thought so, thanks for the post.

so it seems that the bug is in d-i base-installer to add an UUID in
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume although the device is lvm
and thus unique anyway.

for your box do as root
echo "resume=/dev/mapper/gaia-swap_1" > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume

and regenerate initramfs with 
update-initramfs -u

Bug#573056: Busybox is compiled without NFS support

Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.10.2-2

The busybox from lenny does not support NFS (I must recompile the
package with CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS=y)

NFS filesystem.

i just dl'ed http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_alpha1/

Re: Bug#512740: Sparc disk labels broken on LDOM and Parallel installs

experimental but we plan to move it to unstable soon; I'm
version-closing it while I remember.)

In all honesty, the only reason I hadn't dropped this patch from Ubuntu
long ago was that I felt I'd have had to sit there and try to understand
it otherwise.  It definitely modified far more than it needed to in
order to get the job done, and as far as I know the original authors
never sent it upstream.

I'm not aware of any partman changes that were associated with this
change in Ubuntu.

Anyway, the patch non-trivially failed to apply on top of parted 2.2-1,
which forced the issue a bit, so I went and looked at it in more detail
than I had done previously, starting by stripping out non-essential
parts of the patch (renamed structures, added #defines, etc.).  It
turned out that there was nothing left!  The actual important part of
this change was applied upstream in 2.2, with this NEWS entry:

  sun: the version, sanity and nparts VTOC fields were ignored by libparted.
  Those fields are properly initialized now. The nparts (number of partitions)
  field is initialized to 8 (max. number of sun partitions) rather that to a
  real number of partitions. This solution is compatible with Linux kernel
  and Linux fdisk.

Thus I've dropped this patch from Ubuntu, with some relief, and we can
consider it fixed in Debian once parted 2.2-1 lands.

Cheers,

It was added *after* the alpha1 release.

It should be included in daily built images, but those are currently not 
getting built for powerpc. CC'ing the persons responsible for the daily 
builds.

[PATCH] Switch grub-installer to grub-probe

[Colin Watson]

I'd like to commit the following patch to make grub-installer use
grub-probe, as noted in a TODO comment, rather than the huge
hand-written pile of incomprehensible shell that's been there since time
immemorial.  Does anyone object to this?

Should work for GNU/Hurd, maybe GNU/kFreeBSD people (Cc-ed) need to
confirm that grub-probe works fine for them.

This looks like the best way to go specially because avoid duplicated work
between us and GRUB maintainers since two codes were being used for the same
thing.

IMO please go ahead.

grub-legacy also uses grub-probe.

grub  (0.97-42) unstable; urgency=high

   * Avoid passing UUIDs to Linux when "/dev/disk/by-uuid/${root_uuid}" does
 not exist
   * control (grub): Add a note in description pointing at GRUB 2.

Still doesn't work on my box afet removing the resume option from the

are you sure you booted from the updated initramfs?
update-initramfs might have updated another one you didn't use,
please double check.
you can specifiy it to update current used linux image
update-initramfs -u -k $( uname -r )

I only have one kernel, but have just tested again and it still doesn't
resume, simply starts normally (except fsck which is run as the
filesystem wasn't unmounted correctly).

Indeed, what he said.  grub-probe is in grub-common exactly so that both
grub-legacy and grub2 can use it, and note that there's a bit of code in
my patch to handle the different partition number offset.

BTW, the real reason I care about this beyond just code reduction is
that there are bugs that we can't really sanely fix until we stop
writing out a device.map file by default (for example, what happens when
you add a new disk?).  grub2 itself can function now without a
device.map - the things that still care are things like grub-installer,
and I'd like to get rid of those dependencies so that we can change
grub2 to stop writing device.map without breaking the installer.  After
this patch, grub-installer will no longer care if device.map is absent.

(grub-legacy, of course, will write out its own device.map because it
needs it.  That's up to it.)

indeed seems broken since at least from Lenny on,
you may want to test latest git, see latest commit:

indeed dup and the same
you can easily fix it, just write the swap lvm device to 
echo "/dev/mapper/-" > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume

(of course take care to use appropriate vg and lv values for your box

and regenerate initramfs with

I replied in a hurry and used capitals, but that wasn't the situation when I
typed /dev/sdb1 in the install process.

You might find a google search on that interesting.
I did.


Anyway, I think I have avenues now by which to sort things out.
Thanks for you kind intentions.
