Stardust Install Logic Problem
Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2004 2:08 am
I came accross this problem when i was attempting to do a native install and i also wanted to flash my bios Cromwell bios..
During the Process the Initial Install went fine except for when it came to flashing my bios.. Raincoat couldn't flash my bios (because wasn't updated with definition for my bios).. so it error'ed out.. This wasn't a problem as i know how to flash it manually.. But when i rebooted i looked and noticed it was running off a virtual reiserfs partition on my E drive.. After that i dug into the installer code and it looks like you create the virtual system.. unrar everything to that and then try to flash the bios and then mount the native F drive and copy everything over.. I was just suggesting that shouldn't you flash the bios after the copying from the loopback filesystem to native F so that this problem don't prevent it? thanks..
