If the prompt.cfg could be split in to using an include so that the
menu and timeout and prompt lines were seperate from the display and
f1,f2,f3 lines then I think I have a cunning plan...
I will e-mail/bug report again if I get a working system.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Feel free to change the exit code 4 to someother non-zero value if you will!
I'm afraid this code is as yet untested.

Note: netcfg seems to write out /etc/dhclient.conf just before calling dhclient.
/etc/dhclient.conf in the initrd is edited as it is copied to the
installed /target system. This editing would need to be updated if the
code that writes /etc/dhclient.conf is changed.

But this was a bug to fix woody so the reasons to remove insmod from

Perhaps the rescue mode could have "rescue.d" dir somewhere which lvmcfg
and mdcfg could drop scripts into. These scripts could detect and init
and software raid and LVM stuff... probably easiest to maintain such code
with the rest of the lvm/md code ?

Here is a patch to pass on the code I've been working on for this problem.
Part is for lvmcfg and most for partman-lvm.
I have no local udeb repositary so I have not tested this by building the
udebs. I have however patched the ramdisk in memory then run partman from
the "expert" menu... this see
If people agree that a commit.d script in partman-lvm to prepare an
optional temp file for lvmcfg then this bug can be cloned and the clone
assigned to partman-lvm to track that part and the orriginal can remain in
lvmcfg to track that part.
Good night!

This solves "half the battle" of LVM on Software RAID
bug #245704 tracks the other "half" of the problem(making lvmcfg read
the lvm "mar
nf/find-partitions at all, but some other
mechanism (look at partman files)."
I think the easiest way to safely interogate the partman files is from
within the partman framework hence the proposal of a commit.d script and a
temporary file to pass the needed info to lvmcfg.

Seems OK to me apart from f3.txt.with26: see a
0.51 added serial console
support" However this is not the case in my experiance!

ority defaulting to
the current behaviour would do the trick plus some logic to get the
answers from the DHCP response for the static config.
This would be a great feature!

Hello again...
I have found the d-i svn repository and attached is my attampt at patching
in the ideas I posted a few days ago.
I have changed the syslinux files in d-i/trunk/installer/build/boot/x86/
but I'm assuming these are only relevant to targets in
d-i/trunk/installer/buildconfig/x86.cfg
he concept should be
clear enough. Users of the VGA console should not notice any diference
while users of serial consoles should get the correct information!
Thanks for all your efforts... d-i is great!
