ogra_cjwatson, so we still havent properly solved the flash-kernel issue with live-installer (running update-initramfs from console-setup) ... i initially did the diversion from the flash-kernel-installer udeb but that didnt end up in the live-installer.d hooks properly ... on a second look infinity found that setup_dev is actually commented in the code of live-installer (no /dev/mmcblk0 is what makes f-k fail actually) ...15:42
ogra_cjwatson, do you see a reason to not enable setup_dev (which would also make the extra bindmounting of /dev for grub unneeded)15:42
* ogra_ cant really find a reason in the changelog why it was disabled in the first place15:44
cjwatsonDid you do exactly what I said to do in the last conversation we had, or something slightly different?15:49
cjwatson(Do you have a date?  I need to refer to it, but don't have convenient IRC logs at the moment.)15:49
cjwatsonI'm not keen on messing about with bind-mount handling without great care and unless there's no alternative.  That kind of thing is always problematic.15:50
ogra_seemingly something slightly different, you suggested a diversion of update-initramfs ... which i did from flash-kernel-installer (which didnt work since the udeb is only installed later) it would have to go into live installer15:50
cjwatsonThat doesn't make sense.15:51
infinitySure it does.15:51
cjwatsonudebs are nearly all installed well before base system installation, and I'm not aware of any special arrangements to anna-install f-k-i later.15:51
infinityflash-kernel is in the squashfs, it has a hook in update-initramfs.d, so anything that triggers update-initramfs breaks.15:52
cjwatsonI understand that, but that's not what I'm disagreeing with.15:52
infinityBootloader-installer packages are on-demand, no?15:52
cjwatsonThe postinst is run on demand, and apt-installs the deb (not the udeb).15:52
ogra_i created post-base-installer.d/10flash-kernel-installer in the f-k-i udeb15:52
ogra_but that didnt end up in the filesystem at live-installer runtime15:52
cjwatsonCan I see the diff for this?15:53
cjwatsonIt doesn't seem to be in the archive.15:53
cjwatsonAh, here we go.15:54
ogra_flash-kernel-3.0~rc.4ubuntu815:54
cjwatsonAs I thought.  You installed the p-b-i script to the wrong path.15:55
cjwatsonDownload https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flash-kernel/3.0~rc.4ubuntu11/+build/3678592/+files/flash-kernel-installer_3.0%7Erc.4ubuntu11_armhf.udeb and run 'dpkg -c'15:55
cjwatson-rwxr-xr-x root/root       205 2012-07-24 14:27 ./usr/lib/post-base-installer.d/post-base-installer.d/01flash-kernel-diversion15:55
ogra_eek15:55
ogra_oh my, silly me15:55
cjwatsonThe .install file should've been "post-base-installer.d    usr/lib", not "post-base-installer.d    usr/lib/post-base-installer.d"15:55
ogra_but i'm 100% sure there was nothing else than 25live-installer-console-setup in my filesystem15:56
ogra_i should have seen that subdir in this case15:56
cjwatsonCan I see a log of a current installation?15:56
* ogra_ hasnt done one in a week, and we work around the issue with a hack that makes f-k exit 0 15:57
cjwatsonIt doesn't matter whether it's been worked around.15:57
cjwatsonI'm looking for something else.  Actually any d-i syslog from the last few months would be fine for what I'm looking for.15:57
cjwatsonWell, on the right arch/subarch obviously.15:58
* ogra_ can surely find an unrelated bug with a syslog, one sec15:58
ogra_hmpf, i only have ubiquity syslogs in the bugs i find16:00
ogra_gimme 30min and i'll produce a fresh one16:02
ogra_hmm, or not ... seems i cant proceed beyond locale selection ... serial console stays quiet16:14
ogra_(weird since our test installs worked in bostaon last week)16:15
ogra_ah, crap seems i did hit bug 1028905 once again16:19
ubot2Launchpad bug 1028905 in cdrom-detect "cdrom-detect in quantal omap4 hangs trying to look for install media on an extended partition" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/102890516:19
ogra_moving on now with a freshly wiped disk16:19
ogra_cjwatson, phew, took a bit longer ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1134597/17:01
cjwatsonOK, that shows what I thought.  flash-kernel-installer is retrieved and unpacked at the 'load-cdrom' stage, well before live-installer runs.  You can see that by searching for flash-kernel-installer - it's the first hit.17:02
cjwatsonSo I think you should just try restoring your previous code but fixing the hook location.17:03
cjwatsonAnd if that doesn't work we should debug from there.17:03
ogra_ok17:04
infinityogra_: And back out the other hack while you're in there, then.17:07
ogra_+++17:07
ogra_and +17:07
* infinity really runs off now.17:08
