New question #76765 on installation-guide in ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/installation-guide/+question/76765
I am using the install documentation in appendix D.4 of the install guide on the 7.04 Beta DVD. After running debootstrap to install the base system from the DVD, there are very few devices in /dev. Specifically there are no hard disk devices hdX, sdX so the fstab/mount procedure that follows fails. Changing to the dev directory prior to the chroot and running MAKEDEV generic fixes the issue. I do not know if this is a documentation error or a debootstrap config error. Since I have broken this install three times "tweaking" it, I took very detailed notes on the procedure to cross install from another active Linux distro. I have re-writen the doc to show the work arround but do not know where to post it to. As I dont know how to link this to another bug report yet, I am also posting a separate bug on the "default" english locale not being installed by debootstrap either. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
