Category: Initial RAM Disk Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: si_mkbootpackage results in unbootable cd Initial Comment: Version of systemimager: 3.5.3 Development system: Debian unstable, running kernel = 2.6.12.4 Alternate dev system = Ubuntu breezy badger w/kernel 2.6.12-9-386 I have made a custome kernel - v. 2.6.15 - starting with the config file from the "standard" i386 boot image in the package systemimager-boot-i386-standard. I have included the libata, sata_sil, drivers specifically so that I can attempt to have a bootable CD which will mount the sata drive on a Dell Precision 380 workstation. These things use the Intel ICH7 controller which is new. The good: This script works, which solidifies a process to follow to get a custom flavor built. The BAD: The best I can get is a system that boots, and finds my server, gets the install script from my stored image, but then cannot find /dev/sda to create a partition table/filesystem. This using the kernel supplied with the standard flavor, but using the si_mkbootpackage script to customize the modules to be loaded. Using MY custom kernel, there is a problem: It starts booting only to fail at: "Warning: unable to connect to a console". I am unable any more to build systemimager boot media that is relevant to my needs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bernard Li (bernardli) Date: 2006-01-23 10:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=879102 The code in branch/3.6.x supports the ICH7 - perhaps you can give that a try.
