Public bug reported: Today's hardy alternate CD install for PS3 fails to install due to a failure to configure the "initscripts" package.
The failure root cause is that it tries to mount spufs on /spu but that filesystem is not part of whatever comes with the kernel on that installer CD. I believe the problem is two fold here: - First, I suspect it might be a good idea to have the spufs module present and loaded on the installer kernel - Second, even without that, the initscripts package should not fail configuration if it can't mount spufs, there is nothing fatal about that especially for the distro install. Finally, I found it hard to "fix it up" from a console because after I hacked the postinst script to not attempt the mount, I could configure the package manually fine. But the installer GUI still fails, because it retries I suppose dpkg --configure <package> which stupidly -fails- if the package is already configured ! (it's a bit lame). Maybe the installer should also be made a bit more smart in that area. ** Affects: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- initscripts fails configure on ps3 install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221626 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
