Re: [Testbed-admins] Booting error in Customizing the Generic Image

Hi Ryan,

When I attempt to change the conflicted table name to
"temp_os_info_linux" in your "create_linux_mfs_descriptors", there is
another error shows one field does not exist. Can I modify your Perl
code to delete this field? Because I checked my "os_info" table and
there is no 'def_parentosid'.

boss# ./create_linux_mfs_descriptors 
DB Query failed:
  Query: insert into temp_os_info_linux set
mfs='1',creator='elabman',max_concurrent=NULL,osid='1767',reboot_waittim
e='120',mustclean='1',shared='0',pid='emulab-ops',def_parentosid=NULL,ez
id='0',osname='ADMIN-LINUX',old_osid='',OS='Linux',magic='',old_nextosid

Hi Ryan,

Can I change the table "temp_os_info" in your
"create_linux_mfs_descriptors" to any other name? Because I found the
Perl execution error as follows:

boss# ./create_linux_mfs_descriptors 
DB Query failed:
  Query: create table temp_os_info like os_info
  Error: Table 'temp_os_info' already exists (1050)

There is a tarball with all of the Linux boot stuff at
http://www.emulab.net/downloads/linux_boot.tar.gz

In that tarball is a file called `linux_boot_installation.txt' which
contains instructions for installing the new Linux/Grub stuff Mike was
talking about.  Let me know if you have any questions or problems and
I'll help you figure them out.
