Ok, I am sneaking up on it. Turns out that the CD is assigned device /dev/hde and the script appears to only try mounting hda->hdd before exiting. If I mount it by hand I can see the path and the local.cfg file.
I've searched all over after unzipping the initrd and loopback mounting it but can't find where that mount happens. Anyone have any suggestions how I can get this to keep looking until it finds a /hde? thanks, knt -----Original Message----- From: dann frazier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 1:02 AM To: Kent Wert Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [Sisuite-users] Systemimager message ...

Any idea what I did to get this message and how > I can resolve? it looks like you're on the right track. the script tries to mount your cdrom and run a local.cfg script. the local.cfg script is not a normal systemimager local.cfg script - see the mkrecoveryiso script to see what its local.cfg looks like. it appears to determine where the local.cfg script is from options passed to the kernel - cat /proc/cmdline to see what this is set to. (note that i've never used this tool before, so i don't claim to know how everything works). ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Sisuite-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-users
