[Bug 119193] Errors when installing lilo with autoyast on 10.0RC1
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=119193 ------- Comment #18 from steiner-reg@bio.ifi.lmu.de 2006-09-12 05:05 MST ------- After the problem kept me from installing 10.1 on some hosts, I wrote a fix for preventing the faulty "default" line. The patch works on BootLILO.ycp and is activated when we are in autoinst mode. It checks if the value (right-hand side) for the default parameter is empty and, if so, adds the name of the first section as value, so that the first sections becomes the default section. Uwe asked me to add the patch here, however, please note that it does not by any means fix the real problem: - Whenever some global option is set in the profile, the value for the default-options is empty - definfing a value for default, i.e. sth. like "default=myLinuxKernel" does not work, and will still not work with my patch - other global options, e.g. the disk option or vga etc. are not inserted to lilo.conf at all. I wonder why nothing was done to fix this problem after I reported it for 10.0RC1. Now we have 10.1 and it still does not work. And this bug is a *stopper* for certain systems: If you need to set global options like the disk option to boot from a scsi disk when having an IDE and a SCSI disk, it is just not possible to autoinstall such a system (especially because there seems to be another bug that prevents chroot scripts after installing lilo). I've reported that bug one year ago, and seeing that nothing was done to fix is, is very very sad. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
