Ok quick caveat here, I have not spend a lot of time making sure everything
is perfectly polished
So I'm nor sure the iso build script did the right thing in regards to which
package is on which
CD. I think the original mandrake 8.0 disc 2 and 3 should work when selecting
packages from
them, but I have not tested that so I'm not sure.
If need be I can put the disc 2 and 3 iso's that I generated on the ftp site.
I'm hoping the Mandrake folks will eventually help out with cleaning up these
details,
but for the moment all I have to time to do is make sure the basic install
works.
BTW yes the mkinitrd is failing... seems it is trying to be smart and include
any
file systems that are not ext2 as a module.
Since xfs is compiled into the kernel mkinitrd can not find the module and
exits.
The Q&D fix is to go in and comment out the exit at line 100 in mkinitrd and
rerun the cmd by hand.
