Issues with 2.1.0

[thijstriemstra]

I tried devel but things failed so I tried 2.1.0 but seeing similar errors there:

Any ideas @FooDeas?

Looks like issue nr 1 should be (when looking at this diff) be fixed by replacing /boot/ with /rootfs/boot/. Testing..

Update: that didn't fix it, testing with /tmp/bootfs/ prefix instead now..

Update 2: fixed with /tmp/bootfs/:

inputfile_sanitize /tmp/bootfs/raspberrypi-ua-netinst/config/installer-config-common.txt
source /tmp/bootfs/raspberrypi-ua-netinst/config/installer-config-common.txt

[FooDeas]

The logged errors from the second and third issue are caused by the kernel post install script. They came with the latest updates and can be ignored.

[thijstriemstra]

Did anything change when it comes to swap/memory because my rpi3 always freezes during installation of packages.. tried different rpi's, different sd-cards, nothing helps. Will try with 2.0.0 to see if that fixes it.

[FooDeas]

I tested my rpi3 without problems. Swap is not used on models with enough memory.

Hmm, here's my config:

I will try again with an empty package list, see if that works. There is also no log file written whatsoever..

[thijstriemstra]

I limited the custom packages to:

packages=git,unzip,nano

And this time the installer didn't hang... ugh. I'll now try installing the remaining packages from that list (in one command) and see if that hangs the RPI and if it's related to a particular package (update: installing packages 'manually' didn't hang the rpi..)

Update: logged in, and did apt-get update/upgrade and see that there are new updates for the package(s) that was hanging:

The following packages will be upgraded:
  libpam-modules libpam-modules-bin libpam-runtime libpam0g
4 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 723 kB of archives.

So it's quite possibly a packaging mistake on their end. Closing this.

[FooDeas]

That's not the reason. The upgrades come from the added repository to apt. The debootstrap step has no access to them. That's another improvement todo...
