[Thincrust-devel] bug in appliance-creator

[Marek Goldmann]

Hi,

I found a bug in appliance-creator, exactly in appcreate/appliance.py, line 234:

230         for v in versions:
231             grub += "title %s (%s)\n" % (self.name, v)
232             grub += "        root (hd0,%d)\n" % bootdevnum
233             grub += "        kernel %s/vmlinuz-%s ro root=%s %s\n" % (prefix, v, rootdev, options)
234             grub += "        initrd %s/initrd-%s.img\n" % (prefix, v)
235 
236         logging.debug("Writing grub config %s/boot/grub/grub.conf" % self._instroot)
237         cfg = open(self._instroot + "/boot/grub/grub.conf", "w")
238         cfg.write(grub)
239         cfg.close()

Fedora 12 is using dracut to generate initrd files and initrd is a wrong name for those files from now. The new name is initramfs, so line 234 should look like:

234             grub += "        initrd %s/initramfs-%s.img\n" % (prefix, v)

Bleh, I searched this for two days – there was no error, only blank screen and freeze.
