Re: ClefOS 7.4 installation (was: RE: Truth/Troth what is the difference?)

That's my understanding of the reason for the /dev/root being missing; there's no root= in the kernel parms. Again, I have the ISO loop-mounted so I can IPL from it in Hercules, and I can find the install.img file, and the generic.ins file points to the install.img file andI don't know

Re: ClefOS 7.4 installation (was: RE: Truth/Troth what is the difference?)

A root= is needed for an install over the network. It needs to get hold of install.img from somewhere. Here's my console when I boot from the virtual reader and use and internal server to hold the 7.4.1708 image: RDR FILE 0732 SENT FROM CLCTLR PUN WAS 0674 RECS 054K CPY 001 B NOHOLD NOKEEP

Re: ClefOS 7.4 installation (was: RE: Truth/Troth what is the difference?)

There are two generic*.prm files in the iso in the images directory they have ro ramdisk_size=4 cio_ignore=all,!condef rd.cmdline=ask (genericdvd) ro ramdisk_size=4 cio_ignore=all,!condef (generic) I started using the support files to IPL in Hercules, and modified the generic.prm there

ClefOS 7.4 installation (was: RE: Truth/Troth what is the difference?)

I am installing ClefOS 7.4 to run under Hercules, to make sure what I have to do before attempting to install it (ClefOS) into an LPAR. Hercules is running under Centos 6.something on my laptop. I have the 74base.iso loop-mounted, so it should be loading everything via http within Hercules. I

I had a linux recovery session at share a couple years ago: http://linuxvm.org/Present/SHARE110/S9240jb.pdf the last section covers ripping open the Linux initrd and adding more tools to it to do bare metal recovery from the ramdisk - the approach is still valid, but some of the tools used have

(sighs) Been There, Done That... [NOSTALGIA] Picture it, a military contractor in the MID-1980s: On one short-lived contract gig there were something like 70 programmers and FIVE terminals. There was always a line to access the terminals. This was frustrating... and this was the mid-1980s.
