Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 39246
Bad configuration file on CD
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:38:00 EDT
Description of Problem: /etc/aboot.cfg on a distribution CD-ROM is as follows: # # Red Hat Linux/Alpha aboot configuration # # Options: # # 0 - boot into the Red Hat Linux installer # 1 - boot into the Red Hat Linux installer using a 2.4 kernel # 2 - boot into the Red Hat Linux installer using a Jensen kernel # 0:/kernels/vmlinux.gz initrd=/images/ramdisk.img 1:/kernels/vmlinuz.24 initrd=/images/ramdisk.img 2:/kernels/vmlinuz.j initrd=/images/ramdisk.img This does not corresponds to reality as the only kernel available at this moment is /kernels/vmlinux.gz and this _is_ 2.4 kernel. Also this config file should have predefined commands for an installation in a text mode. (It is quite likely that this should be filed for another package but is not really clear for which one).
Known issue. There is debate going on about what can and connot be supported eg can we squeeze a jensen kernel on the CD along withthe supporting libraries, what evXX series do we support etc.. kinda in the air atm The build package is actually anaconda that needs tweeking Phil =--=
let's reopen this issue until a final decision is reached ... :)
Decision made,..
