Hello all,
For reasons that probably aren't especially good[1] I've been poking a bit today at using a preseeded debian-installer to get an image onto a LAVA system. It turns out to be mostly possible, with a job like this:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7526204/
and a preseed like this:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7526152/
but there is a hard coded timeout on boot_linaro_image of 5 minutes, which is not long enough for d-i to run. Oh well!
So I guess I have two questions really:
1) Would it be possible to override this timeout? I.e. add a timeout= parameter to boot_linaro_image?
2) Is there any sense in LAVA supporting d-i as a deployment method? I guess the dispatcher could even handle generating the preseed for you, at least mostly.
Cheers, mwh
[1] AFAICT there is no way to install an image onto the disk of a LAVA mustang and then boot that. There is surely a more direct fix for this immediate problem...
