[Bug 1572941] Re: s390-dasd module does not perform with preseed file

[Brian Murray]

Hello bugproxy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted s390-dasd into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/s390-dasd/0.0.36ubuntu1.1 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!

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Enable preseeding activation of dasd drives, and formating them
  with dasdfmt. Otherwise, unattended installation cannot be preseeded.

  [Test Case]

   * perform unattanded installation onto dasd drives:
   - single, unformatted
   - single, formatted
   - single, formatted, force reformat
   - multiple dasd drives

  [Regression Potential]

   * Interractive code path is unchanged, when no keys are preseeded.
  Code follows closely s390-zfcp preseed logic.

  [Other Info]
   
   * New preseed keys:

  d-i s390-dasd/dasd string 0.0.0200,0.0.0201
  d-i s390-dasd/auto_format boolean false
  (true, if dasd key used above)
  d-i s390-dasd/force_format boolean false

  
  == Comment: #1 - Ekaterina Teplova <KATE at de.ibm.com> - 2016-04-20 05:41:13 ==
  Installer version 20101020ubuntu431
  Started installation with preseed file. Installation stops at formatting step (s390-dasd preseed statement).

  Attaching syslog and hardware-summary.

  Could you please document in Release Notes the following restriction
  for Ubuntu16.04:

  "It is currently not possible to perform a fully unattended
  installation on DASD devices."
