So to be clear I tried an older Ubuntu system running dapper and put on the version 3.8.2 package converted from rpms using alien. Reboot the machine using systemimger install kernel.... drive repartitioned, rsync installed files.... and then tried rebooting....
got (on the console, it dropped into busybox afterwards) ALERT /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX where XXXX is a hex identifier from the golden client for the root device, however, on the autoinstalled client this identifier is different and so it could not find it. NOTE. On the golden client I edited the installed /etc/fstab and got rid of all the weird disk partition identifiers and just used /dev/hda# instead. The interesting thing is the image on the image server, of course, has no /dev/disk/ since, as I understand it, /dev/ is a kernel maintained structure and yet the autoinstalled client remembered the identifier from the golden client, a different piece of hardware but hardware that is the "same". walter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
