cjwatsonthe code in finish-install is:00:01
cjwatson                sed -e "s/^\(exec.*getty \).*/\1-L $console 9600 linux/" \00:01
cjwatson                    -e "s/tty1/$console/g" \00:01
cjwatson                    /target/etc/event.d/tty1 > /target/etc/event.d/$console00:01
cjwatsonwhere $console is hvc000:01
cjwatson                sed -i -e "s/^\(exec.*\) -8/\1/" /target/etc/event.d/$console00:01
cjwatsonso I'd mimic that00:01
cjwatsonsecond statement is for future-proofing and probably isn't needed in 8.1000:02
dmarkeytheres a slight glitch in Detect disks00:04
dmarkeynot a show stopper though00:04
cjwatsonoh?00:04
dmarkeythe installed thinks /dev/xvda is a raid device and tries to "activate it"00:05
cjwatsoncan you file a bug please?00:05
cjwatsonraid or dmraid (aka sata raid)?00:05
dmarkeyhttp://pastebin.com/m5f90f86d00:06
dmarkeydidnt really pastebin very well, but you get the idea00:06
dmarkeyif you select yes or no, the install contindues regardless00:06
cjwatsonmay be fixed in jaunty, but please file it anyway00:07
dmarkeylol, this is hardly a supported configuration!00:07
dmarkeya bastardised initrd00:08
cjwatsonhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hw-detect/+filebug, link to or give an explanation of what you're doing, and say that I told you to file it00:08
cjwatsonsure, but I'm one of the maintainers and I hereby accept the bug anyway :P00:08
dmarkeyha, alright so00:08
* dmarkey sighs because he has to register00:09
cjwatsonyes, I'm afraid you do00:09
* cjwatson -> bed00:09
dmarkeyso do i explain that this is a bastardised xen kernel?00:10
cjwatsonnot important00:10
dmarkeyok00:10
cjwatsonjust outline that you're modifying the installer by including xen modules in the initrd00:10
cjwatsona link to your blog post would be fine00:11
dmarkeyok grand00:11
dmarkeydone, bed for me too, night!00:17

xivulonevand, cjwatson I will only be able to attend UDS on thursday and friday, as I have to be in our NY office till wednesday.09:59
xivulongood part is that my company will take care of  the travel09:59
xivulonIf you want to have any dedicated meeting about wubi related stuff please schedule it for those days10:00
xivulonon my part I guess it is mostly a repetition of what was decided in prague10:01
xivulonmostly involving the new wubi python (which will also replace umenu) and wubi migration to dedicated partition (I have not done any work there yet other than a proof of concept script)10:10
cjwatsonxivulon: I won't be at UDS this time, so no point asking me :-)10:29
cjwatsonxivulon: robbiew is scheduling the Foundations track; mail Evan the details and he can pass them on10:30
xivuloncjwatson: thanks will do, have no gmail access atm11:10
xivulonand very best wishes to your family11:10
xivuloncjwatson: what is the status of 252900?14:09
xivulonas mentioned in the past we could also look into using grub2 since that seems to have loop file support14:09
xivulonI am aware of course of your warnings re grub2, but you could use wubi as a test case14:10
xivulonsince in my case grub4dos is replaced (as suggested by bean123) as supposed to grub legacy14:11
xivulons/supposed/opposed14:12
cjwatsonxivulon: not going to think about it until after holiday14:19
xivulonjust asking because I am putting together a list of topics for uds, np I will follow it up with evand :)14:21
