Bug Description
I got a failure while performing a clean install with the Hardy Alpha 2 AMD64 Alternate Install CD.
I set up RAID 0 on a SATA drive (other drives not added yet), then set up LVM on md0, then created swap, root (75G), and home (~700G) partitions. Root and home were formatted with XFS.
Although the Gutsy installer would allow this to work (though I found other serious issues with XFS in Gutsy in this configuration, see Bug #175214), the new Hardy installer now fails while attempting to bootstrap base:
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/
...debootstrap: /usr/sbin/
Checked mount and saw
/dev/mapper/
So, XFS is not mounted noexec or nodev, but the test is nonetheless failing. 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.
Hardware:
Intel Core 2 X9650 cpu
Asus Maximus Formula Intel X38 mobo, used onboard sata...
I creat /boot ext3, / xfs, /home xfs, The installer report the same error message as above.
When I change the / from xfs to reiserfs, the installer will continue succesed.
