Hi Thomas, > The problem is now fixed. Since the class/*.sources scripts are > executed in a subshell, you have to use $LOGDIR/additional.var for > defining (or redefining) variables. Unfortunately this does not fix the issue completely for me. Digging a bit deeper revealed that /proc/partitions does list my USB disk ("sda") but [1] removes it since it has group "floppy". I made sure I have "USB Mass storage emulation type" set to "Hard disk" in the BIOS configuration, though. I'm not sure how the kernel determines if a device is "disk" or "floppy"...
Modifying line [1] to accept both "disk" and "floppy" works. Yes, it's ugly but I'm not expecting to install any machines that have real floppy drives so I guess I should be safe.
