| cjwatson | psivaa: *looks* like a kernel bug | 14:15 |
| psivaa | cjwatson: ack, thanks for assigning it to them and the analysis :) | 14:16 |
| fish_ | gnaa. I was so happy when I finally got my preseed working and now I want to reinstall the system and have to answer questions again. seems that the installer tries to be smart and not removing the old installation | 16:22 |
| fish_ | anyone which options I have to set to make the installer remove everything which is necessary to come up with the same installation as if run on a empty/new system? | 16:23 |
| fish_ | partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm and partman-md/device_remove_md is already true | 16:25 |
| fish_ | but the installer stops asking where to install grub. and if I choose the first and what it seems correct item (sda), after the installation I end up with: | 16:26 |
| fish_ | [ 2.733887] VFS: Cannot open root device "mapper/ubuntu--vg-root" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6 | 16:26 |
| fish_ | hrmm maybe because I haven't set partman-auto/disk | 16:35 |
| fish_ | no, same | 16:44 |
| fish_ | this really sucks. trail and error with 15 minutes for each try | 16:45 |
| fish_ | and nope, again this wasn't it | 17:01 |
| fish_ | ok, this seems to be caused by a different issue: I'm trying to install precise with a raring backport kernel (linux-image-generic-lts-raring) | 17:09 |
| fish_ | and it seems that this is somehow breaking the installer: the system will try to boot linux-image-generic-lts-raring but fails to mount / (mapper/ubuntu--vg-root) | 17:09 |
| fish_ | I've installed several (3 to be specific) with the same preseed expect this kernel but installed the kernel manually afterwards and that worked fine | 17:10 |
| fish_ | ok found it. looks like it's not creating a initrd for whatever reason | 17:16 |
| fish_ | I'm happy to report that issue if someone points me in the right direction | 17:23 |
| fish_ | I guess it won't run `update-initramfs` for that kernel when installed from the debian installer | 17:24 |
