| secureboot_ | anyone know how to preseed with the first hard disk available? | 07:30 |
| secureboot_ | i mean, make partman use the first hard disk available | 07:30 |
| secureboot_ | the examples that do that are from dapper, and don't work | 07:30 |
| secureboot_ | d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda will work if i have an sda disk, hda works for hda, but i want something that works for both | 07:35 |
| secureboot_ | any ideas? | 07:35 |

| secureboot_ | i've begun to think there's a bug in partman for PATA disks | 07:55 |
| secureboot_ | the same recipes that work for hdas, don't work for sdas when you have PATA disks | 07:56 |
| secureboot_ | I get "no root filesystem" when I try the same recipes | 07:56 |
| secureboot_ | whereas they work fine on hdas (QEMU, for instance) | 07:56 |
| cjwatson | first hard disk available> not possible in edgy; use dapper or feisty | 08:03 |
| cjwatson | well, only possible with grungy scripting | 08:03 |
| cjwatson | or you could use Kickstart, which should be fine in edgy. See the documentation for clearpart | 08:03 |
| cjwatson | if you're getting "no root file system" then your recipe is buggy in some subtle way; I'm pretty confident that partman couldn't care less whether it's hda or sda (and much less whether it's PATA) at that level | 08:04 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: hmm - i use exactly the same recipe | 08:11 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: you were mentioning something 2 days ago about this maybe being related to an error someone found | 08:12 |
| cjwatson | you were talking about "can't have a partition outside of the disk" which is surely different? | 08:18 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: yes, that's true | 08:18 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: you also said that recipe looked correct, however | 08:19 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: i was wondering if there was just a whole class of problems on PATA disks | 08:19 |

| secureboot_ | http://pastebin.ca/378772 is what i'm using now | 08:22 |
| cjwatson | providing the disk is big enough, of course | 08:25 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: it is | 08:25 |
| cjwatson | did I already ask you for a DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 log? it would probably also help to add 'set -x' to /bin/autopartition and /bin/perform_recipe | 08:26 |
| cjwatson | takes quite a while to debug this sort of thing unfortunately | 08:26 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: huh - i'll try to do that - how do i add to /bin/autopartition? where is that /bin? | 08:27 |
| cjwatson | you have to edit it from tty2 with nano | 08:27 |
| cjwatson | I would suggest leaving the hostname unpreseeded, and then you'll be able to edit it while the installer is waiting for the answer to that question | 08:28 |
| cjwatson | then extract /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman | 08:28 |
| cjwatson | (after the failure, obviously) | 08:28 |
| secureboot_ | cjwatson: oh - neat. I'll try to do that then | 08:29 |
| cjwatson | fairly standard approach to this sort of probblem | 08:31 |
| cjwatson | it's quite data-intensive and you need the code as a reference to work out what it means | 08:31 |
| cjwatson | it's definitely useful to add DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 to the kernel boot parameters so that you get a debconf protocol trace in there too | 08:31 |
