I was running into the same issue and finally by luck happened upon a set of slides that allowed me to automate this and there was an accompanying code repository with the full preseed file. https://github.com/uweplonus/adia- install/blob/master/initrd/preseed.cfg#L3 Many people suggest using `preseed/early_command umount /media/*` but this hasn't worked for quite some time due to the timing of when the preseed portion runs compared to the partitioning. The correct way to do this is to add the following anywhere in your preseed file that is referenced by the boot command. ```d-i partman/early_command string \ USBDEV=$(list-devices usb-partition | sed "s/\(.*\)./\1/");\ BOOTDEV=$(list-devices disk | grep -v "$USBDEV" | head -1);\ debconf-set partman-auto/disk $BOOTDEV;\ debconf-set grub-installer/bootdev $BOOTDEV; \ umount /media; ``` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1347726 Title: ubuntu14.04 installation hang on "The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1347726/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a really annoying bug. In my opinion there is no good really to mount /dev/sda1, the /boot partition from my previous install...

[Bug 1347726] Re: ubuntu14.04 installation hang on "The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions"
Preseed-based workarounds are insufficient when installing from a USB device onto a bare (unpartitioned) drive, as it's not possible for the preseed to actually load (the installer gets stuck "loading the CD-ROM" since the proper device has already been mounted on /media). mountmedia runs prior to to the preseed and picks the first suitable device.

[Bug 1347726] Re: ubuntu14.04 installation hang on The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions
This was reported on the forums too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215103 where directhex2 mentioned: I've tracked down the problem to a change in debian-installer-utils 1.98 Looking at the changelog (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/debian-installer-utils/+changelog) I see: [ Joey Hess ] * fetch-url: Try to mountmedia when getting a file, to support preseed via USB from netboot. That change adds a call to mountmedia (http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/debian-installer- utils.git/commit/?id=916a613577c5cd747d15b3d20f16b9518d7d54ea) That code will list the disk partitions (http://bazaar.launchpad.net /~ubuntu- branches/ubuntu/wily/mountmedia/wily/view/head:/mountmedia#L24). In my case that finds /dev/sda1 (my existing HD boot partition) and mounts that as /media. My CD is on /dev/sr0 is mounted as /cdrom. I have no other media I need to have mounted. The forum suggested a workaround: unmount /media in an early preseed command. You want to ignore failures when you run on a system where /media does not get mounted (blank HD). This worked for me: d-i preseed/early_command string umount /media || true What is the right fix here? I can't imagine how mountmedia picking a HD partition on the target disk and mounting it makes a lot of sense in the overwhelming majority of cases. Should it not be doing that? Should debian-installer-utils not use mountmedia? Should there be an installer option to skip it?
