Hi, please use the mailing list from unattended-gui for problems related on this project.
The edd module is obsolete and will be removed from the kernel in the near future. The unattended-gui.sourceforge.net with the profile unattended-gui is designed to dont use this stuff. Here the info from the module: ---SNIP---- Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs. This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do not yet implement this feature. ---SNAP---- You can do the check the following: is the edd module loaded: # lsmod If the edd module is loaded and the file /sys/firmware/edd/init13_dev80 doesnt exist the find-boot-device will fail. This can be if the bios boots from non-local device. I have update the 2 profiles in svn that they have a fallback function. Please report if this is working for you. http://unattended-gui.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/unattended-gui/z/etc/init/profiles/unattended/01install http://unattended-gui.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/unattended-gui/z/etc/init/profiles/unattended-nodosemu/01install greetings mario Am Montag, den 12.11.2007, 07:09 +1100 schrieb paul kelly: > I am using PXE boot, with the unattended-gui boot disk but am having > some problems. > > Originally - I had the normal unattended distribution mounted as my z > drive. > However on boot, I got the error "/z/bin/init.sh not found" > > So I downloaded and mounted the unattended-gui z drive instead: > /z/ > +---bin > +---etc > +---os > > etc. > > init.sh gets called ok now > The script then calls /z/etc/init/profiles/unattended > /01install > However line 23 of this script calls hda=`find-boot-device` || die > "*** find-boot-device failed" > > This is where my install stops - > The find-boot device script is looking for a file hostbus > in /sys/firmware/edd/init13_dev80 > But this doesn;t seem to exist > > I'd appreciate any help resolving this (dell D620) > > Regards > Paul > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?
