Debian 6 Preseeding – Fix ‘Write Changes to Disks and Configure LVM?’ Prompt

debianlvmpreseed

I try to use an expert recipe configuring lvm for debian 6.0.5 netinstall. I don't want to be asked any questions, but it keeps asking me "Write the changes to disks and configure LVM?"

Here is part of my preseed.cfg:

d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
d-i partman-auto/method string lvm
d-i partman-auto/purge_lvm_from_device boolean true
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select boot-root
d-i partman-auto-lvm/new_vg_name string vg00
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string                         \
  boot-root ::                                            \
          128 50 128 ext2                                 \
                  $primary{ } $bootable{ }                \
                  method{ format } format{ }              \
                  use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext2 }    \
                  mountpoint{ /boot }                     \
          .                                               \
          10000 50 10000 ext4                             \
                  $defaultignore{ }                       \
                  $lvmok{ }                               \
                  lv_name{ root }                         \
                  method{ format }                        \
                  format{ }                               \
                  use_filesystem{ }                       \
                  filesystem{ ext4 }                      \
                  mountpoint{ / }                         \
         .                                                \
          2048 90 2048 linux-swap                         \
                  method{ swap } format{ }                \
          .                                               \
          10000 50 10000 ext4                             \
                  $defaultignore{ }                       \
                  $lvmok{ }                               \
                  lv_name{ var }                          \
                  method{ format }                        \
                  format{ }                               \
                  use_filesystem{ }                       \
                  filesystem{ ext4 }                      \
                  mountpoint{ /var }                      \
         .                                                
d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-md/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_write_changes_to_disks_and_configure_lvm boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition \
   select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk

This looks like a know problem, I am thinking of posts likes this, but the suggested solution seems not to work for me. Any hints?

Best Answer

At http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs04.html.en it says

d-i partman/choose_partition select finish

instead of

d-i partman/choose_partition \
  select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk

And also adds:

d-i partman-md/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
