Time to ramble a bit... I've been having major problems trying to get an installation to work on an operton with 3 sda disks using LVM, and thanks to Andrea it looks like sdb went bad! I was able to edit my autoinstallscript to change all occurances of sdb to sdc and remove all the sdc's and so I can now build/format the partitions and lay down an image. My first point/question is it would sure be nice if there were more checking for device integrity in the autoinstall script. This stuff is so solid (and I mean that as a compliment), whenever something goes wrong I assume it's me. So when I saw a lot of sdb errors I figured I must have screwed up retrieving the image and/or building the autoinstall script. A couple of checks might have save me and andrea a lot of time tracking this down.
So, now I'm able to image the system, but systemconfigurator now craps out with errors on sdb and I'm guessing there must be a file somewhere that says to do something with that disk. I looked at /etc/mtab and /proc/partitions and there are no references to sdb. Is there somewhere else I should look? Might I screwed up my autoinstall script - I don't think so. Is there an easy way to just edit my autoinstallscript.conf file to change sdb to sdc - this uses LVM and things are a little more complicated. Clearly this is a non-standard situation and it's probably not critical I solve it as I can just swap some drives when I get into the office on monday, but it would be nice to be able to confirm I can to an end-to-end installation with 3.7.4 on an opteron with scsi disks. As an aside, I tried to get the remote console monitoring stuff working and it didn't work. Since there's no documentation on any of this I couldn't verify I was doing it correctly. 8-( I also discovered the console log in /tmp, but it doesn't contain all the error messages. Is there not an easy way to capture them? I'm also a little puzzled about what gets logged an how since I see the rsycn request, the run_post_install, but nothing from systemconfigurator - specifically the error messages. -mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
