Package: debian-installer Version: 20190302-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I used https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/20190302-5/arm64/iso-cd/debian-testing-arm64-netinst.iso to install Debian Buster on a Pine A64 LTS board. My complete Debian installation is on an iSCSI target. So for booting I use U-Boot to start iPXE (snp.efi), which loads grubaa64.efi from the iSCSI target. As I am booting from an iSCSI target the reboot sequence must be: - unmount all drives - logoff iSCSI target - shutdown network Unfortunately when I tried to reboot the board started hanging in a loop trying to raise network interfaces. The fix was to add the option _netdev to all iSCSI mounts in /etc/fstab: UUID=.. / ext4 _netdev,errors=remount-ro 0 1 UUID=.. /boot ext2 _netdev,nofail,noatime,nodiratime 0 2 UUID=.. /boot/efi vfat _netdev,nofail 0 2 UUID=.. /home ext4 _netdev,nofail,noatime,nodiratime 0 2 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid 0 0 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 Please, change the installer scripts such that iSCSI partitions automatically receive the _netdev attribute in /etc/fstab.
