Niltze, all!> (picking up where I left off in previous thread: < http://marc.info/?l=reiserfs-devel&m=144040412406067&w=2 >
Initiating a new thread since Debian-Installer's partman-reiser4 seems to be partially functioning. All the previous Reiser4 issues have been mostly resolved. So I cloned partman-jfs udeb source into partman-reiser4 udeb (seems reiserfs udeb has gotten old) and I modified relevant scripts. However, I need to fine tune those modified scripts specifically for reiser4 in d-i *and* there is where I need your insight. Basically, option to format device media into Reiser4 is now available during relevant d-i phase: < https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CNfOQw1VEAEYBUk.png:large > Nevertheless, I get this gibberish dialog when selecting and proceeding (by pressing enter): < https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CNfOQ4kUcAAK0Tx.png:large > If I select continue at the "??? ???" gibberish dialog, d-i is apparently able to go to the Partition Settings phase: < https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CNfOQpWUYAA8tqY.png:large > Selecting "Done setting up the partition", notwithstanding, d-i returns to initial phase where raw virtual device has not even been initiated (with MBR) Cool thing is partman-reiser4 now makes the Reiser4-patched kernel automatically modprobe reiser4-modules: < https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CNfOQwxUwAEHh68.png:large > I have at d-i build/localudebs: [...] localudebs/mkreiser4-udeb_1.0.9-2_amd64.udeb localudebs/reiser4-modules-4.1.0-2-amd64-di_4.1.6-1_amd64.udeb localudebs/reiser4progs-udeb_1.0.9-2_amd64.udeb localudebs/partman-reiser4_1_all.udeb [...] and added at d-i build/pkg-lists/netboot/amd64.cfg: [...] fat-modules-${kernel:Version} ext4-modules-${kernel:Version} jfs-modules-${kernel:Version} reiser4-modules-${kernel:Version} mkreiser4-udeb reiser4progs-udeb partman-reiser4 [...] Note: without partman-reiser4 specified above, d-i will not show option to format in Reiser4 -- even if reiser4 UDEB is included under build/localudebs/ Advice welcomed in advance to make the gibberish dialog go away and to effectively allow d-i routine to integrate reiser4 fully so as to complete the front-end formatting proceduere.
