nebuchadnezzarI have a strange issue when preseeding an alternate iso, when loading the preseed I have a lot of messages "preseed/run: mount: mounting /dev/vda on /media failed: Invalid argument"14:41
nebuchadnezzarI try to preseed a trusty ISO14:42
nebuchadnezzarI can not figure out why the installer want to mount the disk on each preseed action15:13
cyphermoxnebuchadnezzar: wouldn't /dev/vda not be a partition but the whole disk, and otherwise possibly mounted somewhere else?18:10
cyphermoxnebuchadnezzar: if you can share your preseed, I can take a look18:11
nebuchadnezzarcyphermox: yes, /dev/vda is the whole disk but it's empty, no partition table yet19:23
nebuchadnezzarI'll provide the preseed tomorrow since I'm home now ;-)19:24
nebuchadnezzarnote that I do not have this issue when I netboot my installation from PXE, with exactly the same preseed19:25
cyphermoxnebuchadnezzar: so what device has the install media then?19:42
nebuchadnezzarcyphermox: no, the media is an iso as /dev/hda20:11
nebuchadnezzar/dev/vda is the virtio disk on which to install20:11
nebuchadnezzarcyphermox: note that I try a 14.04.2 server install and before displaying the curse installation I saw the same message, but only once20:20
cyphermoxwell, assuming you're trying to install to /dev/vda, it probably wouldn't try to mount it in /media, and rather try mounting in /target20:21
cyphermoxbut your preseed might contain clues as to what's going on, you'll just want to remove the root password if you're setting it in there20:21
cyphermox(if you can share it)20:22
nebuchadnezzarcyphermox: I'll be able to share it toworrow, at work, I don't have access from home20:46
cyphermoxno worries, just ping me :)20:52
cyphermoxbut be careful, like I said, preseed may contain a root password, so you'll want to check it over first20:53
