ogracjwatson, so my partman issue seems to be actually a disk-detect issue ... i finally got set -x output in syslog for that, would you mind taking a look ? http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44009972/syslog10:08
ogracjwatson, the "Unhandled fault" seems to happen actually before disk-detect even runs, is there anything else triggered by default when i run it ?10:10
ogracjwatson, did you get my above ping ?10:21

ogracjwatson, the "Unhandled fault" seems to happen actually before disk-detect even runs, is there anything else triggered by default when i run it ?10:25
ograi also have added set -x to check-missing-firmware now (see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ti-omap/+bug/561426) that exposes the bus error but its not clear why exactly causes it10:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 561426 in linux-ti-omap "partman dies when trying to detect disks due to kernel error" [High,In progress]10:26
cjwatsonwell, I mean it goes through main-menu and such, but you might also just be seeing log messages flushed out of order; it isn't conclusive10:26
ograand the kernel error still shows up above it10:26
cjwatsonparted_devices is consistently getting a bus error there10:26

cjwatson'anna-install strace-udeb' and try stracing it?10:30
ograok10:35
zimbatmhi there10:56
ogracjwatson, do you have any preferenc where to add omap in the HW list in libdebian-installer (alphabetical by name or arch or so ?) or should it just add it by gut feeling (seems dove and imx51 were just added in random places)10:57
ograthe existing arches seem to follow a schema sorted alphabetically by subarch10:58
cjwatsondunno really, stick it just after dove I guess11:00
cjwatsonthen at least the Ubuntu additions are together11:00
ograok11:00
zimbatmHow do you debug something further than DEBCONF_DEVEL=developer ?11:01
zimbatmFor example, I'm building a custom ISO based on lucid, and "anna" tells me that "no packages for kernel in archive"11:02
zimbatmI would pretty much like to know which package it is looking for11:02
zimbatmI tried poking around in the filesystem. I had some hope when I found /var/lib/dpkg , but not11:03
zimbatmanna-install is a minimalist dpkg replacement for .udeb as I understand, but doesn't it unwrap the package scripts somewhere before executing them ?11:04
cjwatsonzimbatm: well, you should start by having the source code handy and tracing through it11:09
cjwatsonbut that error means that there are no entries in the Packages file on the CD with a Kernel-Version field matching the running kernel11:10
cjwatsonrather than any specific package name11:10
cjwatsonI'll clarify that message upstream11:10
zimbatmcjwatson, hmm11:11
zimbatmI'm using the latest packages from archive.ubuntu.com -> reprepro -> updated dist/pool on the CD11:12
zimbatmwhat's weird is that sometimes it work11:12
cjwatsonthat doesn't necessarily mean that the kernel you're booting the installer with matches, though11:12
zimbatmIt's like they publish a new kernel, but *.udeb get updated later (that's what I suspect)11:12
cjwatsonand you should also check the Packages files in dists/*/main/debian-installer/binary-*/ to make sure that they have Kernel-Version fields11:13
cjwatsonyour suspicion is incorrect11:13
zimbatmalright11:13
cjwatsonhowever, the installer (dists/*/main/installer-*/current/images/) does need to be rebuilt against new kernel udebs, and *that* isn't immediate11:13
cjwatsonso you should always make sure that they match11:13
zimbatmcjwatson, reprepro has fetcher the Kernel-Version tags correctly, now I will look for version correspondance11:17
cjwatsonogra: can you try applying http://paste.ubuntu.com/413578/, building, scping in the new libparted.so.0.0.1, and running parted_devices again?11:20
ogracjwatson, will do11:57

ograoh, its surrounded by the #ifdef USE_DMI12:22
zimbatmcjwatson, thanks a lot for your help. Updating the CD's vmlinuz and initrd made the trick.12:35
cjwatsonogra: whoops.  Try http://paste.ubuntu.com/413606/ ?12:48
ogracjwatson, i also have an issue with libdebian-installer somehow dh --builddirectory=build gets expanded to -O--builddirectory=build at build time, any idea why ?12:50
ograits not that i would have changed anything but adding one line to the c source12:50
cjwatsonwhat's wrong with that?12:51
cjwatson-O is documented in debhelper(7)12:51
ograhttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/35017551/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-armel.libdebian-installer_0.68ubuntu1_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz is the upload from Nov ... it doesnt have that ... http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44019882/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-amd64.libdebian-installer_0.68ubuntu2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz has the -O12:52
ograit looks broken that its directly attached to the --12:52
ograits the only difference i can see ...12:53
cjwatsonlooks unrelated to me12:54
cjwatsondirectly attached is correct - see debhelper 7.4.12 changelog for why it's there12:55
=== rgreening_ is now known as rgreening
ograhmm, i would have read the manpage that it needs to be -O=--...12:55
cjwatsonit works fine here the way it is.  I think this is a red herring12:55
ograbut if thats ok, then i dont know whats wrong here ...12:55
ograoh, wait, seems the autoreconf doesnt run12:56
cjwatsoncould you let me prepare a new source package?12:56
cjwatsonI'll fix it12:57
cjwatsonnot all the stuff is in bzr for historical reasons, and it requires care.  why didn't you use debdiff before uploading?12:57
ograoh, sorry, i didnt know that12:57
cjwatsonchecking debdiff defends you against things you don't know :)12:58
ograyeah, will do that the next time12:58

cjwatsonsilly trick for quickly testing grub changes13:48
cjwatsoninstall new version and make very sure that grub.cfg is configured to show the menu by default, rather than using the default zero-delay hidden timeout13:49
cjwatsonthen: sudo kvm -hda /dev/sda13:49
cjwatsonbit twisty, but a lot quicker than rebooting13:50
cjwatsonas long as you make bloody sure not to actually boot an OS inside that kvm :-)13:51
persiaheh.13:52
persiaWould it be safe for dual-booters to boot an OS, as long as it wasn't the runing OS, or is it too much madness?13:52
cjwatsonas long as no common partitions were mounted, I suppose13:59
cjwatsonI wouldn't want to be the one to recommend this, though :-)13:59
