[02:42] <lexual> cjwatson: I'd like to try an install with mirror preseeding, would it just be mirror/http/hostname, and mirror/http/directory I would need to set?
[02:45] <cjwatson> you can give it a try - stick those on the kernel command line as usual
[02:45] <cjwatson> that should be right
[02:46] <cjwatson> possibly apt-setup/security_host too for security.ubuntu.com

[11:04] <rabid_fish> question on avoiding usb-storage during installation ...
[11:07] <rabid_fish> so, given that some of you likely aren't directly available but may read this later, I'll give all my details
[11:07] <rabid_fish> I've got a thinkpad x21 plugged into a dock.  Need the dock so I can use the CD drive.  Problem is the dock 'creates' a usb problem.
[11:10] <rabid_fish> Scenario #1: have a harddrive with edgy installed on it from another computer, place drive in my x21.  Get error message 'Maybe usb cable is bad' but otherwise boots and runs
[11:11] <rabid_fish> Scenario #2: put an Edgy livecd in and boot.  Boots up, and runs the installation until it reaches the usb-storage module.  Then hangs.  On reboot, I no longer have a usable system.
[11:12] <rabid_fish> Scenario #3: put a Feisty alternate cd in and boot, with no boot parameters.  Get the 'maybe usb cable is bad' message again, hangs at 'starting log daemon'
[11:13] <rabid_fish> Scenario #4: using the Feisty alternate cd, and boot parameter of debian-installer/probe/usb=false allows me to at least reach the text installer, but about four steps in it dies again at the usb-storage bit
[11:15] <rabid_fish> so question: is there a way to blacklist the usb-storage module?  Can I alt+f2, and perhaps alter modprobe.conf in some way such that usb-storage won't be installed during the normal installation process?
[11:21] <stgraber> rabid_fish: on the alternate you can still : rm the usb-storage.ko file from /lib/modules/2.6.*/
[11:21] <stgraber> rabid_fish: then : depmod -a
[11:22] <stgraber> rabid_fish: but I think there is a more proper way to do so :)
[11:25] <rabid_fish> gimme a min to try that
[11:26] <stgraber> it's in : /lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko
[11:26] <stgraber> here
[11:28] <rabid_fish> so far, am getting farther!
[11:33] <rabid_fish> it's finishing up partitioning then will be on installing packages, have my fingers crossed
