Bug#1010878: installation-reports: preseeding passwords doesn't work on mips64el under qemu
Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: josch@debian.org
Hi,
steps to reproduce:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 disk.qcow 4G
curl https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-mips64el/current/images/malta/netboot/initrd.gz > initrd.gz
curl https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-mips64el/current/images/malta/netboot/vmlinuz-5.10.0-13-5kc-malta > linux
/usr/bin/time -v qemu-system-mips64el -M malta -cpu 5KEc -nographic -no-reboot -m 1G -initrd initrd.gz -kernel linux -append 'auto-install/enable=true debconf/priority=critical preseed/url=http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/example-preseed.txt netcfg/get_hostname=hostname netcfg/get_domain=domain passwd/root-password=r00tme passwd/root-password-again=r00tme passwd/user-fullname=user passwd/username=user passwd/user-password=insecure passwd/user-password-again=insecure pkgsel/run_tasksel=false popularity-contest:popularity-contest/participate=false grub-installer/bootdev=/dev/sda --- console=ttyS0' -hda disk.qcow
This stops at the following screen:
[ (1*installer) 2 shell 3 shell 4- log ][ May 12 6:27 ]
┌────────────────┤ [!!] Set up users and passwords ├─────────────────┐
│ │
│ Please enter the same root password again to verify that you have │
│ typed it correctly. │
│ │
│ Re-enter password to verify: │
│ │
│ __________________________________________________________________ │
│ │
│ [ ] Show Password in Clear │
│ │
│ <Go Back> <Continue> │
│ │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
<Tab> moves; <Space> selects; <Enter> activates buttons
So for some reason passwd/root-password-again is ignored. Above recipe
works fine for other architectures and for some reason stops with above
prompt on mips64el. Why?
Thanks!
cheers, josch
