Description Erwin van Beinum 2005-12-11 23:37:15 UTC

I've found a tiny bug in the linux installation script.

It is related to this error I get when compiling the linux kernel:
"Argument "-" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/Bootloader/Tools.pm line 208, <MD> line 31."

which is caused by the fact that my raid5 array is currently working without any redundancy (so I'm sloppy with my disks).

in file /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/Bootloader/Tools.pm at line 208 it assumes the output from mdadm countains numeric content in the collumn RaidDevice, however if a device has an error, mdadm showes a minus sign '-' instead.
For the sake of clean coding this should (and could) be tested.
I don't trust my own perl skills enough to do this properly, otherwise I would suggest a fix.

Not a kernel bug. Reassigning to perl-Bootloader maintainer.

Fixed for 10.1.
