[Bug 1332187] Re: driver-injection-disk script needs to support disk and usb-partition devices

[Stéphane Graber]

Hello Kent, or anyone else affected,

Accepted hw-detect into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hw-
detect/1.95ubuntu2.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: hw-detect (Ubuntu Trusty)

Title:
  driver-injection-disk script needs to support disk and usb-partition
  devices

Status in “hw-detect” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “hw-detect” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  14.04 LTS (and older) does not support driver injection via micro deb
  (udeb) package when mounted from iLO virtual media.

  iLO does not present an OEMDRV device with a partition, therefore,
  the Ubuntu installer overlooks that media as being viable.  Instead of
  a usb-partition, the device is seen as a disk.  Running "list-devices
  disk" and then a blkid against that disk will reveal the OEMDRV label.

  Instead of just probing for usb-partitoin in list-devices, the driver-
  injection-disk script also needs to check the "disk" device via list-
  devices.

  I'll post a possible fix via bzr merge proposal shortly.

  This will need to go into 14.10 as well as an update in 14.04 LTS
