CIA-16base-installer: cjwatson * r963 ubuntu/ (15 files in 4 dirs): merge from Debian 1.12213:45
CIA-16base-installer: cjwatson * r964 ubuntu/debian/changelog: releasing version 1.122ubuntu113:47
DW-10297Any chance that the Adaptec 6405 is going to be supported in installer anytime soon? killing me =D13:50
cjwatsonIt's probably best to ask the kernel team about that13:51
cjwatsonWe just use the kernel they give us13:51
DW-10297How do I find these gents?13:52
cjwatson#ubuntu-kernel13:52
DW-10297I was praying so hard that 11.11 had the driver13:52
DW-10297cjwatson: okay so in a round about way I have figured out it's an installer issue =D14:41
DW-10297I thought it was a kernel issue because my auto install kickstart script told me that there was no root partition defined, so I just stupidly assumed that it was because the raid controller didn't work14:42
DW-10297So I removed all of the lines relevant to disks from the kickstart file, and what it does is takes me to the "[!!] Partition Disks" screen, the only option on this screen says: "Configure ISCSI Volumes".. However if I hit "Go Back" here and then 'Partition Disks'14:44
DW-10297it takes me to the screen asking me if I want to remove the LVM data already on the drive14:45
DW-10297so it seems like the first time it calls partman it's highly confused14:45
DW-10297but the second time it isn't14:45
cjwatsonI don't really have mental bandwidth to help right now, because I'm doing several other complex things; a bug report about this would need to have the kickstart file (with passwords removed) plus the syslog and partman installer logs14:46
cjwatsonthen hopefully it can be reproduced in a VM14:46
DW-10297this is the last question I will burden you with, is the version of the netboot in the server ISO the current version?14:48
cjwatsonprobably, but in any case it's best to fetch it from the archive14:49
cjwatsonhttp://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/14:50
cjwatsoner, hah, that doesn't exist yet, s/oneiric-updates/oneiric/14:50
cjwatsonwhen a more current version is published, it will be in oneiric-updates14:50
cjwatsonbut that'd just be a refresh against kernel updates, most likely14:51
DW-10297ah, okay so hitting go back 'partition disks' and then enter a bunch of times actually results in a working install it appears14:53
DW-10297so no clue but I guess i'll just do that =)14:53
cjwatsonsounds dodgy to me but if it works for you ...14:54
DW-10297I don't disagree that it's dodgy, I just need the server to work soon so my choices are limited, either use this or Fedora 16 =)14:55
DW-10297where can I drop the bug?14:55
cjwatsonthe debian-installer package in Ubuntu14:55
DW-10297is that at like bugzilla.ubuntu.com?14:56
cjwatsonlaunchpad.net14:57
CarlFKDW-10297: https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian-installer15:10
cjwatsonno15:11
cjwatsonplease do not use that link15:11
cjwatsonhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer15:11
CarlFK?15:11
cjwatsonthe link you gave represents debian-installer upstream, which does not use Launchpad for bug tracking; reports there will go into a black hole15:12
CarlFKer, never midn.. right/15:12
CarlFKDW-10297: I just did an install on a hardware raid that shows up as /dev/cciss/c0d0p not /dev/sda - I got the "no / defined" message.15:15
DW-10297if you hit back and then 'partition disks' does it work normally?15:16
DW-10297cjwatson: this is where I am trying to publish the bug will this work? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+filebug15:16
cjwatsonyes15:17
DW-10297does the log file you need me to paste into here exist after the install is completed or do I need to copy it out during the install?15:18
CarlFKDW-10297: for me, back just looped to the same "no /" dialog.   I used dev/cciss/c0d0p for "d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda"15:19
DW-10297CarlFK: yeah, I removed all of the stuff related to disks in my kickstart script15:19
DW-10297if you have it in there it will infinitely loop15:19
CarlFKDW-10297:  /var/log/installer/syslog15:19
DW-10297CarlFK and that will exist after the install is completed?15:20
CarlFKyes15:20
DW-10297does launchpad give you the opportunity to submit attachments or should I just paste my kickstart/log into this little box?15:21
DW-10297i want to be least annoying as possible15:21
CarlFKattachments15:22
CarlFKfor more in syslog DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 here is mine: append initrd=ubuntu/oneiric/amd64/initrd.gz root=/dev/rd/0 rw auto=true     netcfg/wireless_wep= interface=auto hostname= DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 url=shaz --15:23
cjwatsonuse DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer instead15:26
cjwatson(=5 won't produce a debug trace from stuff in the target)15:26
cjwatsonhowever remember that DEBCONF_DEBUG exposes the password in the trace, so don't use it routinely, only when you're actually debugging stuff15:26
cjwatsonit's sort of like strace15:27
DW-10297can you add an additional attachment to a bug after you submit it or should I create one file with the ks and the log?15:31
DW-10297okay, nevermind15:32
DW-10297 an additional attachment to a bug after you submit it or should I create one file with the ks and the log?15:32
