Hi Mark,
as Bernard mentioned, I'm maintaining the OSCAR variant of
systemconfigurator, which is currently the only version which seems to be
maintained at all.
I've also looked at your patches and have a few concrete questions:
in Grub.pm:
+ else {
+ $smartArrayFlag=1;
+ $file="/boot/grub/device.map";
+ verbose("using existing map file $file");
+ croak("$file doesn't contain required 'hd' entry for SmartArray
devices") if `grep hd $file` eq '';
+ }
Can you rely on the fact that the device.map file exists? I have the
impression that it is created in the if branch above, so won't necessarilly be
present.
As you can see in function device_map, we are unconditionally creating
/etc/mtab and the device.map. What exactly is the "new" device.map missing for
your case? And where is the old device.map coming from? From your image? That
doesn't exist on an OSCAR image because that one is freshly created from RPMs.
Thanks,
best regards,
Erich
