Ok, I got my rh90 server setup with unattended (OpenRIS) v4.0. I booted the bzImage
kernel via PXE, no problems here.
The install.pl script starts and I told it that I want to use whole drive c:, to
format the drive and overwrite the mbr.
I did not see anything to suggest that the hard drive was actually formatted.
Anyway, the script continues on and finds my XP source files. On the final stage,
where it should start installation via the doit.bat script, Linux triggers a SIGHUP
error then reboots the computer. I get a "no active partition found" error when it
tries to boot from the local hard drive on the subsequent bootup.
My client computer is an older Compaq DeskPro SF with a 6GB IDE drive.
What am I missing?
Thx.
TJ
