I received several reports about this recently. I'm surprised because this used to work just fine. I didn't have time to investigate, but I noticed the following partman errors in the syslog of those affected. Colin, do you know what this is about?

Is there a good way to solve this? In particular, is there a way for a postinst in /target to detect that it's run from within d-i? KiBi doesn't know a way. I guess a debconf prompt is the way to go? > PROBLEM: > When I shutdown the system and remove any (active) harddisk (from RAID1) the > system has problems to boot again. > Error message (from bootlog at serial console) Just for the record, this was not d-i related and there's another bug report about this. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
