Re: FAI 3.2.12: new problem with setup-storage
Michael Tautschnig a écrit : Thanks for the detailed report, this is now known as bug #502462 and fixed in the experimental packages which are now available using deb http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download experimental koeln in your sources.list (you need to tweak /etc/fai/apt/sources.list as well). This is in fact the first time that the experimental builds are available in a proper apt repository, so consider this as a very first announcement :-) The experimental repository et FAI version both work fine, I have checked that both problems I've had are now fixed. The only thing I've seen that could work better is management of errors in the disk config file: with the following files, setup-storage seems to crash, and even suggests to report the bug, whereas it could just say that the file is lousy. File 1: forget the line for the preserved primary partition disk_config sda preserve_always:1 bootable:2 primary/boot 512ext3rw logical- 37000--- disk_config lvm vg vg0 sda5 vg0-swapswap2048swapsw [...] File 2: define a primary partition and use a logical one disk_config sda preserve_always:1 bootable:2 primary - 0- - primary/boot 512ext3rw primary- 37000--- disk_config lvm vg vg0 sda5 vg0-swapswap2048swapsw [...] Thanks for setup-storage, and all these quick fixes, it's a very nice tool! -- Nicolas

Dear Yes i umount properly the device About details of none want to boot: Computers claims that there is no system and didn't loading datas on USB even usb device is detected on bios.
