Package: debian-installer Version: AMD64 Testing October 7, 2019 Severity: normal Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer, Thank you very much for your efforts to make Debian available to so many people. I've been testing the installer. The main reason I'm writing is that I seem to have uncovered a (wait for ...) BUG! * What led up to the situation? * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? 1.) I burned 3 DVDs of the AMD64 Testing distribution dated October 7, 2019. 2.) I installed from them, specifying UEFI, no network connection, Xfce instead of Gnome, No printer and guided configuration of an encrypted logical volume. I used the default configuration of all available space, root encrypted swap encrypted boot not encrypted 3.) I rebooted * What was the outcome of this action? Volume group "<host name>-vg" not found Cannot process volume group logger-vg (The previous 2 lines were repeated about 30 times>) Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/mapper/<host name>--vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell! BusyBox v1.30.1.... (bla bla bla...) * What outcome did you expect instead? Xfce's login Thanks, Kingsley -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
