[00:30] <CarlFK> 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation SATA Controller [RAID mode] (rev 02)
[00:30] <CarlFK> not sure how it was configured... ran the installer, it seems to have installed, but wont' boot
[00:32] <CarlFK> I am in rescue mode, I was able to mount /dev/md126p1 and see the root fs.  here is fdisk / df http://paste.ubuntu.com/16880009/
[00:32] <CarlFK> hmm.. I should take this to #u
[01:55] <cyphermox> CarlFK: please file a bug, make sure you add as much information as possible (such as booting with 'verbose' and capturing the error messages on the console, so you probably want to take a picture)
[02:03] <CarlFK> cyphermox: k - what do I file the bug against ?
[02:04] <cyphermox> mdadm perhaps?
[02:04] <cyphermox> we can reassign as necessary
[07:32] <CarlFK> cyphermox: May 31 22:03:46 grub-installer: info: Installing grub on '/dev/md126p1'
[07:33] <CarlFK> is installing grub to a raid device supported ?
[13:14] <cyphermox> CarlFK: in that case it should install to the underlying devices. grub-installer should already know how to do this and fail early if it's not supported (and tell you it's the case)
[13:14] <cyphermox> if you can reach the rescue shell, you're already past booting with grub.
[13:14] <CarlFK> cyphermox: I booted the installer again
[13:14] <cyphermox> oh, actually, it could be a left-over grub though
[13:15] <cyphermox> ok
[13:15] <CarlFK> im 1/2 into reporting this against grub-installer ...
[13:15] <cyphermox> I don't think there is sufficient information right now to say it's grub-installer
[13:16] <cyphermox> if you want to report a bug, report it against mdadm, but make sure you add all the logs; that is to say, /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/syslog
[13:34] <CarlFK> damm, missed that.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1587889
[14:07] <cyphermox> CarlFK: well, can the system boot after that? doesn't it fall down in an initramfs?
[14:08] <cyphermox> I'll test this in VMs in a bit
[14:13] <mowthegrass> Hi ..
[14:13] <mowthegrass> Any idea on how to pass a variable to a preseed file
[14:13] <mowthegrass> I am trying to execute the below
[14:13] <CarlFK> cyphermox: after what?  (the only thing I have done is chroot /target grub-install --force "/dev/md126p1" ... grub-install: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[14:14] <mowthegrass> d-i partman/early_command string \
[14:14] <mowthegrass> 'OSDISK=$(cat /proc/partitions | tr -s " " | cut -d " " -f4,5 | grep "[hsv]d[a-z]$" | sort -n | grep [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] | head -1 | cut -d " " -f2); debconf-set partman-auto/disk "/dev/$OSDISK";debconf-set partman-auto/disk \"/dev/$OSDISK\"; debconf-set partman-auto/method string lvm;’
[14:32] <cyphermox> CarlFK: it would be nice if you could do a full installation and reboot at the end if it finishes successfully, so we know whether it manages to boot and all
[14:33] <CarlFK> cyphermox: I did do a full install, and it doesn't boot (post ends, cursor sits and blinks)
[14:34] <cyphermox> though, like I said, I'll do that myself later
[16:21] <CarlFK> cyphermox: it not boots - I think what fixed it: grub-install --recheck --no-floppy  /dev/md126
[16:22] <CarlFK> I'll re-run the preseed install, then rescue mode, then just that
[18:35] <mowthegrass> Hello all has anyone tried to chainload a preseed configuration ?
[18:35] <mowthegrass> d-i preseed/include string seed1.cfg
[18:36] <mowthegrass> like the above example is that available for Ubuntu installation i dont see this in the sample preseed txt file availble here (https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt)
[19:16] <CarlFK> mowthegrass:  I do
[19:17] <mowthegrass> carlFK can you help me with a sample preseed file
[19:17] <CarlFK> mowthegrass: d-i preseed/include string preseed_video.cfg preseed_disk.cfg preseed_local.cfg
[19:17] <CarlFK> https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/www/d-i/xenial/preseed.cfg
[19:18] <mowthegrass> Thank you so much let me try that
[19:20] <mowthegrass> I am trying to dynamically create a preseed-disk.cfg by partman/early_command
[19:21] <mowthegrass> basically changing the disk names and then perform a preseed/include
[19:21] <mowthegrass> let me check on that , Thx
