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