Olivier,
Thanks for the reply. This is a truncated resend as the original was over
the 40KB limit and is awaiting moderator approval ...
So are you looking at two switches(one for firmware inclusion and one for
link ?)
The link is needed to handle situations like below - rhel6.4 with three
kernels installed( 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 current one). As you
can see below the drbd module is actually a link to the module directory
when it was initially installed. Subsequent kernel updates just link back.
Obvioulsy RH does this - not sure about Centos or others.

I agree a more deterministic way for firmware is needed - my hack was to
copy ALL of /lib/firmware. At the time of uyok generation we should be
able to be more selective.
As per the lvcreate hang it definitely looks like a lvm tools issue(it did
work successfully with a previous pkg). No I didn't try without lvm as the
host I was testing with
was lvm - have you or anyone else tested without lvm - it should be the
same.
Thanks again
Ugly weather here with snow on the car this morning ... maybe I should
give up on the bike and go back to the skis !

hi David,
Thanks a lot for your report.
Thanks also for the patch. It is not yet integrated because I want to have
a deterministic way of managing firmwares. I don't want to end in a
situation when errors occure because guy A had installed a package and guy
B didn't.
I think that the best way for the moment is to add command line switch to
include system installed firmwares . By this way, the user will known that
the problem can come from a missing firmware.
For the L switch, I understand that it is needed for the firmware sync,
but this triggers some problems elsewhere were files a copied twice
instead of having a link and a file.
using L switch is a quick hack but the image gets even bigger (already
very big).
I'm aware of both issues, and I'll find a solution.
The freeze problem is more problematic. Did you try without using LVM? If
it works, then it may be a bad lvm tools build (using system libs instead
of initrd built libs..... I tryed to fix most of them, but lvm may be one
of them.
Best regards,
PS: Right now, I'm working on debian systemimager oscar-packager. I'll be
back soon.
Olivier.
