Package: autopartkit Severity: important Hi
The package doesn't work on the current daily build from debian-edu. It tries to do partitioning on the cd device. The cd device must be in the result from choose_device(), I am not sure if it is the only result. :( As far as I could see autopartkit comes to the make_partitions() function and dies after the message "Created LVM stacks". The complete error message is: error: 0, Unable to open /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd read-write (Read-only file system). /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd has been opened read-only. This error message comes from libparted, but shouldn't the autopartkit make sure that the cd device is not in the list of devices? According to LVM I am not familiar with it so I can't give you more input :( This whole bug can also be a problem with libparted, I am not completey sure. It depends on the output get_device_probe_all() gives, but from my own limited debugging it was impossible to remove cd from "dev" (which is a choose_device() ). If you have some spare time you could also get the iso from http://ftp.skolelinux.org/cd-etch-test/ start it in expert mode and do all needed steps first and then run automatic partitioning . In autopartkit.c you find some more debug addings which will give you some more output and there is a kind of patch which tries to remove the cd from the device list, but it fails :( Greetings and thanks in advance Steffen -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
