[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] 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] pmatulis: post your early_command somewhere [19:03] 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] 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] CarlFK: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7301496/ [19:13] <_gerhardj_> ubiquity log: http://pastebin.com/szNSTia1 [19:15] pmatulis: k, so at the end of that, md0 and md1 exist, right? [19:15] and you want md0 for /boot, and md1 for / ? [19:17] CarlFK: actually, the way this is right now: md0 (swap) and md1 (/) [19:18] ah right, swap. [19:23] i should prolly have md0 (/boot) and md1 (/ and swap put on lvm) [19:28] 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] pmatulis: I think I did what you are trying to do, but I can't find any files [19:41] 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] _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 :)
