Rootstock fails in Lucid when more than 2 packages are given as seed.

[Arvind Singh]

Rootstock version: rootstock-0.1.99.3
Here is my command line:
sudo ./rootstock --fqdn beagleboard --login ubuntu --password beagle --imagesize 4G --swapsize 512 --components "main,universe,multiverse" --seed openssh-server,build-essential,apache2,postgresql-server-dev-8.4,postgresql-contrib,sqlite3,libsqlite3-dev --dist lucid --serial ttyS2 --kernel-image http://rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/beagle/lucid/v2.6.32.11-l13/linux-image-2.6.32.11-l13_1.0lucid_armel.deb
Fails with:
/bin/installer: line 55: 157 Segmentation fault apt-get -y install openssh-server build-essential apache2 postgresql-server-dev-8.4 postgresql-contrib sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
E: Second stage build in Virtual Machine failed !
E: Please see the log to see what went wrong.

This succeeds if I just give 2 packages as seed.
This was and is all working in Jaunty without any issues.

thanks, can you please attach the log file too ?

[Arvind Singh (aaroh)]

Please find log attached.

Thanks.

[Arvind Singh (aaroh)]

Please find attached log for working command.

[Arvind Singh (aaroh)]

Sorry above log for this commnet. Thanks.

This worked ok:

sudo ./rootstock --fqdn beagleboard --login ubuntu --password beagle --imagesize 4G --swapsize 256 --components "main,universe,multiverse" --seed openssh-server,build-essential --dist lucid --serial ttyS2 --kernel-image http://rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/beagle/lucid/v2.6.32.11-l13/linux-image-2.6.32.11-l13_1.0lucid_armel.deb

As soon as I add one more package after build-essential it either hangs or crashes.

Please find the log for this attached.

Thanks again.

Hi Guys,

If somebody has any pointers on this, I would be more than happy to try.

Thanks.

So I reduced the swapsize and now it goes past apt but I get his error,

Setting up build-essential (11.4build1) ...

It seems like this bug# 570588

Hi Guys,

Finally sanity is back and my rootstock command is working similar to 9.04 without segmentation fault with more than 2 packages as seed,

In function: setup_kernel_image()
I commented out these lines,

#Hack dpkg -i fails, no postinstall script is run anyways, so lets just extract it.
    #KERNEL_IMAGE_CMD="dpkg -x /tmp/$KERNEL_IMG /"

    #KERNEL_IMG_REL=${KERNEL_IMG##*linux-image-}
    #KERNEL_IMG_REL=${KERNEL_IMG_REL/_*_armel.deb}
    #KERNEL_IMG_REL=${KERNEL_IMG_REL%%_*}

    #KERNEL_IMAGE_CREATE_INITRAMFS="update-initramfs -c -k $KERNEL_IMG_REL"

I think these are added in new release and were not there in Ubuntu 9.04.
These lines crash the installer script.
I dont need initrd and I can install the downloaded kernel after reboot from /tmp by myself by just adding dpkg -i command to /etc/rc.local and then reboot.

I hope this helps someone who is stuck, till this bug is properly fixed.
