Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] VL6.0-SOHO-A1.38

Hello,

Just some installer notes. I will file these as bugs later:

1.38 (non-txz), r869:
-reiser4 is available in gparted but fails to work
-at cd switching time:
        -Step9.install_kernels.117: Installing /mnt/source/isolinux/kernel/sata as /mnt/target/vmlinuz-2.6.27.34
        -The actual location is /mnt/target/boot/
        
Bootloader:
-'next' button issue persists (either going back to bootloader page or on fail_but_remain_at_page)
-both bootloader config files point to the actual full kernel name rather than the symlink 'vmlinuz' - just an observation

Lilo:
-'initrd =' and 'read-only' are missing from safe mode option
-timeout has no effect
-any label that is 15 characters and ends with '-cli' cause a lilo failure. Is there a way to make 15 character labels ending in '-cli' unusable?
-points to 

Grub:
-nowhere in grub.cnf do I see where the resolution is set. I see where the background is chosen based on the user's resolution choice, but no where is the actual framebuffer resolution set. Seems like I recall this being explicitly set in previous testing.
-the background image always stays with the silent-800x600.jpg; is that supposed to be that way?
-recovery mode does an 'insmod ext2'; is that supposed to be there?

Cheers, newt
