[Devil-Linux-discuss] Minor bug in DL 1.2.10

[Kari M. <kar...@tr...>]

Hola!

Case:

(The free) VMware Server 1.0.0, DL 1.2.10 i686/server edition ISO image,
blank FAT12 formatted floppy image, 200 MB HD (/dev/sda) on BusLogic
virtual SCSI controller for logs etc.

I created a VM and booted.  I wanted to create a multi NIC router into
my VMware environment and started fresh.

DL asked wether it should copy the default configuration to the floppy.
  I replied Yes.  It also queried wether it should scan for SCSI
devices.  I replied Yes again so that DL would find the virtual SCSI
adapter.  It did find it, as it has always done.

DL writes information on the required module into /etc/sysconfig/config
file into line INITRD_MODULES=

The bug is that the line is

INITRD_MODULES="BusLogic

and NOT

INITRD_MODULES="BusLogic"

as it should be.  The end quotes are missing.

***

As an end note on VMware Server: It recognises the VMware Tools which
are in DL 1.2.10, which is great.  It claims the Tools are old, but that
really does not matter very much.  Using too new Tools, has earlier
proven to be a bigger/real problem in VMware ESX.  vmxnet is not
available on newly created VMs, only pcnet32.  Well, you cannot get
everything for free...
