Well, if I create a /boot of 200MB and / of 1GB, /boot only uses 7% and / uses 35% of it's space. As for the logs, there are no errors when creating the partitions or mounting them. The default GRUB script seems to complete without any issues as well. The only error that is in the error.log is that it can't read /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules: No such file or directory. Which I seem to get even if the install completes successfully.<br>
<br>btw, I didn't mention that I am running Debian etch and the default FAI package that is supplied.<br><br>Thanks<br>Bjorn<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 26, 2008 at 2:06 AM, Henning Sprang <<a href="mailto:henning_sprang@gmx.de">henning_sprang@gmx.de</a>> wrote:<br>

Ok. I have sorted out the ROOTPW issue. But one thing that I still don't understand is that there appears to be a minimum of somewhere just over the 500MB mark. I created a /boot partition of 600MB and the system seems to boot just fine.<br>
Can anyone tell me if this is accurate or not? Or am I missing something somewhere? The documentation shows even / as having a partition size of 200MB, but that doesn't work. Does this lead to issues of other partitions not being able to be less than around 500MB as well?<br>

The only issure with size of / and /boot is that maybe the partition is too small to fit some stuff into it.<br>
Only, I have no idea what you could be so large in /boot.<br>
<br>
/ has to fit everything you installk into the system, so 200 wil not be enough for the most cases.<br>
<br>
Look at output of df after your install before reboot, and, most importantly - what do your logs say?<br><font color="#888888">
