[08:16] <nebuchadnezzar> hello
[14:41] <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"
[14:42] <nebuchadnezzar> I try to preseed a trusty ISO
[15:13] <nebuchadnezzar> I can not figure out why the installer want to mount the disk on each preseed action
[18:10] <cyphermox> nebuchadnezzar: wouldn't /dev/vda not be a partition but the whole disk, and otherwise possibly mounted somewhere else?
[18:11] <cyphermox> nebuchadnezzar: if you can share your preseed, I can take a look
[19:23] <nebuchadnezzar> cyphermox: yes, /dev/vda is the whole disk but it's empty, no partition table yet
[19:24] <nebuchadnezzar> I'll provide the preseed tomorrow since I'm home now ;-)
[19:25] <nebuchadnezzar> note that I do not have this issue when I netboot my installation from PXE, with exactly the same preseed
[19:42] <cyphermox> nebuchadnezzar: so what device has the install media then?
[20:11] <nebuchadnezzar> cyphermox: no, the media is an iso as /dev/hda
[20:11] <nebuchadnezzar> /dev/vda is the virtio disk on which to install
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <cyphermox> (if you can share it)
[20:46] <nebuchadnezzar> cyphermox: I'll be able to share it toworrow, at work, I don't have access from home
[20:52] <cyphermox> no worries, just ping me :)
[20:53] <cyphermox> but be careful, like I said, preseed may contain a root password, so you'll want to check it over first
