Hi, I'm trying preseeded installation with the Jessie netinst CD ISO. Everything seems to work fine, except one prompt that still stalls until manual confirmation for the drive to erase/format/use for target installation.
My preseed file and the screenshot of the dailog prompt can be found at the following URL: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9-tBo8X88GLfllQZURQQ3NyMTkzUzlHRDFYc1hVeGlVZU5iQWpodFIzVkxwTkF6YXc5TGM Details: * Installation is being done inside a KVM instance on my laptop. * Network is provided by VDE (Virtual Distributed Ethernet) * Preseed file is being served via a python SimpleHTTPServer invocation * KVM instances can access both the host (hypervisor) and the internet KVM invocation: (single command line) kvm -drive file=debian-8.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso,media=cdrom -drive if=virtio,file=test-install.qcow2,media=disk -netdev vde,id=net0 -device virtio-net,mac=52:54:00:12:13:15,netdev=net0 -m 256 -boot once=d Here are the lines relevant to the partitioning portion from the preseed # Partitioning d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select biggest_free # Still prompts for confirmation even after specifying d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/vda # Also tried with /dev/sda (with KVM IDE interface emulation) # A total shot in the dark, obviously didn't work #d-i partman-auto/confirm boolean true d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true d-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true d-i partman/choose_partition select finish d-i partman/confirm boolean true d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true d-i partman-md/confirm boolean true d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true d-i partman/choose_partition select finish d-i partman/confirm boolean true d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true This singular prompt is the only hitch in the completely automated installation.
