** Attachment added: "fixed patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10786529/finish-install.hvconsole.patch
** Description changed: Binary package hint: finish-install Hypervisor virtual consoles (hvc/hvsi) aren't handled correctly by the installer, because debian-installer's stdin (used to find the type of console in use) is just /dev/console in this case. The result of this is that installs complete but effectively fail to boot because no getty is started on the proper console. - This is fixed in Debian; I am in the process of adjusting the fix for - Upstart and preparing an SRU in order that this class of systems will be - installable with Ubuntu 7.10. + This is fixed in Debian, and the fix including adjustment for Upstart + will be synced into hardy shortly. A patch suitable for gutsy-proposed + is in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/finish- + install/+bug/174689/comments/2. - This is hardware-specific. To reproduce, install on any system with a - suitable console. These are largely only available on certain - specialised powerpc systems. + TEST CASE: + This is hardware-specific. To reproduce, install on any system with a suitable console. These are largely only available on certain specialised powerpc systems. The proposed changes only take effect on suitable hardware, and come after the normal console setup path so cannot break it. I think there is very little potential for regressions except on hardware with this type of console (which is already broken). -- hvc/hvsi consoles not handled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174689 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
