[Bug 1743631] Re: Install with virtio disk fails due to unknown serial
I also ran into this failure, however within VMware workstation 12. I created a standard VM using a SCSI disk (as is recommended) and saw installation fail instantly after the partitioner step. Interestingly, reconfiguring the disk as "IDE" allowed installation to complete. Here is my subiquity log confirming the same lack of serial number issue: http://termbin.com/lqk4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743631 Title: Install with virtio disk fails due to unknown serial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/curtin/+bug/1743631/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1743631] Re: Install with virtio disk fails due to unknown serial
Yeah, I think it's pretty lame that virtio disks don't get a default serial. Agree we should fall back to path in this case for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743631 Title: Install with virtio disk fails due to unknown serial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/curtin/+bug/1743631/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1743631] Re: Install with virtio disk fails due to unknown serial
when installing with curtin, disks can be specified via the 'path' key or 'serial'. When specifying 'serial', curtin will attempt to locate the target disk by glob;ing in /dev/disk/by-id/*serial* to find the disk that matches the specified serial number. In this instance, the virtio disk was not provided with a serial number, probert appears to have provided a serial number of 'Unknown_Serial' which was not found in /dev/disk/by-id/ on the install source machine. subiquity likely needs to determine if it can use 'serial' or 'path' based on the probert information. Probert may need to omit serial value, or use a 'none' value instead of 'Unknown_Serial'. If we're feeling lucky, we could also file a qemu bug to see if upstream is interested in having virtio disks have a default serial number like IDE devices do (as well as network devices which get a default mac address). ** Also affects: curtin Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: curtin Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743631 Title: Install with virtio disk fails due to unknown serial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/curtin/+bug/1743631/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
