Mount-points not honored

[Michael Vogt]

I did a install with custom partitioning and made a seperate /boot partition (had I didn't reformat). After the install the partition is not there on the installed system. I'll attach the espresso log and the fstab of the installed system.

The log of the install that requested a seperate /boot partition.

The created fstab of the installed system (with a missing /boot).

If there is anything I can do to help debugging, please let me know.

Thanks,
 Michael

I just tried to reproduce it and the parition is mounted into /target/boot (according to mount). But ls /target/boot dosn't show anything, especially not a "lost+found" dir or the files that should be there (because it was not reformated). When I mount the same partition into /mnt I see those files.

I had the same result yesterday evening, but wanted to double check in a second install.

Hi Michael,

As little as I know, this may be bug 47046: you must reformat system partitions (e.g. /, /boot, /usr, or /var) during installation. However, it would be easier to identify with a recent installation. Could you try Dapper final ?

For the record, I do not believe that this is bug 47046. I'd also like Michael to try with Dapper final if he has time, though.

Oh, actually, don't bother. I know what this is: it's bug 40395, fixed in ubiquity 0.99.71 (Flight CD 7).
