Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: migration-assistant
Please excuse any slight inaccuracies. I have now installed Feisty, and
I cannot remember the details exactly.
I attempted to install the Gutsy RC on a laptop that already had Edgy
installed. The disk is partitioned as follows:
/dev/sda3 - 12G (root)
/dev/sda1 - 1G (swap)
/dev/sda2 - 65G (/home)
I tried to do a full reinstall, formatting the root partition and
keeping /home. The install proceeds as usual until after all the
packages are installed, at which point the /home partition gets mounted
on /mnt/migrationassistant. There then appears to be a problem
unmounting this partition with an error (in /var/log/syslog) saying that
it cannot access /media/.hal-mtab. I am guessing that this causes the
installer to terminate prematurely. On rebooting I found that grub had
not been configured correctly.
I have just reinstalled Feisty and it appears that it has the same
problem except that the migration assistant happens before the package
install and after failing to unmount the partition, it gives the option
to continue or abort. I manually unmounted and continued, and the
install completed successfully.
