package: linux-base version: 2.6.32-15 severity: wishlist tags: patch Hi,
first of all: thank you all for maintaining linux-2.6 - you're doing an
awesome job!
<h01ger> hi. i'm using .32.bpo on lenny, together with linux-base. so far so
good, works great. but i have an issue with automated installs (with d-i and
preseeding): linux-base informs me that /etc/fstab contains an entry
(/etc/scd0 iirc) which might not work in future versions. i couldnt care less
and would like to get rid of this warning,as it prevents fully automated
installations
<bwh^> h01ger: I put a heuristic in there to work out whether this is a fresh
installation or upgrade
<bwh^> h01ger: Maybe you can suggest how to improve it
<bwh^> (the problem is that linux-base did not exist in lenny, so we cannot
check whether the package itself is being upgraded)
<bwh^> Of course you should also be able to preseed the answer
<h01ger> i tried, using what debconf-get-selections |grep linux-base gave me
after an installation, but that didnt work
<bwh^> weird
# make linux-base install quietly
#
# Boot loader configuration check needed
linux-base linux-base/disk-id-manual-boot-loader error
# Configuration files still contain deprecated device names
linux-base linux-base/disk-id-manual error
# Apply configuration changes to disk device IDs?
linux-base linux-base/disk-id-convert-plan-no-relabel boolean true
# Opdater diskenheds-id'er i systemkonfigurationen?
linux-base linux-base/disk-id-convert-auto boolean true
# Apply configuration changes to disk device IDs?
linux-base linux-base/disk-id-convert-plan boolean true
<h01ger> bwh, i wonder if your test fails as there were already .26 packages
installed...
<h01ger> ha! if /var/log/installer doesnt exist, its a fresh install. bingo
see attached patch
<h01ger> bwh, do you want a wishlist bug about this?
<bwh^> h01ger: Yes, file a wishlist bug, please
cheers,
Holger
