Public bug reported:
Hello all,
Have a problem here that I am hoping to have solved. I personally prefer
Ubuntu (being South African), but if we cannot get this to work, we will
need to move back to Debian. :(
Previously using Debian 3.x and 4.0, the bootcd system worked well and
allowed us to successfully backup our systems.
We installed a PDMENU script for a user on the running system to restore
the image using bootcd2disk.
What it looks like is that from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server (i386 - have not
tried others), IDE support has been totally removed and replaced by
serial technology.
I found I had to take the following steps in order to get the image
created:
1.) Symbolically link /boot/System.map-$kernelversion to /kernelinfo
2.) Remove symbolic link for /bin/sh to /bin/dash and use /bin/bash instead.
(This I believe has been solved in Ubuntu 8.10)
3.) Modified the GRUB bit in /usr/share/bootcd/bootcd2probe to reflect the
title I want when the image is nuked down.
Besides those modifications, I have changed nothing else.
The image is created perfectly and I can easily burn the ISO to disk. When
trying to boot the disk, the probe happens and does a wonderful countdown (in
the spirit of the New Year) ;) .
Thereafter, it complains that it is unable to change directory to /proc/ide.
This, I am assuming is the filesystem on the CDFS.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
