kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11 root=/dev/hda2 ro quiet splash devfs=mount The entire process: 1) some months ago, ide-scsi was not in the systemimager-boot-i386-standard package's kernel, so I added it with something like mkbootpackage, which I've now forgotten how. Not connected to the current problem which seems to be udev. 2) After syncing, inside chroot, /dev/hda is not seen, so device.map is incorrect, and the MBR is not written. Outside the chroot, in the systemimager kernel, /dev/hda is seen. So I added to the master script, after rsync-ing the image, before umounting: dd if=/a/etc/systemimager/aims/hda.mbr of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 cp /a/etc/systemimager/aims/device.map /a/boot/grub/device.map 3) udev still has a problem: /dev/console does not exist. So the image now has the devfs=mount line in menu.1st as shown at the top. I have actually only done this all manually, from liveCDs and systemimager shellout prompts, but a new node has booted, so I put in all in the master script now and am testing it. Will report shortly. cheers, Jan -- .~. /V\ Jan Groenewald /( )\ www.aims.ac.za ^^-^^ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Sisuite-users mailing list Sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-users
