the
mkfs.vfat, e.g.
partition_cmds=parted /dev/dsk mklabel msdos;parted /dev/dsk mkpartfs
primary fat32 0 4000;parted -- /dev/dsk mkpart extended 2 -0;parted
-- /dev/dsk mkpartfs logical fat32 2 -0;sleep 2;parted /dev/dsk set
1 boot on;
partition_cmds_sys=parted /dev/dsk rm 1; parted /dev/dsk mkpartfs
primary fat32 0 4000; parted /dev/dsk set 1 boot on;
These vars mean:
partition_cmds_sys ... commands to partition/format only C:
(D: with user profiles and data
stays as it is)
partition_cmds ... commands to partition/format whole drive
Of course you can create more partitions, but note the use of mkpart :
mkpartfs.
The ntfs_d.bat in bottom script is this:
todo.pl .ignore-err 1 echo j|convert D: /FS:NTFS /X
(you have to use y here for sure).
So, first there is a BIG warning, then the one in front of the desk
may decide to just make the system partition new, the whole drive, or
leave all as it is.

But if I try to use our mysql db (just works quite nice with 4.6 linuxboot.iso or pxe-boot) I see the following error: /z/site/config.pl failed: Can't load '/opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/i586-linux-thread-multi/auto/DVD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: libz.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/i586-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230 at /z/lib/conf-mysql.pl line 20 Any ideas? The libz.so.0 and mysql.so files really exist in these places.

Re: [Unattended] Multiple partitions and profilesdir
Hi Thomas,
While browsing the archive I've come at least twice across postings
asking for putting the ProfilesDir on another partition.
I've been searching for such a solution, too, so thanx for your approach.
Nevertheless, I've some thoughts about it.
I have worked out the following solution:
My Setup: Drive C: Windows, Drive D: Applications, Drive E: Documents
and Settings
Put the following code in your site/config.pl
...
I think, there should be something to warn about erasing the full drive,
'cause the function
with the question according to fdisk_confirm isn't called here ... =8-
It would be better, too, if we could distinguish between the system
partition
and the data partition(s), e. g.
Only C:- partition_cmds_system
Whole Disk: - partition_cmds
In case of installation we can decide to partition the whole drive
or just renew the system partition without data partition(s).
So, I've got a slightly different solution here. I'm no perl programmer,
but it seems to work here (I've reduced the setup to
two partitions, but this surely can be changed):
In unattended.txt:
---
partition_cmds=parted /dev/dsk mklabel msdos;parted /dev/dsk mkpart
primary fat32 0 4000;parted -- /dev/dsk mkpart extended 1
-0;parted -- /dev/dsk mkpart logical fat32 1 -0;sleep 2;parted
/dev/dsk set 1 booton;make-blkdev-nodes hda;mkfs.vfat /dev/dsk1 -F
32;mkfs.vfat /dev/dsk5 -F 32
partition_cmds_sys=parted /dev/dsk rm 1; parted /dev/dsk mkpart primary
fat32 0 4000; parted /dev/dsk set 1 boot on;make-blkdev-nodes
hda;mkfs.vfat /dev/dsk1 -F 32;
; if the drive isn't partitioned, we have to delete the C: drive and
; format it
fdisk_confirm=1
--
Just for the protocol:
The -- after parted are to indicate, that there are no options to
follow
(needed if there is a -0 in the command) - had to fined that out, too ...
In config.pl:
-
sub my_partition_cmds {
chdir (/usr/sbin);
symlink /z/linuxaux/usr/sbin/mkfs.vfat, mkfs.vfat;
chdir (/);
my $partition_cmds = $u-{'_meta'}-{'partition_cmds'};
defined $partition_cmds
or $partition_cmds = $u-{'_meta'}-{'partition_cmds_sys'}
or return undef ;
while (1) {
($u-{'_meta'}-{'fdisk_confirm'})
or last;
print \n;
print About to PARTITION the WHOLE FIRST HARD DRIVE!\n\n;
print WARNING: This operation erases the disk!\n;
print If unsure, say NO, and ONLY C: will be DELETED.\n;
print If you won't neither, press CTRL-ALT-DEL!\n;
yes_no_choice (Are you sure)
and last;
$partition_cmds = '';
$partition_cmds = $u-{'_meta'}-{'partition_cmds_sys'};
defined $partition_cmds
or return undef;
last;
}
foreach my $cmd (split /;/, $partition_cmds) {
print Executing command to partition: $cmd...\n;
system ($cmd);
}
};
$u-{'_meta'}-{'fdisk_cmds'} = \my_partition_cmds;
-
I think, there should be a test, if we are under linux, with the
$is_linux function, too.
But this isn't relevant for me.
What script have you got for converting the D:,E: ... partitions to ntfs?
As you use a separate partition for programsdir: do you change
the default programs dir via registry?
Best regards,
Falko
