[Unattended] unattended-gui-0.5.1

2007-12-10 Thread Kevin G. Erdmann
I am using a PXE server and have had success using the bzimage and 
initrd supplied by unattended-4.6.  However, due to network card driver 
issues I have moved to use the unattended-gui-0.5.1 kernel and root.  
The machine boots up fine but when it asks for the z mount and I enter 
the path, user, and password then it loops again.  It appears that I 
cannot enter anything onto the password line (guest).  I have tried 
passing the appropriate arguments on the append line in 
tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default.  My changes will show up in the question 
boxes but it continues to loop.

Thank you.

HI,
there is a bug in the kernel I think. It only accept up to 137 chars via
the command line. I only affects the 0.5.1. An update will be available
soon. But it should work if you run through the dialogs... Have you
checked the log on tty4 and 5? Maybe there is an other error?

greetings amrio

[Unattended] unattended-boot-CD too old kernel

2007-12-10 Thread Nagilum
Hi guys,

as I'm still using the normal unattendet, I ran into the problem of the
old kernel and missing support for newer hardware.
I just thought that I could use the gui-boot-cd but after a look at the
doku, it seems to be very different and breaks with a missing init.sh on
drive z.
Because I have configured my unattended netinstall and didn't find any good
documentation about unattended-gui until now (or it's just 2 late), I'd like
to know if someone already updatet the original unattended-boot-cd (and if
there is a downloadable version online)?
If someone wants to put it online but is missing a hoster, I could spend
some HD-space on my server.

Regards
 - Nagilum

I've been using the unattended-gui 0.1 CD to boot into my unattended 4.6 
installation environment for some time, with no changes to unattended. 
Recently I needed the newer kernel for a driver module, and I got some 
assistance to use the PXE boot. I used the root filesystem from 0.1 and 
the kernel image from 0.51, which works perfectly for the one machine 
(HP Compaq 8510p) I needed - still no changes needed on the unattended 
4.6 environment (:

Greg.
