[00:01] <cjwatson> the 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/$console
[00:01] <cjwatson> where $console is hvc0
[00:01] <cjwatson>                 sed -i -e "s/^\(exec.*\) -8/\1/" /target/etc/event.d/$console
[00:01] <cjwatson> so I'd mimic that
[00:02] <cjwatson> second statement is for future-proofing and probably isn't needed in 8.10
[00:04] <dmarkey> theres a slight glitch in Detect disks
[00:04] <dmarkey> not a show stopper though
[00:04] <cjwatson> oh?
[00:05] <dmarkey> the installed thinks /dev/xvda is a raid device and tries to "activate it"
[00:05] <cjwatson> can you file a bug please?
[00:05] <cjwatson> raid or dmraid (aka sata raid)?
[00:06] <dmarkey> http://pastebin.com/m5f90f86d
[00:06] <dmarkey> didnt really pastebin very well, but you get the idea
[00:06] <dmarkey> if you select yes or no, the install contindues regardless
[00:07] <cjwatson> may be fixed in jaunty, but please file it anyway
[00:07] <dmarkey> lol, this is hardly a supported configuration!
[00:08] <dmarkey> a bastardised initrd
[00:08] <cjwatson> https://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 it
[00:08] <cjwatson> sure, but I'm one of the maintainers and I hereby accept the bug anyway :P
[00:08] <dmarkey> ha, alright so
[00:09]  * dmarkey sighs because he has to register
[00:09] <cjwatson> yes, I'm afraid you do
[00:09]  * cjwatson -> bed
[00:10] <dmarkey> so do i explain that this is a bastardised xen kernel?
[00:10] <cjwatson> not important
[00:10] <dmarkey> ok
[00:10] <cjwatson> just outline that you're modifying the installer by including xen modules in the initrd
[00:11] <cjwatson> a link to your blog post would be fine
[00:11] <dmarkey> ok grand
[00:17] <dmarkey> done, bed for me too, night!
[00:18] <cjwatson> night
[09:59] <xivulon> evand, 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] <xivulon> good part is that my company will take care of  the travel
[10:00] <xivulon> If you want to have any dedicated meeting about wubi related stuff please schedule it for those days
[10:01] <xivulon> on my part I guess it is mostly a repetition of what was decided in prague
[10:10] <xivulon> mostly 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)
[10:29] <cjwatson> xivulon: I won't be at UDS this time, so no point asking me :-)
[10:30] <cjwatson> xivulon: robbiew is scheduling the Foundations track; mail Evan the details and he can pass them on
[11:10] <xivulon> cjwatson: thanks will do, have no gmail access atm
[11:10] <xivulon> and very best wishes to your family
[14:09] <xivulon> cjwatson: what is the status of 252900?
[14:09] <xivulon> as mentioned in the past we could also look into using grub2 since that seems to have loop file support
[14:10] <xivulon> I am aware of course of your warnings re grub2, but you could use wubi as a test case
[14:11] <xivulon> since in my case grub4dos is replaced (as suggested by bean123) as supposed to grub legacy
[14:12] <xivulon> s/supposed/opposed
[14:19] <cjwatson> xivulon: not going to think about it until after holiday
[14:21] <xivulon> just asking because I am putting together a list of topics for uds, np I will follow it up with evand :)
[14:59] <BenBender> hi there
[15:00] <BenBender> i ran into trouble while trying to get a ssh-console out of d-i
[15:00] <BenBender> i tried to tftp/preseed some config to get network-console to run
[15:01] <BenBender> i can login but everytime i connect and try to run a shell it drops me out
[15:01] <BenBender> all this happens on hardy
[15:01] <BenBender> anybody knows this specific behaviour?
[15:12] <superm1> evand, could you bring with you that laptop to hand back off and a flash drive (at least 2 gigs)?  I was going to grab the laptop back and give you what should be our gold factory image to have a copy of
[17:24] <BenBender> anybody awake? :)
[21:32] <evand> superm1: argh, I thought about it as I was on my way over from the airport, but I didn't think to put it in my bag as I was packing.  I have a flash drive though.
[21:32] <evand> And I can DHL/FedEx you the laptop when I get back to the east coast.
[23:41] <Zelut> I'm trying to automate the creation of logical volumes where the vg == $hostname of the machine.
[23:41] <Zelut> any suggestions?
[23:41] <Zelut> (this is during installation, of course)
