RE: Sysinstall does not install GENERIC kernel
Yes, 'kernels' still doesn't work. I have January2007 ISO images, maybe later it was fixed. I don't know. And one more thing. Is there anyone who can explain why these commands are failed? http://beautynn.cololo.com/lj/tupoy/system.gif -Original Message- From: Kris Kennaway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 7:51 PM To: Kris Kennaway; Belov, Sergey; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Sysinstall does not install GENERIC kernel On Mon, Apr 09, 2007 at 04:39:08AM -0500, Josh Paetzel wrote: Kris Kennaway wrote: On Mon, Apr 09, 2007 at 09:23:38AM +0400, Belov, Sergey wrote: hit the same bug too with FreeBSD-6.1.

Are you sure it was not fixed in 6.2? Kris distSetCustom has been broken ever since the goo was added to make sysinstall smart enough to install either GENERIC or SMP depending on how many processors are in the machine. After that change was made the kernels target to distSetCustom stopped working. My workaround has been to hack the distSetMinimal target in sysinstall to put in what I want. I guess I should've submitted a PR at some point... Yes.

hit the same bug too with FreeBSD-6.1.

BTW, I've just selected distSetMinimum and in this case kernel was istalled. But except of this a problem I found a new trouble: system commands which I've put in install.cfg doesn't seems to be executed. It just stops with the error 'system -1 command not found' or something like that. Even when the commands are pretty simple like this: command=/sbin/shutdown -p now system It doesn't work and stops with the error. How about your commands? Can you show some examples of your install.cfg here if it works properly? :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sysinstall does not install GENERIC kernel
I found a strange problem while making automatic install disk from official iso 6.2-RELEASE. I've made a custom install.cfg: ## # This is the installation configuration file # Turn on extra debugging. debug=yes nonInteractive=yes # My host specific data hostname=testmachine domainname=test.com nameserver=192.168.50.10 # Which installation device to use mediaSetCDROM # Select which distributions we want. #dists=base bin catpages info manpages ports prof dists=base catpages info manpages proflibs kernel distSetCustom disk=ad0 partition=all bootManager=standard diskPartitionEditor # All sizes are expressed in 512 byte blocks! ad0s1-1=ufs 614400 / ad0s1-2=swap 1048576 none ad0s1-3=ufs 2048 /usr 1 ad0s1-4=ufs 0 /var 1 diskLabelEditor diskLabelCommit # OK, everything is set. Do it! installCommit 3 Then I placed it to prepared iso: gunzip mfsroot.gz mdconfig -a -t vnode -f mfsroot mount /dev/md0 /mnt/floppy cp ~/install.cfg /mnt/floppy umount /mnt/floppy mdconfig -d -u 0 gzip mfsroot Then I created a new bootable iso-image and burnt it to CD-RW. But after installing it on the test machine and after rebooting of that machine the system was unable to boot. Because the /boot/kernel/ directory was empty, no modules, no kernels been in there. Why the sysintsall didn't copy GENERIC kernel to my hard disk?? All distribution was copied but only the kernel and modules weren't. Is it a bug or a feature? And how to fix it? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
