I believe this is related to file descriptor redirection. The menu option to run a shell seem to behave in a similar way, being executed and accepting input but not displaying any output. When looking in /proc/#/fd/, I notice that fd 0, 1 and 2 are all pointing to /dev/console, while fd 4 and 7 are pointing to a pipe, fd 4 and 5 are pointing to /dev/pty/s0, fd 6 is pointing to /dev/tty and fd 8 is pointing to the disk being partitioned. Changing /usr/share/partitioner/common.sh to redirect stdout to /dev/tty solved the problem. I replaced "cfdisk $DISK" with "cfdisk $DISK > /dev/tty". I'm not sure why this worked. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
