Hi all, Per the documentation in doc/menu-item-numbers.txt, I'm writing to ask for advice on where to put an "aboot-installer-findfs" item in the d-i menu. The bootloader for alphas, aboot, requires the kernel images and the aboot.conf config file to be stored on an ext2 partition. (Even ext3 doesn't work.) With the current installer, it's now very easy to install a complete system without any ext2 partitions at all, and I think the user should be notified of this problem right after partitioning -- *not* after installing the base system. Is creating a separate module that runs after partconf the right way to handle this? If so, what number should it get in the menu? Also, how would this module trigger backing up in the menu, to require the user to reformat/repartition? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
