Hi! Dne pátek 25 únor 2005 16:08 Oliver Schwabedissen napsal(a):
we are installing SLES8 with SP3 through HTTP. Although we specified grub as the boot loader we still get lilo installed by default and have to replace it with grub in our post install script.
<bootloader> <location>mbr</location> <loader_type>grub</loader_type> <loader_device>/dev/cciss/c0d0</loader_device> <kernel_parameters>acpi=off 3</kernel_parameters> <initrd_modules config:type="list"> <module></module> </initrd_modules> </bootloader>
Hardware are HP server with /, /boot and /var mounted on normal partitions (HW RAID 1) and /home, /tmp and /usr mounted to LVM volumes (same RAID 1). All file systems are XFS.
Kernel and initrd in tftp directory are from SP3, we have the driverupdate file from SP3 CD1 linked to our SLES8 installation root (/autoyast/SLES8), in yast/order the paths to SP3 CD1 and CD2 are listed as the first entries.
IIRC in SLES8 the decission which bootloader will be instlaled isn't based on any setting inside the bootloader module (it is even impossible to set it in YaST), but it depends on the packages you have selected. Try "tabooing" LILO and selecting GRUB in the package selection, it should help. -- Regards, Jiri Srain YaST2 developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: jsrain@suse.cz Drahobejlova 27 tel: +420 2 9654 2373 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 2 9654 2374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz
