| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 879662 in ubiquity "installer crashed with IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/target/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d' during system installation" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/879662 | 15:05 |
| cjwatson | if the kernel can't read it you lose | 15:06 |
| cjwatson | (or write to it, depending on what we're talking about) | 15:07 |
| bdmurray | well that one has 2 bad sectors but I've seen other messages where it says something along the lines of a hopeless number | 15:07 |
| cjwatson | this should all be lower-level than the installer; if the installer has to concern itself with bad sector count then the system is hopelessly fucked | 15:07 |
| cjwatson | if you'll pardon the phrase | 15:07 |
| cjwatson | ntfsresize isn't directly relevant; it may be indicative | 15:08 |
| cjwatson | the kernel hasn't logged anything directly about the cause of the error, so it's hard to tell | 15:10 |
| cjwatson | it's possible that it copied bad data from the CD and didn't realise it, or that it read/wrote bad data to/from the hard disk and didn't realise it | 15:11 |
| cjwatson | although that is Not Supposed To Be Able To Happen | 15:11 |
| bdmurray | wasn't there a recent bug like bug 388060? | 17:03 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 388060 in casper "netboot insall of live cd results in a manual network interface configuration" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/388060 | 17:03 |
