Hello
I've got three questions
1. If I create a own filesystem for /boot It's always ext2 even if got
ext3 specified in the autoinst.xml
Workaround: Use tune2fs -j .... after Installation (post script)
2. Even I've got a autoinst.xml from Karl-Walter Grabbe which should
install grub instead of lilo, I still have lilo installed after the
unattendand installation. Below an extract of the bootloader section from
Karl-Walter
<bootloader>
grub
<specific>
<activate config:type="boolean">true</activate>
<addr>0x8000</addr>
<device>(null)</device>
<discswitch config:type="boolean">true</discswitch>
<menu>/boot/grub/menu.lst</menu>
<s2prefix>--stage2=/boot/grub/stage2</s2prefix>
<stage1>/boot/grub/stage1</stage1>
<stage2>/boot/grub/stage2</stage2>
false
</specific>
</bootloader>
Some people told me to use a post script again to remove lilo and install
and configure grub. But when I do this by hand I'll receive the following
error messages:
**************************
grub> root (hd0,0)
Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
grub> install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /grub/stage1 d (hd0) /grub/stage2
0xgrub> install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /
grub/stage1 d (hd0) /grub/stage2 0x8grub> install
--stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /grub/stage1 d (hd0) /grub/stage2 0x8grub>
....
Error 12: Invalid device requested
grub> quit
**************************
3. If I use LVM in my xml file the swap partition will be created but I
don't have any entry in /etc/fstab. Therefore a swap partition will never
be activated. After I put the statement in /etc/fstab, made a mkswap
/dev/systemvg/swap and swapon -a the swap partition is available.
Unfortunately only for a short period of time because after about 10
minutes I receive a
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/hda5 (deleted) partition 248968 2044 42
if I execute swapon -s. What does this "deleted" mean? Has this got a bad
impact on my installation?
Thank you very much for your help.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen, Manuel Laesser
