2009-02-25 10:58:38 Timo Aaltonen description Binary package hint: debian-installer I've tried to netboot jaunty on a box that had regular partitions, but it fails because the in-memory partition table is not updated. Fdisk shows correct information. I'll attach a full debug log from the box shortly. Binary package hint: debian-installer I've tried to netboot jaunty on a box that had regular partitions, but partman fails because the in-memory partition table is not updated, and because of that it claims that '/dev/sda2 is not available'. Fdisk shows correct information. I'll attach a full debug log from the box shortly.

2009-02-26 19:58:44 Colin Watson debian-installer: statusexplanation This appears to be a udev bug: it's opening the old partition device in such a way that the device is considered busy and so fails to be removed and re-added. Dave Morley has tested an image built with http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commitdiff;h=3d3a0a709a38805259fe07240c3ca47a120dd5d6, and this appears to succeed.
