Description (last modified by jdreed) (diff)
The failure is during the hardware detection step. check_missing_firmware ifdowns and ifups the interface, and we lose connectivity and anna freaks out. It's unclear if LP:804671 will fix this or not. We "fix" this in the PXE installer by scribbling over check_missing_firmware if it's a Vostro..

- Summary changed from Vostros lose video (and possibly everything?) on auto-upgrade to Vostros just plain suck
Apparently, the problem here is twofold. Having gotten video working, I now see that the failure is during the hardware detection step. Something the installer does is resetting the network device and we lose connectivity and anna freaks out. Can we preseed anything to prevent this from happening? We need hardware-detection for, say, disks.
/mit/jdreed/Public/syslog.vostro, if you care. The point at which /dev/sdb shows up is when I plugged in a USB stick to get the syslog. You can clearly see that anna retrieved everything fine and then barfed during hardware detection. This is a Realtek-based chipset if that's relevant.
