| nebuchadnezzar | hello | 08:16 |
|---|---|---|
| nebuchadnezzar | I 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 |
| nebuchadnezzar | I try to preseed a trusty ISO | 14:42 |
| nebuchadnezzar | I can not figure out why the installer want to mount the disk on each preseed action | 15:13 |
| cyphermox | nebuchadnezzar: wouldn't /dev/vda not be a partition but the whole disk, and otherwise possibly mounted somewhere else? | 18:10 |
| cyphermox | nebuchadnezzar: if you can share your preseed, I can take a look | 18:11 |
| nebuchadnezzar | cyphermox: yes, /dev/vda is the whole disk but it's empty, no partition table yet | 19:23 |
| nebuchadnezzar | I'll provide the preseed tomorrow since I'm home now ;-) | 19:24 |
| nebuchadnezzar | note that I do not have this issue when I netboot my installation from PXE, with exactly the same preseed | 19:25 |
| cyphermox | nebuchadnezzar: so what device has the install media then? | 19:42 |
| nebuchadnezzar | cyphermox: no, the media is an iso as /dev/hda | 20:11 |
| nebuchadnezzar | /dev/vda is the virtio disk on which to install | 20:11 |
| nebuchadnezzar | cyphermox: note that I try a 14.04.2 server install and before displaying the curse installation I saw the same message, but only once | 20:20 |
| cyphermox | well, assuming you're trying to install to /dev/vda, it probably wouldn't try to mount it in /media, and rather try mounting in /target | 20:21 |
| cyphermox | but 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 there | 20:21 |
| cyphermox | (if you can share it) | 20:22 |
| nebuchadnezzar | cyphermox: I'll be able to share it toworrow, at work, I don't have access from home | 20:46 |
| cyphermox | no worries, just ping me :) | 20:52 |
| cyphermox | but be careful, like I said, preseed may contain a root password, so you'll want to check it over first | 20:53 |
