I've been beating my head up against this one for a bit, and think I may
have found some sort of leads on this....
I have several images (from golden clients) that were made with 3.8.1-1 and
3.8.2-1. I moved the images (and scripts, etc) to a test SI-server to test
the restore process. The SI-server originally was on 3.8.1-1 and restored
with no issues. I upgraded the test server to 3.8.2-1 and tried a known
good image for restoration, but it failed when it started the partitioning
on /dev/sda (Dell PE2650). After exiting from the restore scripts, I ran
fdisk -l and it returned nothing. lsmod shows nothing. modprobe could not
parse modules.dep. Not really sure what to do, I uninstalled 3.8.2-1 and
reinstalled 3.8.1-1 and the restoration worked with no issues. So I copied
/usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/* to standard-3.8.1-1. I
uninstalled 3.8.1-1 and reinstalled 3.8.2-1 and it was broke again. So I
copied the 3.8.1-1 boot files over the 3.8.2-1 files (in
/usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard) and tried the restoration
again. It worked with no problems.
I unpackaged both versions of the initrd.img (from 3.8.1-1 and 3.8.2-1) and
the file list was exactly the same. md5sum shows that most (if not all) the
files were different...I think that is to be expected though.
So why is it that I can detect /dev/sda from the 8.3.1-1 boot files but not
from the 8.3.2-1 boot files?
The missing module was aic7xxx, btw.
Thanks,
