Package: s390-dasd Version: 0.0.20 Severity: important Not setting this RC since there are ugly and horrible (respectively) workarounds, but this is errata-level trouble at best, and should be fixed if possible.
ret = my_debconf_input ("medium", TEMPLATE_PREFIX "format", &ptr); As noted on irc, this question needs to be asked at at least high priority. Currently it's not possible to format a dasd in a default install, which is not good. Even less good is this crash that I get when running at medium priority in hercules. s390-dasd lists one available disk, 0.0.0120, and I select it. It asks if I want to format it, I say yes and it then crashes: 3888 read(7, "rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0\nnone /pro"..., 1024) = 171 3888 close(7) = 0 3888 munmap(0x77e91000, 4096) = 0 3888 lstat64("/sys/bus/ccw/drivers/dasd-fba", 0x7fa61258) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 3888 write(3, "SUBST s390-dasd/choose_select ch"..., 47) = 47 3888 read(0, "0\n", 4096) = 2 3888 write(3, "INPUT high s390-dasd/choose_sele"..., 35) = 35 3888 read(0, "0 question will be asked\n", 4096) = 25 3888 write(3, "GO\n", 3) = 3 3888 read(0, "0 ok\n", 4096) = 5 3888 write(3, "GET s390-dasd/choose_select\n", 28) = 28 3888 read(0, "0 0.0.0120\n", 4096) = 11 3888 write(3, "SUBST s390-dasd/format device 0."..., 39) = 39 3888 read(0, "0\n", 4096) = 2 3888 write(3, "SET s390-dasd/format false\n", 27) = 27 3888 read(0, "0 value set\n", 4096) = 12 3888 write(3, "INPUT medium s390-dasd/format\n", 30) = 30 3888 read(0, "0 question will be asked\n", 4096) = 25 3888 write(3, "GO\n", 3) = 3 3888 read(0, "0 ok\n", 4096) = 5 3888 write(3, "GET s390-dasd/format\n", 21) = 21 3888 read(0, "0 true\n", 4096) = 7 3888 open("/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0120", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 3888 munmap(0x77e93000, 4096) = 0 3888 exit_group(1) = ? There is no /dev/disk/ at that point. If I start partman (which fails with the disk unformatted), /dev/disk does get created. Not sure how; I tried running update-dev but that does not do it. I can then go back to s390-dasd and it sucessfully formats the disk this time. FWIW, the hercules disk image was freshly created before this install using "dasdinit hercules-hercules-web-server-d-i.img 3390-1 root 1200" and my hercules config is as follows: CPUSERIAL 002623 CPUMODEL 3090 MAINSIZE 256 CODEPAGE default XPNDSIZE 0 #CNSLPORT 3270 #HTTPPORT 8081 noauth userid password #HTTPROOT /usr/share/hercules/ NUMCPU 2 LOADPARM 0120....
