Hi, I filed #245012 against the "package" installation-reports since I am unable to find what is the right package that should handle this.
The problem is that without initrd only some filesystems are available for mounting the root device, because they are compiled into the kernel. I would like to have d-i know what file systems are compiled in this way and let the user format the root filesystem using one of those. It might be possibile to just warn the user and tell him about the problem. Yesterday, on powerpc, i did create a root XFS partition and, after the first reboot I was unable to mount it with kernel kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-pmac :-( Probably the right way is to require that all kernels used during the installation have ext2/3, reiserfs, and XFS built into the kernel. Any idea about how to solve this? Thanks, Giuseppe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
