2012-12-02 02:42:22 Adam Conrad description Undecided if this should be fixed in flash-kernel-installer to be less broken when failing to create backups, or debian-installer to make the SD partition a bit (or a lot) larger. Probably d-i's fault, as our CD/preinstall images use a 72MB SD boot partition, and d-i appears to use something closer to 32MB. At any rate, current precise on omap3 fails like so, and it's only a matter of time before the omap4 initrd gets large enough to cause the same issue, I suspect: Aug 23 03:00:05 in-target: Using u-boot partition: /dev/mmcblk0p1 Aug 23 03:00:05 in-target: /usr/lib/u-boot/omap3_beagle/MLO is already installed in the boot partiti on. Aug 23 03:00:05 in-target: /usr/lib/u-boot/omap3_beagle/u-boot.bin is already installed in the boot partition. Aug 23 03:00:05 in-target: Creating backups of boot files ...

[ Regression Potential ] Very low, as I'm using the (exact) same partition size as the CD-ish media uses, which should satisfy boundary concerns, etc. If it boots and passes the test case, it's fine. [ Original Descrpition ] Undecided if this should be fixed in flash-kernel-installer to be less broken when failing to create backups, or debian-installer to make the SD partition a bit (or a lot) larger.
