Hi, I'm using 3.1.8ubuntu1 with feisty (No ubuntu change touches the config parts of fai)
With the diskconfig file below (part1 is DellUtil vfat, part2 is Windows XP ntfs), fai computes way to high cylinder number (log below). $ cat disk_config/DELL_LAPTOP # generic disk configuration for one small disk # disk size from 500Mb up to what you can buy today # # <type> <mountpoint> <size in mb> [mount options] [;extra options] # Note: AFS: openafs-client/cachesize in debconf/<thisclass> << afs cache partition disk_config disk1 primary - preserve1 primary - preserve2 primary / 50- defaults,errors=remount-ro ; -m 3 -j ext3 logical /var/cache/afs 2000 defaults ; -m 0 -j ext3 logical swap 3000 sw ; gives this in fai.log: Mapping disk name disk1 to hda Creating partition table: LC_ALL=C sfdisk -q /dev/hda < /var/log/fai/current/partition.hda Warning: The partition table looks like it was made for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 116280/16/63). For this listing I'll assume that geometry. sfdisk: I don't like these partitions - nothing changed. (If you really want this, use the --force option.)
