Colin, my apologies for my late response. I found some time to play with iSCSI again and used a fresh setup with final Ubuntu 9.10 server, without much issues. The problems i had appear to originate from the date Ubuntu 9.10 was still in RC-phase; even after upgrading them as the final came out. I

@Colin Watson: OK, just looked up the "etc/iscsi/iscsi.initramfs" file and it only shows 4 lines containing the details of my iSCSI target (target name, target IP, etc.). Also, the initramfs configuration does not show anything at all that might indicate instructions to the mkinitramfs command to

@Colin: I don't know if sub.mesa already has solved this, but I encountered just the same frustration and problems als he did :-) I think the most frustrating part is, that there is no documentation or any note in the installer regarding iSCSI on root installations, other than that it CAN and DOES

2009-12-02 Thread Colin Watson
By the way, the reason I'm asking these questions is that the installer is *already* supposed to set things up such that the initrd is generated with iSCSI support if the root filesystem is on iSCSI. (We don't do it by default because we have very aggressive boot time targets and every additional c

Could you tell me whether /etc/iscsi/iscsi.initramfs exists, and if so what it contains? Furthermore, could you attach /var/log/installer/syslog? ** Changed in: partman-iscsi (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: partman-iscsi (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Incomplete -- iSC

I tried this with 9.10 server amd64 final ISO, but the problems stay: = PROBLEM #1: no suitable initrd.img file is provided that allows for iSCSI-on-root booting, though it is possible to create one after installing 9.10 to a VM for example and create a custom initrd.img file, like i did.

Can you check whether this works in 9.10? This sounds a bit like something that might have been caused by bug 457767, and I'd like to find out what's still broken. -- iSCSI installation on root too complicated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447377 You received this bug notification because you a
