This one isn't really the installer's fault. We're working on a fix, which we'll put out as 2008.0-r1 for the x86 and amd64 LiveCDs. Andrew, Seeing as how we're likely to get dupes of this if the livecds are indeed broken, can you provide a more detailed explanation? Was grub left out? -Codeman A hack was added at the last minute in order to get the size of the LiveCD down below 700MB. We empty out /boot in the squashfs and then at boot time, we mount a tmpfs and copy back in the kernel/initramfs from the ISO root. This procedure was mostly untested and apparently a bit buggy. Would it be possible to boot from a livecd, then manually copy the kernel over to the partition, and then reconfigure grub? Either that, or I'll just revert back to Beta 2. *** Bug 231037 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The 2008.0-r1 x86/amd64 LiveCDs have been released and will be hitting a mirror near you soon. *** Bug 231080 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 231121 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 235640 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 236830 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 262815 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
