Comments/Problems:
Initial boot: Maybe not soe much an error, I had to specify the
console at the boot prompt "console=hvc0,38400"
Detect had drives: During an attempt to reinstall after a failed
install, I had to drop to a shell and remove
any existing logical volumes before the
disk detection process was able to detect
the hard drive. Otherwise, it simply told
me that there were not hard drives...
Overall install:
* Although the URL above is for the SID installer, when the
install was complete, I noticed that LENNY had been installed.
I noticed this by looking at the /etc/apt/sources.list file.
Other issues that I was not particularly happy with were:
1.
Selecting guided LVM allowed a the root filesystem to be
placed in a logical volume (which I wanted), but then the
yaboot.conf file was still writted to /etc/yaboot.conf.
I had to manually rescue the system after the install and
move /etc/yaboot.conf to /boot/etc/yaboot.conf. In my view
LVM is going to be the way forward and this configuration
file should not been located on the root filesystem. I
hope everyone is aware of this issue and has looked at
keeping files required to boot the system in /boot
2.
After fixing the location of the yaboot.conf file, the
system refused to boot. It was trying to boot the label
"old" which was invalid because the kernel has not yet
been upgraded. I therefore had to add the following to
the yaboot.conf before the correct default entry would
boot:
defaultos=Linux
3.
I also had issues with multipath root and LVM:
3.1
I had to add multipath to the lvm2 PREREQ's in order
for multipath to be started before LVM.
3.2
Debian installer was called with:
disk-detect/multipath/enable=true
However, once the install had completed, the lvm.conf
was not configured to filter out the underlying SCSI
devices. I had to add the following filter:
filter = [ "r/disk/", "r/sd.*/", "a/.*/" ]
After rebuilding the initramfs (above two changes
commited), it all worked quite nicely ;)
