Oh, thanks a lot.

But if it's possible, I will try with no debian-installer modifications (only the preseed file), no modify finish.d scripts. I want to include kernel parameters in only one Grub entry, no all entry. I will try with this: d-i preseed/late_command string /target/bin/sed "s/sda1/sda1 $KERNEL_PARAMETERS/" menu.lst > /target/boot/grub/menu.lst" For include kernel parameters in all Grub entries, I thing can be something like this: d-i preseed/late_command string /target/bin/sed "s/#kopt/kopt=$KERNEL_PARAMETERS/" menu.lst > /target/boot/grub/menu.lst"

Or you could drop a script into /usr/lib/finish-install.d/. To make your parameters permanent, you really need to add them in the configuration setting part of the file, i.e. either the line # kopt=[...] or # defoptions=[...] If you want to have them available after the first reboot, you should the either run update-grub in the /target chroot, or _also_ add them in the already generated sections for the installed kernel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Little preseed question
Hi Thanks. Yes, I'm thinking in a little "script" for a late_command, with sed. Like: d-i preseed/late_command string sed 's/kernel /kernel vga=0x17/g' /target/boot/grub/menu.lst I think can work... 2009/6/6 Terry D.

No need to CC me on replies. I read the list. On Saturday 06 June 2009, MaTa wrote: > Sorry If I hasn't explained so well.

You explained perfectly. And my answer basically says that's not supported. The only way the installer will add parameters for the installed system is if they were also passed to the installer itself. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Little preseed question
Thanks a lot for response. Sorry If I hasn't explained so well. But I want modify the entry of the installed system, no the execution of the debian-installer. I want change the "menu.lst" of the /target system, no the "debian-installer" "visual mode".

You can only do that by passing the same parameter to the installer itself. So basically, instead of just hitting when you start an installation, you should hit which will allow you to modify the boot parameters for the installer and add the vga parameter at the end.

Little preseed question
Hi Please I only only a little question. In debian-installer, using preseed file, in "grub-install" step, How I can specify some kernel parameters in the grub menu.lst entry of the installed system? How I can change the default parameters? Can I specify any instruction like "d-i grub-installer/kernel_parameters vga=0x317"? Thanks a lot. Sorry for my bad english Oriol Matavacas
