| jerom1 | cjwatson: what exactly is your USB detection problem? do you have some log entries? | 12:17 |
|---|---|---|
| jerom1 | i view : | 12:17 |
| cjwatson | (that was a quote from me, not a question to me) | 12:17 |
| jerom1 | kernel : hub 5-2:1.0 : USB hub found | 12:20 |
| jerom1 | 7 ports detected | 12:20 |
| jerom1 | USB disconnect, address 10 | 12:20 |
| jerom1 | new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 12 | 12:20 |
| jerom1 | input : HP Virtual Keyboard as /class/input/input1522 | 12:20 |
| jerom1 | input : HP Virtual Keyboard as /class/input/input/1523 | 12:20 |
| jerom1 | input : USB HID v1.0.1 Mouse [HP Virtual Keyboard] on usb-0000:01:04.4.1 | 12:20 |
| jerom1 | USB disconnect, address 11 | 12:20 |
| jerom1 | and loop ... | 12:20 |
| cjwatson | is it possible to connect a non-USB keyboard for the purpose of doing the installation? | 12:21 |
| jerom1 | loop with another address number | 12:21 |
| cjwatson | however, the USB loop is a kernel problem; I suggest bringing it up on #ubuntu-kernel | 12:21 |
| jerom1 | yes i use standard keyboard | 12:21 |
| jerom1 | i have zero usb devices | 12:21 |
| cjwatson | jerom1: for dapper netboot, make sure you're using images from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ | 12:22 |
| cjwatson | those are built with a more recent kernel than /dists/dapper/... (IIRC) | 12:22 |
| jerom1 | yes i downloaded this archive at 20 minutes | 12:22 |
| cjwatson | how long ago you downloaded it doesn't matter; I'm simply checking that you used dapper-updates rather than dapper | 12:23 |
| cjwatson | (well, doesn't matter much. It was last updated several months ago) | 12:23 |
| jerom1 | I downloaded this archive : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz | 12:24 |
| cjwatson | ok | 12:24 |
| jerom1 | i must be answer my question on channel #ubuntu-kernel ? | 12:25 |
| cjwatson | I believe s | 12:26 |
| cjwatson | so | 12:26 |
| cjwatson | perhaps they can offer a workaround such as a magic kernel parameter | 12:26 |
| jerom1 | yes thanks Colin | 12:26 |
| cjwatson | good luck | 12:26 |
| jerom1 | thanks | 12:26 |

| jerom1 | i modify dapper install in order to use 2.6.17 kernel, it's works for USB | 03:11 |
| jerom1 | but i have a same problem with disk detection | 03:12 |
| jerom1 | i see in /var/log/syslog partman : No volume groups found | 03:12 |
| jerom1 | i have a device : /dev/cciss/c0d0 | 03:12 |
| jerom1 | are you an idea ? | 03:13 |
| cjwatson | I'm very uncomfortable about having to support dapper with 2.6.17. If you're going to do that, support is invalidated anyway, and you might as well use edgy. | 03:15 |
| cjwatson | "partman : No volume groups found" is not a relevant error message | 03:15 |
| cjwatson | I think edgy with my list-devices patch is going to be much easier to work with | 03:15 |
| jerom1 | but edgy is not LTS, is it dangerous to use on production server ? | 03:16 |
| cjwatson | dapper+2.6.17 is not LTS either. | 03:16 |
| jerom1 | you're right | 03:17 |
| cjwatson | cr3 can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure we don't offer support on dapper+2.6.17 | 03:17 |
| cr3 | I'm trying to boot from the kernel on a CDROM but use the filesystem on /dev/sda1. So: 1. I copied /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r` install/vmlinuz; 2. mkinitramfs -o install/initrd.gz; 3. copied isolinux directory from install CD to isolinux; 4. changed isolinux.cfg to append: boot=install initrd=/install/initrd.gz root=/dev/sda0 rw --; 5. when I boot from the CD, I get this error: .: 92: Can't open /scripts/install | 03:19 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: 2.6.17? isn't that the edgy kernel? | 03:19 |
| cjwatson | cr3: yes | 03:19 |
| cjwatson | cr3: boot=install doesn't mean what you think it means. What are you trying to do there? | 03:19 |
| cjwatson | cr3: dropping boot= altogether would be better bet ... | 03:20 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: we offer support for dapper and edgy, but we don't support swaping packages between releases like that | 03:20 |
| cjwatson | s/better/a better/ | 03:20 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: I'll try that, one sec... | 03:20 |
| jerom1 | cjwatson : ok thanks, i re-test you're patch | 03:20 |
| cjwatson | jerom1: I'm not sure why dapper is failing to detect the disks, though; the full log rather than a randomly guessed line from it would help. :-) | 03:21 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: cheers, that worked! so "boot" is to specify the name of scripts to run at some point during the boot sequence? | 03:22 |
| jerom1 | cjwatson, i think disk is detected, but installer answer "disk selector : entire disk or LVM" | 03:23 |
| cjwatson | cr3: right, it's an initramfs-tools parameter | 03:23 |
| cjwatson | jerom1: please tell me these things up-front and we won't have to waste time | 03:23 |
| cjwatson | jerom1: can I see the Kickstart file (with passwords removed) again? | 03:23 |
| cr3 | cjwatson: weird name for it, but it's good to know. | 03:24 |
| jerom1 | yes it is here : http://sharengo.org/ks.cfg (contains test password) | 03:24 |
| cjwatson | jerom1: are there any devices in /dev/discs/ while the installer is running? | 03:26 |
| jerom1 | /dev/discs doesn't exist but /dev/disk contains by-uuid | 03:27 |
| cjwatson | no, not /dev/disk | 03:27 |
| cjwatson | jerom1: could you run parted_devices and tell me the output? | 03:28 |
| jerom1 | /dev/cciss/c0dO 366870733824 Compaq Smart Array | 03:28 |
| cjwatson | sure that's dO not d0? | 03:29 |
| jerom1 | replace c0dO by c0d0 | 03:29 |
| cjwatson | ok | 03:29 |
| cjwatson | jerom1: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html | 03:31 |
| jerom1 | i read this : https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/47526, may be i must be add kernel/drivers/block/cpqarray.ko in my initrd image | 03:31 |
| cjwatson | jerom1: clearpart --drives cciss/c0d0 --initlabel | 03:31 |
| === mneptok [n=mneptok@mneptok.com] has joined #ubuntu-installer | ||
| cjwatson | not /dev/cciss/c0d0 - sorry, I probably misled you earlier on that | 03:31 |
| cjwatson | jerom1: you may have to have fun with a %post script (or other tweak) to do that, but that can be done once you're past this) | 03:32 |
| jerom1 | cjwatson : oki i test now | 03:33 |
| cjwatson | maybe I should make kickseed handle the /dev/ prefix there a bit more gracefully | 03:33 |
| jerom1 | i modified my http://sharengo.org/ks.cfg : clearpart --drives cciss/c0d0 --initlabel and i restart my net install now | 03:34 |
| cjwatson | ok, kickseed in feisty will tolerate my clearpart mistake there | 03:37 |
| cjwatson | have to go out for an hour or so now | 03:37 |
| jerom1 | install run, i wait ... | 03:38 |
| mneptok | jerom1: do you have a few minutes to discuss your e-mail to canonical re: support? | 03:38 |
| jerom1 | mneptok : benois@argia-engineering.fr | 03:39 |
| mneptok | jerom1: do you prefer e-mail to IRC or phone? someone tried phoning you several times yesterday. if e-mail is better, i am happy to do that/ | 03:40 |
| jerom1 | mneptok : email is better or phone in french ? | 03:40 |
| mneptok | cr3: a tu une moment pour jerom1? | 03:41 |
| mneptok | jerom1: quand? maintentant? plutard? a demain? | 03:42 |
| jerom1 | mneptok : maintenant si possible | 03:43 |
| mneptok | d'accord, moment ... | 03:43 |
| jerom1 | mneptok : Cell Phone : +33 6 21 53 56 19 | 03:44 |
| mneptok | je parle francais comme un babare. cr3 est une choix meilleure. | 03:47 |
| mneptok | moment, je compose le bureau. | 03:47 |
| jerom1 | mneptok : oki | 03:48 |
