Title: RE: [Sisuite-users] Regarding Grub.pm...

Which version of SystemImager are you using?  As far as I know this functionality already exists in 3.5.3 in the sense that you can create one image and as long as the hardware are similiar enough, it doesn't matter whether the device shows up as hda or sda.

Having said that, if you think you have a patch to offer, by all means submit it to sisuite-devel.

Cheers,

Bernard

Subject: [Sisuite-users] Regarding Grub.pm...

    Hopefully the answer to this will be quick for you guys, as I hate to
bother busy open sourcers with silly support requests. However, the problem
I am running into is as follows: We install all different linux
distributions (probably 6 or 7) and while the main system hardware is the
same. The disks may vary between IDE and Serial ATA. I dont really want to
make 14 different golden client images (7 for IDE and 7 for SATA) so I am
attempting to make grub.pm a little smarter. I have already modified the
master script so that it will detect whether its /dev/hda or /dev/sda, and
everything works absolutely perfectly until it tries to install grub.

    It looks like Grub.pm just uses the /boot/grub/device.map from the
golden client; which means that if its an IDE image, it will tell grub to
install the bootloader at /dev/hda. This works great! however I am wondering
if there is a way to add some level of detection to Grub.pm that says if [-e
/proc/ide/ide0/hda/model ]; then ...(create a device.map for /dev/hda), else
... (create a device.map for /dev/sda) fi I am running the latest stable
release of everything.

Any advice anyone can give me to get this last step done i'd be greatful.

Thank you,
-Drew
