[Bug 810068] Re: kickstart iscsi option broken

[Tim Lawrence]

As I emailed to Colin earlier today this is because kickseed is omitting
the datatype part of the kickseed config when performing the conversion
from kickstart -> preseed.

eg

ks.cfg:

iscsi --ipaddr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --target=iqn.1992-08.com.xxxxx:xxxx
--port=3260

should be translated to:

d-i partman-iscsi/login/address string xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3260

but the "string" part is missing so preseed ignores it.


you can check this by dropping to a shell in the installer (alt+f2) and running 

  debconf-dumpdb|grep iscsi

which will show you which preseed commands succesfully made it into the
database. if address shows as (null) then it didnt work!

Bug description:
  Have a kickstart line like:

  ==
  iscsi --ipaddr=1.2.3.4 --port=3260 --target=iqn.1986-03.com.sun:my-iqn
  ==

  Still get a manual "iSCSI configuration actions" menu.
  When I select the "Log into ISCSI targets" menu, installer hangs. (purple screen, nothing happening).

  If I do not have the kickstart iscsi line, it does not hang and I'm
  able to specify the iscsi options manually.
