| complience | my ubuntu installation appears to fail upon loading of the kernal into the /boot partition | 11:25 |
| complience | I think there is an a problem with how ubuntu is talking to my motherboard controller | 11:25 |
| ev | complience: can you elaborate on exactly where you are seeing the error, and what the exact text of the error is? | 11:27 |
| complience | ev im seeing different errors depending on what version of ubuntu i install,.. legacy versions and alternative | 11:28 |
| complience | i/0 error can't boot CD is one | 11:28 |
| complience | warning kernal has not been loaded is another | 11:28 |
| ev | complience: are you able to boot a Ubuntu 10.04 live CD at all? | 11:29 |
| complience | with the alternative CD it doesn't give any error message, but after a seemly sucessfull install upon restarting nothing happens. | 11:29 |
| complience | no.. can't boot the ubuntu live CD | 11:29 |
| complience | have to use a USB | 11:29 |

| complience | but usb, its very very very slow.. but gets there in the end. | 11:32 |

| xnox | ev, annoyed at the multiple ITP's for the usb-creator.... oh well no response from the guy who said he did something so far.... | 14:56 |
| persia | xnox: You may be amused to know that debian-qa is considering enabling the ITP->RFP automatic timeout script again for people not doing stuff quickly. | 15:03 |
| xnox | persia, thanks you have cheered me up =) | 15:04 |
| * xnox thinks i have some random ITP's pending on my name as well...... | 15:04 | |
| persia | Might want to sort those or retitle RFP :) | 15:06 |
| xnox | persia, on a side note =) YOU ROCK | 15:08 |
| xnox | gave me loads of encouragement since pretty much my first sponsored upload to ubuntu ;-) | 15:09 |
| davmor2 | xnox: no I think your wrong all the devs rock some just rock harder :D | 15:14 |
| xnox | davmor2, true =) and my perception of hard-rockness is based on my biased amount of interaction with devs ;-) | 15:15 |
| ev | xnox: the "lets name the package this-program-lets-you-put-a-variety-of-distributions-install-media-on-a-usb-disk" argument is a bit crazy | 15:20 |
| xnox | =) shall we rename autotoools-dev into makes-your-file-with-autotools-slightly-less-painful based on above argument? =))))) | 15:22 |

This will let us track the progress within the Ubuntu Foundations Team as part of our burndown chart (http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/canonical-foundations.html). | 16:10 |
| xnox | ev, ok. I'll read through those and start drafting ;-) | 16:10 |

| ted_ | hello. i'm trying to find somebody who understands in some detail how the ubuntu 9.10 installation is set up. i have a script that runs from preseed, like "d-i preseed/run string foo.sh", and i seem to have different stuff in /lib/modules/$(uname) from this script's perspective than i do when i run the "Execute a shell" menu item. are there multiple initrds that get mounted in succession or something? | 22:35 |
| cjwatson | just the one initrd | 22:49 |
| cjwatson | I'd be happy to go into this in detail but I'm about to go to sleep. Perhaps you could ask roughly during European working hours, if possible? | 22:50 |
| soren | cjwatson: You sleep? When did this start? | 22:50 |
| cjwatson | a bit over 30 years ago | 22:53 |
| ted_ | hey | 22:53 |
| ted_ | yeah i'm going home pretty soon anyway | 22:53 |
| cjwatson | ted_: oh, note that the installer downloads some components of itself on the fly - there'll certainly be more kernel modules present by the end of the installer vs. the start | 22:53 |
| ted_ | okay | 22:54 |
| ted_ | the thing that is really mystifying me is why things i put in the initrd don't show up during the preseed/run script | 22:54 |
| ted_ | is / not always the root of the initrd? | 22:55 |
| ted_ | cjwatson: anyway, i don't want to keep you up. i'll be online tomorrow around 1300 UTC | 22:56 |
| cjwatson | is always the root of the initrd, unless explicitly chrooted to the installation target obviously | 22:56 |
| ted_ | yes | 22:56 |
| cjwatson | ok | 22:56 |
| cjwatson | happy to look at a sample preseed file + logs, or whatever | 22:57 |
| ted_ | cool | 22:58 |
| cjwatson | or whatever other modifications you're making | 22:58 |
| ted_ | oh ok | 22:58 |
| ted_ | so among the packages it grabs | 22:58 |
| ted_ | is probably one containing this module | 22:59 |
| ted_ | so if i just explicitly stick it in the initrd | 22:59 |
| ted_ | run depmod | 22:59 |
| ted_ | repackage it | 22:59 |
| ted_ | i should have it during preseed/run time? | 22:59 |
| ted_ | thanks! | 23:00 |
