[05:17] <twb> When network installing 8.04 onto a blank virtual (qemu) disk, I keep getting the following error:
[05:17] <twb> The target file system contains files from a past installation. These files could cause problems with the installation process, and if you proceed, some of the existing files may be overwritten. Proceed with installation to unclean target?
[05:18] <twb> I'd like to understand why this is happening, and how to stop it.
[05:18] <twb> (This netinst is obviously done with d-i, not ubiquity.)
[13:23] <tjaalton> cjwatson: the twoliner patch for grub made multipath work, whee :)
[13:34] <CIA-5> debian-installer: cjwatson * r1014 ubuntu/debian/changelog: No-change rebuild to pick up new components (udev, hw-detect).
[14:02] <tjaalton> cjwatson_: the installer will still ask for module options even if disk-detect.sh has '|| true' appended after module_probe. happens now four times if multipath is used (since they all are built in)
[14:05] <tjaalton> cjwatson_: oh, the latest version might be different
[14:06] <cjwatson> hm, that's true
[14:18] <cjwatson> tjaalton: working on it
[14:19] <tjaalton> cjwatson: ok thanks, it's just a minor nuisance but it interrupts the installer ;)
[14:24] <cjwatson> annoyingly I can't find any other way to tell whether dm-round-robin is loaded
[14:39] <CIA-5> hw-detect: cjwatson * r104 ubuntu/ (debian/changelog disk-detect.sh):
[14:39] <CIA-5> hw-detect: Improve checks for dm-* drivers being present to avoid relying on them
[14:39] <CIA-5> hw-detect: being built as modules.
[14:39] <cjwatson> untested but I hope that'll work
[14:41] <CIA-5> hw-detect: cjwatson * r105 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.71ubuntu3
[14:46] <tjaalton> I might be able to test it tomorrow
[14:51] <cjwatson> I'll upload d-i to include that at some point later today
[17:17] <CIA-5> debian-installer: cjwatson * r1015 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 20081029ubuntu8
