Hi I have just upgraded clients from feisty to hardy, and the dapper server is staying the same. I had this beauty to fix the sda-in-install / hda-in-installer problem, in the master script, before systemconfigurator, so that grub got installed (and I don't have to go fix it with a live CD):
echo "IDE-SCSI FIXES" echo "ln -s /dev/hda /dev/sda || shellout" ln -s /dev/hda /dev/sda || shellout echo "ln -s /dev/hda1 /dev/sda1 || shellout" ln -s /dev/hda1 /dev/sda1 || shellout echo "mount /dev /a/dev -o bind || shellout" mount /dev /a/dev -o bind || shellout echo "echo '(hd0) /dev/sda' > /a/boot/grub/device.map || shellout" echo '(hd0) /dev/sda' > /a/boot/grub/device.map || shellout Now, hardy should be an upgrade from feisty, so I have this version: ii systemconfigur 2.2.2-2 Unified Configuration API for Linux Installa But here I get system configurator bombing out with: You shouldn't call /sbin/grub-install... df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted file systems df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted file systems Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. Probing devices to guess BIOS dirves. This may take a long time. Busybox v1.1.1... Is there no quick fix in the master script for this? Any ideas why it started failing? I do recall something -- when parted first reads the partition table on hardy golden client, there is an error, something like perl: wrong hash, but I would have to go redo that now to check (and I didn't think it was related, I got all the way through the partitioning and rsync). regards, Jan -- .~.
