2008-04-28 11:25:13 Colin Watson description on Hardy RC amd64 alternate, when selecting "Reboot the system" from the rescue menu, it does not reboot, but throws me into the installer's main menu. From that menu it is not immediately clear what to do, since it does not have a reboot. "Abort installation" does fine, but it would be better to reboot straight away. On Hardy RC amd64 alternate, when selecting "Reboot the system" from the rescue menu, it does not reboot, but throws me into the installer's main menu. From that menu it is not immediately clear what to do, since it does not have a reboot. "Abort installation" does fine, but it would be better to reboot straight away. This is due to a change in rescue 1.12 that tried to db_subst a question that only exists for some of the options on the rescue menu. Checking its return code is sufficient. This has been done in rescue 1.14 in Debian, which will be synced into intrepid once it's open for business.

TEST CASE: On selecting "Reboot the system" from the rescue menu, it does not reboot, but throws me into the installer's main menu. From that menu it is not immediately clear what to do, since it does not have a reboot. "Abort installation" does fine, but it would be better to reboot straight away. (Reproducible on Hardy.) This is due to a change in rescue 1.12 that tried to db_subst a question that only exists for some of the options on the rescue menu. Checking its return code is sufficient. This has been done in rescue 1.14 in Debian, which will be synced into intrepid once it's open for business. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13983875/218549.diff is a patch suitable for hardy-proposed. Note that debian-installer needs to be uploaded afterwards for this to be testable. Possible regressions for this patch should be limited to other entries on the rescue menu not working, which can easily be verified.
