Reason to put al partitioning in here was that I wanted to have only one place to auto-findout what kind of server I am dealing with.<br><br>I think I will continue on the way I started, just because I already did this much work, and there is more fun in fixing it exactly the way I want. But it's good to know there is a good way out by re-enabling setup-storage.<br><span><br>So, where can I find more info on how to tell grub how to behave? or should I just start the partition slightly later (how much?)<br><br>kind regards and thanks for your answer!<br><br>Alex<br><span name="x"></span><br>Met vriendelijke groet,<br>Alexander Swen<span name="x"></span><br></span><br><hr id="zwchr"><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hi,<br><br>[...]<br>> also tried to put it in /dev/ccisss/c0d0 but that fails with "Your embedding area is unusually smal./ core.img won't fit on it... <br>> <br>[...]<br><br>I think the device name should be ok, but apparently your partition layout is<br>not. I haven't looked at your script, but probably you are starting the first<br>partition right at first few bytes instead of leaving sufficient space for an<br>MBR+GRUB to fit in, or even an extra partition if you use a GPT disk label.<br><br>Best,<br>Michael<br><br>PS.: Arguably setup-storage isn't perfect, but at least it knows about all those<br>issues.
