Dear GRML team,

the offered possibility to store changed files in /etc by the save-config script does not work at our machines (FUJITSU PRIMERGY RX300) if they use grml64-full_2012.05 --- the KNECHTROOTRECHT release worked fine at the same machines.

I could bring it to work at my machines by changing the test required for setting the NEWLAYOUT variable, so that it checks now the existence of /live/cow instead of /live/image (our /live directory contains image,overlay and rofs subdirs only):

-----------------------------------------------------------------
# old linuxrc version:
  [ -d /cdrom ]      && OLDLAYOUT=1 || OLDLAYOUT=''
  # new initramfs layout:
  #[ -d /live/image ] && NEWLAYOUT=1 || NEWLAYOUT=''
  [ -d /live/cow ] && NEWLAYOUT=1 || NEWLAYOUT=''
...
save_etc(){
  debug "save etc"
  if [ -n "$NEWLAYOUT" ] ; then
     $runas find /live/cow/etc -type f -o -type l | sed -e 's#/live/cow## ; /etc$/d' >> $FILELIST
  else
     $runas findchanged /etc /GRML/etc >> $FILELIST
  fi
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------


We use following kernel boot options: apm=power-off vga=791 nomce quiet lang=de tz=Europe/Berlin keyboard=de npgpm noquick nodhcp noeject noprompt nolvm
I attached a zipped syslog of our boot process, if thats point of interest for something.


... and many thanks for this project !
