That looks broken indeed; yaird will decide the fstab cannot be trusted, and will not generate an initial boot image. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] yaird --test > Entries in fstab: > yaird error: malformed line in /etc/fstab:13 (fatal) Same thing: this tells you only that you need to fix fstab in order to get a full test report. > The problem I have is that I am not able to write MBR when using > GRUB after installation from CD to HDD- kano mentioned (I hope to understood > him correctly) that it can be > an yaird issue: > --- > # mount /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /mnt/hd > # grub-install --recheck --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt/hd dev/cciss/c0d0 > /dev/cciss/c0d0 does not have any corrsponding BIOS drive. > --- I've seen Grub working on Proliant, but google finds some problems with it.

At this point, it's not clear to me exactly what the symptoms are, and what the cause could be. So just a first question, and depending on outcome, we can discuss follow-up experiments. Could you * modify /etc/fstab to comment out the broken line 13, plus any other broken lines. * run yaird --debug and yaird --test, and mail the complete output Regards, Erik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
