Package: systemimager-server Version: 3.6.3dfsg1-1 Severity: serious si_getimage does not download /dev (or rather, it should download /dev/.static/dev) when the client is running udev.
When an install is attempted on such an image, the bootloader can't install because of course there are no entries in /dev in the chroot in the target. As a workaround, I have added /dev to the overrides tree for my image. However, systemimager really should be smart enough to download /dev/.static/dev and store it as /dev for machines running udev. Otherwise you wind up with unbootable images. Note that udev is default for etch. That is why I am setting this bug report RC, but feel free to differ. As it is, this will not generate working images for etch systems. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-xen-amd64 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages systemimager-server depends on: ii binutils 2.17-2 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dosfstools 2.11-2.1 Utilities to create and check MS-D ii libappconfig-perl 1.56-2 Perl module for configuration file ii libxml-parser-perl 2.34-4.2 Perl module for parsing XML files ii libxml-simple-perl 2.14-4 Perl module for reading and writin ii mkisofs 5:1.0~pre4-1.1 Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem ii mtools 3.9.10.ds1-3 Tools for manipulating MSDOS files ii perl 5.8.8-6.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii rsync 2.6.8-2 fast remote file copy program (lik ii systemconfigurator 2.0.10-1 Unified Configuration API for Linu ii systemimager-boot-i386-st 3.6.3dfsg1-1 SystemImager boot binaries for i38 ii systemimager-common 3.6.3dfsg1-1 Utilities and libraries common to Versions of packages systemimager-server recommends: pn dhcp3-server | dhcp <none> (no description available) ii syslinux 3.31-1 Bootloader for Linux/i386 using MS -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
