| EntropyWorks | trying to netboot 12.10 and its missing the mlx4_en module for networking | 01:26 |
|---|---|---|
| EntropyWorks | plus once I remade the initrd.gz it fails again, can't find my disks. | 01:27 |
| shadeslayer | hey, is there a documented way to generate .disk/info ? | 09:27 |
| shadeslayer | or is there documentation for how the string should look | 09:27 |
| shadeslayer | oh nvm, it's from lsb-release | 09:37 |
| soren | I have a preseed that includes "d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true", but I still get the "Unable to automatically remove LVM data" prompt. | 11:17 |
| soren | If I'm using an expert_recipe. Could that be the cause? | 11:18 |
| soren | s/^If // | 11:18 |
| xnox | soren: can you reproduce this with quantal CD or not? | 11:19 |
| xnox | soren: wait. Better - which cd are you using? | 11:19 |
| soren | Sorry, should have mentioned that. This is with Precise. | 11:20 |
| xnox | hmmm.... well I have fixed bug 154086 in partman-auto-lvm because I have assumed that it will be impossible to be triggered with pure partman-lvm. | 11:21 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 154086 in partman-auto-lvm (Debian) "Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use" [Unknown,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/154086 | 11:21 |
| soren | xnox: I do have that version of partman-auto-lvm. :-/ | 11:23 |
| xnox | I am reading the source code and trying to figure out the codepath you are hitting. | 11:25 |
| soren | xnox: Hm. | 11:29 |
| soren | It seems I can work around it by passing all disks in partman-auto/disk | 11:29 |
| xnox | soren: yes. | 11:30 |
| xnox | soren: see https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/partman-lvm/ubuntu/view/head:/lib/lvm-remove.sh#L1 | 11:30 |
| soren | xnox: Either that or have an early command that just goes ahead and nukes all the pvs and vgs and whatever. | 11:30 |
| soren | xnox: Yeah, that's what I'm looking at, too. | 11:30 |
| xnox | so it looks like it's a safety check: if VG is spanning more than the disks you asked to be partitioned, it bails out since changes affect more disks that you asked to touch. | 11:31 |
| soren | Right. | 11:31 |
| soren | But what I want is just to start from scratch. Nuke everything and reinstall. | 11:31 |
| soren | Even in that means just installing onto one disk even if it used to span two. | 11:31 |
| xnox | true. | 11:31 |
| soren | I think I'll do the early_command thing. | 11:32 |
| * soren wonders if lvm is available by then, but I guess it would have to be. | 11:33 | |
| xnox | soren: there is partman/early_command I believe which is run after d-i initialisation but before partman. Let me double check the correct command name. | 11:35 |
| xnox | soren: yeah "d-i partman/early_command string $nuke_all" at that point you should have partman-lvm already. | 11:36 |
| xnox | you may need to modprobe device-mapper. | 11:36 |
| xnox | soren: can you still open a bug against partman-lvm e.g. "cannot destroy & reinstall however I like" | 11:46 |
| soren | xnox: Yeah, will do. | 11:53 |
| soren | xnox: Thanks. | 11:53 |
| soren | xnox: And yes, the partman/early_command was what I meant. I'll know in a few seconds if it worked. | 11:53 |
| xnox | soren: ack & cool =)))) | 11:54 |
| soren | Yup, seems to have done the trick. | 11:59 |

| EntropyWorks | curious why the netboot installer for 12.10 ended up putting 12.04.1 on the server I finally got to booting | 18:36 |
| cjwatson | Logs? | 18:38 |
| cjwatson | (/var/log/installer/syslog) | 18:38 |
| EntropyWorks | gathering logs now... will have a pastebin in a bit | 18:44 |
| cjwatson | We only need that one file | 18:45 |
| EntropyWorks | false alarm... looks like someone updated a file from an old preseed.cfg that still had "d-i mirror/udeb/suite string precise" and "d-i mirror/suite string precise" that would do it.. | 18:48 |
| cjwatson | Right | 18:48 |
| EntropyWorks | I do have a question about the netboot installer linux and initrd.gz I need to add a bunch of kernel modules to get it to work. | 18:49 |
| EntropyWorks | btw this is my fixes for the quantal netboot initrd.gz http://goo.gl/PfOZd | 19:45 |
| infinity | EntropyWorks: Sounds like perhaps that driver might be missing from nic-modules.udeb | 19:56 |
| infinity | EntropyWorks: I'd recommend filing a kernel bug and following up with #ubuntu-kernel. | 19:56 |
| EntropyWorks | infinity: ok | 20:03 |
