Henning!

This is what I was hoping for, thank you.

I am just hunting a strange problem: The automatically installed machine is unable to boot after the install finished due to an invalid grub config.

I don't have a separate /boot partition, so /boot is in the main filesystem.

Watch my disk_config file:

disk_config disk1
primary  /             3000-5000      rw,errors=remount-ro ; -c -j ext3
logical  swap          1000-2000      rw
logical /preserve 5000- rw,nosuid ; -m 1 -j ext3 lazyformat
logical  /home         500-2000       rw,nosuid            ; -m 1 -j ext3

So the kernel will end up in /boot/vmlinuz-xxx I would assume that the grub config should contain

root (hd0,0)

which is what the automated install writes to the config.

But it needs

root (hd0,1)

in order to work; for no apparent reason.

Interesting enough, this had worked before on the very same box, so I must have changed someting ...

(Scratching my head.)

Regards,
Torsten

Hi!

Just a quick check:

Does a higher priority class' file in disk_config *replace* a lower priority one or is there some kind of interitance, so the two will get blended?


no, as there is no safe way any automatic tool could decide how the files
should be merged. think of partition number limits, ordering of partitions
etc.

in the case of disk_config, it is always the class with the highest priority
which defines the partitioning.
