Olaf, could look at the bug report? this is an autobuild bug. we need: /ppc/bootinfo.txt /suseboot/ /ISERIES64 /boot/ppc/zImage.prep.initrd all that must go to the boot.iso, noone needs a boot.ppc.iso. A root image also seems to be missing for PPC (like /boot/i386/root, or /boot/x86_64/root), as well as rescue. no, "root" is not supposed to be on the mini-iso, it's only meant for network installation. do you have a test.iso already? just to verify it. (In reply to comment #4) > no, "root" is not supposed to be on the mini-iso, it's only meant > for network installation. Then probably I should open a seperate bugreport, that 'root' for PPC network installation is missing from Factory. ok, should have caught the real problem. the files were not just missing from the mini-iso, they were missing from the factory tree completely there are still 2 isos. one boot.iso for everyone please. sure, if m_cd is able to to that ... and some archs will probably not be able to merge in since they use the same boot-format but other binary formats ... thinking about this again: no, a common iso is probably a bad idea. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 77414400 Jan 12 10:25 boot.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 95148032 Jan 12 10:25 boot.ppc.iso a merged iso would have about 170M, which is very far from what I would call a mini-iso ... the mini-isos had no rescue file (hopefully). But users of that one have to download lots of GB anyway. the mini-ISOs do have a rescue file, otherwise these CDs have no further use after the initial installation. we could think about a combined boot-iso without rescue system, but first m_cd will need extensions for a i386/x86_64/ppc hybrid bootimage. reassigning to m_cd author Status? nothing new Still an issue? Please retest on openSUSE 11.0 and reopen a new bug. Closing NOREPSONSE for now. |
