joshkhow does one set OVERRIDE_ALLOW_PRESEEDING?00:34
joshkcan you just pass it on the kernel command line? will it get picked up?00:34
joshknever mind, it works on the kernel command-line00:50
ogracjwatson, ev, partman and migration assistant both die on omap ubiquity http://pastebin.com/Q5qUwvB9 any ideas ?11:22
cjwatsonBus error?  Goodness knows11:24
ograi was wondering about /target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat11:24
ograthats something i can ignore ?11:24
cjwatsonirrelevant11:24
ogra(it seems to try to access it before partman even started11:24
ograok11:25
cjwatsonit's just stuff run on ubiquity exit that only works if the system actually managed to get installed11:25
ogranote that i only have 256M and use 50% compcache11:25
ograbut i dont see any OOM in dmesg or anywhere so i think it should be fine even with that value11:25
cjwatsonprobably irrelevant too.  bus error suggests a bug in some C program, or even miscompilation11:25
ogragah11:25
cjwatsonwhy would you suspect OOM?  Bus error doesn't mean that11:26
ograbecause i get OOM if i run with the default of 25% compcache11:26
cjwatsonit's a bad memory access of some kind11:26
cjwatsonso first step is to find out what program is being killed with that signal11:26
ogragetting only ~300M11:26
cjwatsonstrace may help11:26
cjwatsonfollow the evidence, don't guess wildly :)11:26
* ogra tries to ... i'm a bit desparate since even the kernel isnt 100% yet 11:27
ograso it can be anything really11:27
cjwatsonSIGBUS could certainly easily be a kernel bug11:28
ogra[ 1094.317077] Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1018) at 0x401f900011:28
ogra[ 1094.317169] Process 5295(parted_server) has RLIMIT_CORE set to 011:28
ogra[ 1094.317169] Aborting core11:28
ogradmesg^^^11:28
ograsetting RTLIMIT_CORE to 0 is desired ?11:29
cjwatsonok, so then try attaching gdb to it before it SIGBUSses, and find out where it falls over11:29
cjwatsonRLIMIT_CORE is 0 by default11:29
ograseems the fix for bug 498525 is missing in the omap kernel11:35

cjwatsonogra: are you going to implement these new omap installer bugs you filed?  I know I'm not going to have time16:21
ogracjwatson, for flash-kernel ? sure16:21
ograthats why i assigned them to me16:21
ograi just want to give slangasek something16:21
ograsince they are new features16:22

ograNCommander was offering help here16:22
ograand he created the package16:22
cjwatsonI'll assign it to your team, and you can take it from there16:22
ograso i assume we're fine here, i just dont want to assign it to hijm right now since i dont want to distract him from OO.o fixing16:23
ogracjwatson, ubuntu-armel please16:23
cjwatsonoh16:23
* cjwatson quickly changes it16:23
ograwe try to keep canonical out of the bugs :)16:23
cjwatsonwell, I don't see why that's necessary, but OK16:24
ograin case an enthusiastic community dev comes and wants to help :)16:24
ogracjwatson, i guess persia could explain that to you :)16:24
persiaIf nothing else, the team has had significant historical involvement from InDT16:25
dmarkeycjwatson: did you make any block alignment improvments in 10.04?16:39
cjwatsonin the partitioner, you mean?16:40
dmarkeyyep16:41
cjwatsonyes, significant16:41
cjwatsonwe try to apply optimal alignment by default now16:42
dmarkeygreat, did anyone do any benchmarks?16:42
dmarkeyunder kvm etc16:42
cjwatsonno16:43
cjwatsoncorrectness first :)16:43
cjwatsonanyway, I wouldn't expect kvm to show much of a difference16:43
cjwatsonthe differences would be on real disks that care about alignment16:44
dmarkeygreat, i see16:44
dmarkeyhmm.. i see the installer makes /boot xvda1 under xen, but sda5 normally(when using lvm)17:33
