And perhaps a specific note on the current status in SI and SALI of grub2, ext4, and systemconfigurator? Regards, Jan Until the devs have time to weight in, I'll give you the perspective of someone using them on a daily basis: SALI is a drop-in replacement for the default systemimager boot image (kernel and initrd). It has fairly good support for grub2 and ext4, and a vastly simplified command set for writing system imager install scripts. The rest of the systemimager suite you use as before. We use systemimager + SALI to image a lab of Ubuntu 11.04 machines, which works pretty much out of the box. The only caveat is that neither component has support for Debian's new disk UUIDs, so monkeying with your /etc/fstab and grub config may be required.
Tristam,Do you mean that the 'blkid` command is not supported in busybox or are you missing something else?
For our installions we use LABEL functionality, but we must also generate our /etc/fstab file. It is on out to do list to generate the fstab file.
