Bug#375786: initramfs-tools: Volume group not activated with LILO

2006-06-27 Thread Christian Weeks
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.65b Severity: important Tags: patch Hi. It appears that the new volume group activation code doesn't work with LILO. The culprit is that LILO's fe00 is substituted for /dev/root. I have attached a patch that should fix this behaviour to be correct. I have

2005-11-03 Thread Christian Weeks
I didn't think the module build was the problem either. You're right though- my laptop is a Dell D600 latitude, with a 1.6 GHz Centrino chipset. One thing I did notice is that it's using the generic ide chipset module, rather than one for my laptop. I will verify that this is the same with the

Bug#315030: writes gateway ip to /etc/resolv.conf when using preseeded settings

2005-06-21 Thread Christian Weeks
I too have noticed this problem. It is very annoying when I'm trying to do a network console based install. I've looked at the code and I think the problem is in netcfg-common.c, function netcfg_get_nameservers. Lines 823-835 appear to try and be smart by offering the gateway IP address when
