[Mageia-discuss] One Beta more install story

Re the udisk problem
+
+I see a little bit clearer: it looks as if udisk2
+
+- does not work when I chroot (as it happens) from a Mageia 1 system 
+into cauldron (beta1)
+
+- does work flawlessly when I boot into the cauldron system; but this 
+cauldron system is really a minimum system, no desktop, no gtk (I want 
+to use it to clarify a BuildRequires problem): it only gives me a 
+command-line console, chroot would be much more comfortable (having 
+filesystems mounted on both systems and having all the comfort of guis 
+for editing and consulting documents on the base system).
+
+I guess (can somebody confirm, please), that it must be possible to do 
+unrestricted urpmi with chroot (both DVD and remote repositories) and 
+that this is probably a plain bug: udisk2 does not work with chroot. I 
+had done a first try (before I came to this clear working hypothesis) 
+and had installed - udisk (udisk2? I do not remember) - to no avail. But 
+that had, trying what-if stuff, gone a little out of hand, and I now 
+started on a new minimum system.
+
+I just tried to do a chroot into my old Mageia 1 Alpha file-system - 
+which is a full install, with desktop and all and which runs OK: same 
+udisk error message there, hence probably not a problem specific to 
+minimum installs.
+
+All this is quite time-consuming, booting all over the place, remaking 
+systems, I am a little bit frustrated. But, before crying "bug" I should 
+still repeat the entire thing once more.
+
+How does this relate to bugzilla #4645 - do you want to have this 
+discussion there?
