** Description changed: Looks as though kickseed (0.48) has not been updated to reflect the recent changes to grub-installer (https://cia.vc/stats/project/grub- installer, 00:54 on Apr 15). The installer fails with "grub-installer: error: Preseeding of encrypted passwords changed! Check installation guide." It appears to me that kickseed's bootloader.sh handler is passing a boolean to 'grub-installer /password-crypted' rather than an MD5 checksum and is not setting 'grub- installer/password-again'. - Syslog attached - let me know if there's anything more you need. + TEST CASE: + + 1) Create a file on an HTTP server containing just the line + 'bootloader --md5pass $1$eURfjafX$MhF/cvWmFQWYXkCHpt1tM1' (that's an + MD5-crypted version of 'foo'). + + 2) Boot from the alternate or server install CD; press F6 at the boot + menu and add 'ks=URL' to the boot menu, where 'URL' is the URL to the + file you created in step 1. + + 3) Install as normal. On failure, the error described in the bug will + occur (displayed in the syslog or on Alt-F4); on success, the + installation will proceed normally. When the GRUB menu is displayed + after the first reboot (you may have to press Escape to get it to be + displayed), trying to edit a menu entry by pressing 'e' should require + the password 'foo'.
