Etch and preseeding LVM custom lv and vg names

2008-07-11 Thread Ryan Braun [ADS]
I'm remastering an etch install cd to use and was having trouble figuring out how to define the volume group and logical volume names during preseeding. I would prefer the vg0-lv0 type naming rather then the auto hostname-partition format. On searching the mailing list archives, I found http

I'm having trouble getting my preseeded partman recipe working properly. I always get the no root partition defined error. Here is the partman recipe I'm using boot-root :: 100 300 200 ext3 $primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /bo

I have a dialog driven configuration script I want to use to configure several aspects of the install. The preseed works for the majority of the install, all the apps get installed, then it doesn't seem to want to run the dialog script. I'm not sure if there is an issue with scripts that requ

cat'ing remastered iso's direct to usb?

2012-03-07 Thread Ryan Braun [ADS]
Hey guys, love that squeeze can be cat'd direct to the usb device for usb installs. I've remastered a squeeze kde install image, it burns and installs fine from dvd (theres more then just squeeze on it), but when I try to cat it to the usb drive, it won't boot like a stock squeeze iso. So

preseed doesn't overwrite existing lvm partitioning

I could have sworn I had tested this previously, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I have a preseed configured and it will install on virgin hardware without problem. But if I run the same install procedure for a second time on the same machine, I keep getting no root partition error

I'm trying to setup and run the scripted partitioning udeb I found on the list a while back (http://hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/scripted-partitioning/). I've got the vast majority of it all working, just for some reason whatever pattern I preseed, debconf always reports the pattern as NULL. Which th

Looking over the preseed docs for setting up software raid, it looks like you need to create a separate raid device for each partition? I'm a software raid newb, and I've only set it up a couple times going through d-i manually. What I'm looking to do is create one raid device containing all
