Re: [Unattended] Fibre disk - Solved

[Bryan D. <bd...@ra...>]

Sebastian and Mario, thanks for your help.

Here are the steps I took to resolve the problem:

1. Used the latest boot kernel from Unattended-gui, which contained
drivers from my hardware
2. Unarchived the uaroot boot image
   -mkdir /tmp/initrd
   -cd /tmp/initrd
   -gzip -dc /tftpboot/uaroot | cpio -id
3. To get dhcp to work:
   -added dhclient and dhclient-scripts commands to /tmp/initrd/sbin
from a redhat box
   -created the /tmp/initrd/var/lib/dhcp/ directory and dhcpd.leases
file beneath it
   -edited /tmp/initrd/etc/master to enable running of dhclient instead
of dhcpcd:
	#dhcpcd -t 20 -i $i > $LOGTTY 2>&1
	dhclient > $LOGTTY 2>&1
4. Edited /tmp/initrd/usr/bin/find-boot-device to include FIBRE disk
interfaces as seen in post
http://www.mail-archive.com/una...@li.../msg04222.html
5. Re-archived the image
   -cd /tmp/initrd
   -find . | cpio -H newc -o > /tftpboot/uaroot

I am now presented with the unattended partitioning scheme prompt when I
boot.

Hardware: IBM LS20 Blade (unattended server and client nodes) with
qlogic fibre interface card to disk array
