snapshot: centos65 template need full pathnames for grub #8

Open mathiasp opened 10 years ago

Using this:

linux (hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root initrd (hd0,msdos1)/initramfs-2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64.img boot

works. The snapshot conf is missing the (hd0,msdos1) part...

Noted. Thanks and I have only this week been able to hack on vmrc. While this is not in, I have preliminary PC-BSD, TrueOS, CoreOS and BitRig configs in the tarball at bhyve.org/vmrc .

(Catching up on your other posts)

Thank you for your interest and patience!

Take your time. I'm grateful for vmrc and hope it will be a useful, timesaving bit of infrastructure :)

Spending my time learning Saltstack and setting up a new server and configuring saltstack to bring it up in one go, creating 6 jails in the process, so I've enough on my hands. Adding bhyve with centos/zimbra would be great, though :)

re OS choice: I'm seeing bhyve mostly in the server space, so centos, ubuntu lts and opensuse server look interesting to me. CoreOS might become so, we'll see. Windows might be nice sometimes...

I'm not very knowledgeable about Linux, trying centos because zimbra is packaged for it and says it's rock solid... Will use FreeBSD 9-something (before pkgng) if this does not work out, but that's a port by a single person, so I would really love to switch

What are your grub settings for ISO boot? Note the v0.7 snapshot.

Still the case?
