I am using SI 3.0.1.4 to restore the image of a client back
onto the same system (first test of SI) .  The boot from CD
and a /local.cfg in a floppy diskette triggers autoinstall
from the server.  The autoinstall script partitions the
disk (RAID) at the client, and labels the partitions.

At the end, the script invokes "systemconfigurator --configsi" ,
which congigures hardware, networking and bootstrap.  But during
the last, the "Grub.pm" module reports it can't find a partition
with the '/' label and dies.

The original /etc/fstab looks like :

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults
1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext2    defaults
1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620
0 0
LABEL=/home             /home                   ext3    defaults
1 2
LABEL=/opt              /opt                    ext3    defaults
1 2
LABEL=/opt-logs         /opt-logs               ext3    defaults
1 2
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults
0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults
0 0
LABEL=/usr              /usr                    ext3    defaults
1 2
/dev/cciss/c0d0p8       swap                    swap    defaults
0 0
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              iso9660

/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto

rqa-admin-m:/export/swdepot /swdepot nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0

/usr/lib/systemconfigurator/Boot/Grub.pm is the problem stub.
The autoinstall script uses "tune2fs -L" to set labels for
each partition.


On a related note, I had to change the invocation to use "--verbose"
and "--debug" to see the script was not setting several required
variables (PREFERED, BOOTDEV, ROOTDEV, DEFAULTBOOT) and had to
add inline code or other changes to correct this.  OOPS !

I can't get "grub" or "grub-install" to setup the boot data.
Each complains about no corresponding BIOS device.  "fdisk"
shows the /boot partition (32 MB) as first on the first
disk on the first SCSI controller.
