/boot & ext3, grub, swap
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> <loader_type>grub</loader_type> <specific> <activate config:type="boolean">true</activate> <grub_conf> <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> </grub_conf> <repl_mbr config:type="boolean">false</repl_mbr> </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.

it seems logical to me, that grub is not installed. Stefan -- Stefan Schmidt jsj-hb at t-online dot de
