to make "ppc" firmware happy:
/ISERIES64
/ppc/bootinfo.txt
/suseboot/*
/boot/zImage.initrd.prep (for mkisofs)
so it should be
/boot/$arch/{root,rescue,inst-sys,$stuff}
not all mkisofs calls support symlinks...
There are still the other archs. While ia64 looks unproblematic, s390* might require some work. BTW, will there be a /boot/ppc64/, then? no ppc64, like there is not boot/i{4,5,6}86
Uli just booted the s390 off CD this week.
I am in favour of this proposal, on one condition: Document it properly in the opensuse.org wiki ;-) Not only that, but our docu people might want to know about this, too. :-) Go ahead with this. Why do we still use boot/root.ppc instead of boot/ppc/root on SLES10 preview1? Ah, yes. Sorry. Please make the necessary adjustments for your arch and pass the bug on, then. I'll adjust the inst-sys when you're ready. I have made one chance for some bootfiles. http://svn.suse.de/viewcvs/installation-images?rev=1614&view=rev The spec file needs some changing. data/initrd/initrd_base.file_list needs the change for linuxrc.config. You might want to have a look at our m_cd script. its likely ok now. |
