Title:
U 12.10 LiveCD installer crashing during boot loader configuration on
NVMe storage( QEMU + NVMe +OVMF )
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Setup-
QEMU, NVMe, EDk2 OVMF with Ubuntu 12.4(x86_64 ) host.
Series of events in brief-
1.Started installation
2. Live CD Installer listed all available (including NVMe Namespace) devices for installation.
3.Selected NVMe Device for installation
4. NVMe NameSpace was accessible during partition creation/formatting, then copying filesystem stuff to ext4(the active Linux partition).
5. installer crashing during boot loader configuration.
OS installer created three partitions /dev/nvmen01p1, /dev/nvmen01p2 and /dev/nvmen01p3 on “nvmen01” 16Gb device.
Where nvmen01p1 is ESP partition( confirmed using 'gdisk') and grub-installer should write the boot loader to ESP partition, but when the grub-installer starts writing grub the installer crashed.
FYI- When I gone through syslog, i haven't seen any trace nvmen01p1(ESP). I can see only nvmen01p2(ext4) and nvmen01p3(swap)
No such installer crashing issue with IDE emulation ATA disk with the same setup i.e. with QEMU + OVMF.
I have successfully booted Ubuntu 12.10 using my nvme.efi driver.
Installation was done on ATA disk and then it was booted as NVMe
NameSpace.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Baban
