I believe there is several things at play here. I think I remember the MSI error from a while ago when I was using PXE-boot on a VIA ITX board. That was a bug in the PXE code on the chip. You can test that by booting from CD using the same build. The "libparted-1.6.so.12 not found": Parted 1.8.8 is in CVS now, and also in rc1. That said: I just stumbled into it on a Thinkpad T61. We have reinstalled a big heap of T61's with a unattended close to 4.7 patched with nt5x-install + ntldr-fix. Now I changed to 4.8rc1 and the first T61 is not able to boot windows. Just a black screen with the cursor blinking in upper left corner. (A HP desktop installed just fine) Ok, revert to the old tested 4.7-like patched unattended and its not able to pick up the dhcp boot options and it spits out "libparted-1.6.so.12 not found" !!! This make me believe that it is somehow network related.. lspci -nn says it is a "8086:2829 (rev 3)". Intel 1G NIC What does "lspci -nn" reveal about the Dell 755 network interface? > > Could some one tell me what are the good options (or the good version of > packages) > to compile CVS or unattended-4.8 I wish I had a good answer.. I have found that using a glibc version close to the building host works. It does not quite add up, as for Debian Lenny i have to use 2.6.1. Lenny has glibc 2.7.x I believe this is because glibc is patched by the distributions in varying forward and backwards ways.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
