Can't you just re-master your ISO by sticking the local.cfg file there? Most people actually use the network boot feature - is there any particular reason you're not network booting your machines? Cheers, Bernard > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED

You can try, but the 3.7.3 I have up there is from an older revision. I wouldn't try 3.7.3 unless you are willing to spend time to debug it (after all it is code from trunk). I can put up a SRPM of the latest trunk which you can rebuild later on. Cheers, Bernard > -Original Message- >

[Sisuite-users] Device creation, si-3.6, UYOK

2006-04-12 Thread greg
Hello again, I am attempting to use the si_mkbootpackage tool since my machines are based on an LSI SATA controller and 3.6 does not have the mpt* stuff included. The package boots fine, but no devices are created, /dev is empty. How can I remedy this? Regards, Greg ---

Scott, I've run into the same problem with using a boot cd with 3.4.1 - Not sure if the code has changed since then but the only way I could get it to work was booting from cd and having the local.cfg file on a floppy. Obviously what you would like is to be able to have a local.cfg on the cd. D

This is because Greg is using my development version of 3.6.3 which only creates one disk per IDE/SCSI (i.e. /dev/hda and /dev/sda). At this point 3.6.3 should really be deprecated and everybody should wait for 3.7.3 to become stable enough to be used. So far our tests are pretty encouraging. Ch

Hey All Is there a trick to building the boot cd using the si_mkautobootcd application? When booting from the livecd it runs through its checks fine and locates the DHCP server and pulls an address like its suppose to (DHCP is being handled by my IPCOP router) but then (me looking at the log
