Subject: [Sisuite-users] mkbootpackage (bug 1426566)
Note: I originally posted this with the wrong From and it got
stuck in moderation.
Sorry if this is a dupe...
I am having some
trouble getting an autoinstall CD to work. This is
following up on bug report
1426566, where I took the suggestion
to try an experimental version of SI. I
like the idea of being able to
make the autoinstall CD from the installed
system, btw...
* experimental SI 3.6.3
* golden client is Fedora
Core 4 w/ updates (kernel 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4)
* hardware is an athlon64 XPC
with nvidia SATA controller (sata_nv) with
one SATA hard drive (sda)
and nvidia onboard Gbit NIC (forcedeth)
note -- I am running all
32-bit binaries because I need to support older
32-bit systems with the same
image
I originally was messing with si_mkbootpackage and the
kernel/initrd created
by si_prepareclient, but then I noticed that the
standard boot package is 2.6.12
and has sata_nv and forcedeth drivers, so I
made that autoinstallcd and tried it.
The forcedeth driver loads and
works;
The sata_nv driver loads and works;
BUT then parted chokes
with:
program parted is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it
to SG_IO
The parted version is 1.6.25 and autointall kernel is
2.6.12_boel_v3.6.3
For FC4, parted is 1.6.22 and kernel is 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4
and works fine.
So, this doesn't look like a simple versioning issue;
probably the FC project
has patched parted to support
SG_IO
