[18:56] <_gerhardj_> well hi, following the faq, here is my dump of the partition table http://pastebin.com/cqXmwWFF
[18:57] <_gerhardj_> trying to install 14.04, partman crashes with 141 and thereafter ubiquity
[18:58] <_gerhardj_> any clues?
[18:59] <_gerhardj_> x86, lastest iso, booted from a pendrive
[19:01] <pmatulis> CarlFK: i'm looking again at the stuff we discussed here a while ago (preseeding raid+crypt+lvm).  i have my mdadm devices set up with early_command but not sure how to meld that with a preseed that sets up the rest (crypt+lvm).  i get to the partitioning stage where i am presented with the menu (install lvm, manual, etc). i choose 'manual' and errors out (no root file system is defined)
[19:02] <CarlFK> pmatulis: post your early_command somewhere
[19:03] <CarlFK> personally I would figure out how to manage the whole thing in a repo.. which is an extra layer to deal with, but I think it is worth it
[19:04] <CarlFK> manage to keep all your files in a public repo
[19:04] <_gerhardj_> this is when i try to run partman: http://pastebin.com/43AT9kEX
[19:09] <pmatulis> CarlFK: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7301496/
[19:13] <_gerhardj_> ubiquity log: http://pastebin.com/szNSTia1
[19:15] <CarlFK> pmatulis: k, so at the end of that, md0 and md1 exist, right?
[19:15] <CarlFK> and you want md0 for /boot, and md1 for / ?
[19:17] <pmatulis> CarlFK: actually, the way this is right now: md0 (swap) and md1 (/)
[19:18] <CarlFK> ah right, swap.
[19:23] <pmatulis> i should prolly have md0 (/boot) and md1 (/ and swap put on lvm)
[19:28] <pmatulis> CarlFK: what i don't understand is how to tell d-i to use a specific raid array (md0 --> /boot OR md1 --> the rest)
[19:37] <_gerhardj_> anyone?
[19:39] <CarlFK> pmatulis: I think I did what you are trying to do, but I can't find any files
[19:41] <CarlFK> but I did find this: http://bryars.eu/2011/08/automating-debian-preseed-installs-with-raid-and-lvm/  scroll down to: ## Partitioning using RAID
[19:41] <CarlFK> _gerhardj_: sorry, no idea
[19:53] <_gerhardj_> CarlFK: ok, thanks for answering :)
[19:58] <_gerhardj_> well it may work now, the solution (although a chat may not be very persistent):
[19:59] <_gerhardj_> smashing the partition table a few times with various tools, then run "sudo partman" and choose "guided - use whole disk" then start ubiquity again
[20:00] <_gerhardj_> only my windows partition i can forget now :)
