any clue why this would happen in disk_config / etch

hi i'm using fai 3.2.8 in etch. my fai client is a machine running on a adaptec raid card. I'd love to use lenny for a fai server and install lenny on the fai-client machine, but i can't, there is an issue out there right now with certain older adaptec raid cards and current kernel in lenny.

Ok, so we'll need to debug that script. Could you send the output of ls -la /dev/sda? I think it must be line 18 that fails. reminder, my fai server is etch ( not etch-and-a-half) , fai 3.2.8 packages all around. on the fai-client: db2-interface2:~# file /dev/sda /dev/sda: block special (8/0)

Ok, seems like FAI 3.2.8 is not fully compatible with etch :-); I guess you will need to hack the disk-info script in your NFSROOT. I think it should suffice to look at the code of disk-info and do the reverse of what the comment in line 17 says, that is: - throw away line 18 - put [
