OK. Burned Hardy Alpha 2 AMD64 Alternate Install CD and ran a test install against a clean drive, following the recipe above. The new installer failed before I could even run this test, while attempting to bootstrap base...
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: ...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: 317: ...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: cannot create /target/test-dev-null/: No such device or address ...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: ...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: E: NOEXEC ...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: EF: Cannot install into target /target mounted with noexec or nodev Checked mount and saw /dev/mapper/mainvg-rootlv on /target type xfs (rw,ikeep,noquota) Would you like me to open a separate bug? I wonder if this is a more mundane installer regression, or if there's some new issue with XFS and special files. I'm not sure how common a choice XFS is for a root filesystem? Then again, there is no documentation to that effect, and no warnings in the installer one way or another. -- Serious problems with XFS immediatelly following clean install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
