Public bug reported:
Today's hardy alternate CD install for PS3 fails to install due to a
failure to configure the "initscripts" package.
The failure root cause is that it tries to mount spufs on /spu but that
filesystem is not part of whatever
comes with the kernel on that installer CD.
I believe the problem is two fold here:
- First, I suspect it might be a good idea to have the spufs module present
and loaded on the
installer kernel
- Second, even without that, the initscripts package should not fail
configuration if it can't mount spufs,
there is nothing fatal about that especially for the distro install.
Finally, I found it hard to "fix it up" from a console because after I hacked
the postinst script to not attempt
the mount, I could configure the package manually fine. But the installer GUI
still fails, because it retries
I suppose dpkg --configure <package> which stupidly -fails- if the package is
already configured ! (it's a
bit lame). Maybe the installer should also be made a bit more smart in that
area.
