[Devil-Linux-discuss] VMware boot issues

[Marc <1m...@gm...>]

Hi,

I recently posted a message regarding running devil-linux under VMware ESX.
The problem I had was that my hard disk was not recognised. After loading
the BusLogic module, devil-linux did recognize the hard disk. So that is
good!

Now, I am faced with the following, how do I get devil-linux to recognize
the hard disk on boot time and therefore load the etc.tar.bz2 file off it? I
updated the /etc/sysconfig/config file to include the BusLogic driver in the
INITRD_MODULES variable and subsequently created a new .iso image with the
"custom-cd" command.

When I boot from my custom cd, I am still prompted if I want to continue to
load DL without any configuration media. I notice that after I press "y" and
<enter> only at that stage the BusLogic module gets loaded. So it makes
sense that the etc.tar.bz2 file could not (yet) be found.

What am I doing wrong?
