Extra partition being created
It would appear to me as though somehow an extra partition is being created during the disk setup. Here is my partition setup file, the partition.sda from the logs, is there a script somewhere adding an extra partition? #disk_config/FAIBASE # generic disk configuration for one small disk # disk size from 500Mb up to what you can buy today # #[mount options] [;extra options] disk_config disk1 primary / 3000- rw,errors=remount-ro ; -c -j ext3 logical swap 1000 rw # logical /homepreserve9 rw,nosuid; -m 1 -j ext3 #logs/partition.sda glue:/var/log/fai/node-27/last# cat partition.sda # partition table of device: /dev/sda unit: sectors /dev/sda1 : start=63, size= 33784632, Id= 83, bootable /dev/sda2 : start= 33784695, size= 2056320, Id= 5 /dev/sda3 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0 /dev/sda4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0 /dev/sda5 : start= 33784758, size= 2056257, Id= 82 The partition on /dev/sda2 is extra and not something I defined.

Which version of FAI are you using? Are you installing sarge or etch? Search thin mailing list. There are some mails concerning the udev setup using different FAI versions. -- regards Thomas I'm using FAI 2.10.5, and I'm installing sarge. But I don't find the way to make it works. My kernel is linux-image-2.6.17-fai-kernels_1_amd64.deb. When it's checking hard disks, I read something like IDE0: ATAPI 24x CDROM IDE1: The interface is obsolete, will be removing soon why? the IDE's cables can be wrong? Uf!! Thank you Fernando
