Package: simple-cdd Version: 0.3.11 Severity: normal
Given a fresh new directory, I simply $ mkdir my-simple-cdd-squeeze $ cd my-simple-cdd-squeeze $ simple-cdd ... It successfully creates an image: $ ls -l images/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 134M 2009-09-29 17:37 images/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso I then run it on a new blank image: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=qemu-test.hda bs=1M count=2048 $ kvm -hda qemu-test.hda -cdrom images/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso -boot d When the image boots I choose the normal "installer". After choosing language and keyboard layout, it complains that: No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the kernel version available in the archive. So I continue without modules. It then of course fails to detect network hardware (without the drivers for it), so I skip that too and move on to disk partitioning. It complains (with a red background) that "Logical Volume Manager not available". Hitting continue here moves on to the "Partition disks" screen. This screen has pre-selected a guessed arrangement for the disks. If I hit <No> I just get stuck in a loop, not being able to run the manual partitioner. Hitting <Yes> sends it off to create the partition and mkfs it, but it then fails to mount with a generic "The attempt to mount a filesystem with type ext3 in IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) at / failed." message. It gives no further information on why. At this point the installation can go no further. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages simple-cdd depends on: ii apt-utils 0.7.23.1 APT utility programs ii dctrl-tools 2.13.1 Command-line tools to process Debi ii debian-cd 3.1.2 Tools for building (Official) Debi ii debootstrap 1.0.15 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii lsb-release 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base version report ii python 2.5.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii reprepro 3.12.1-1 Debian package repository producer ii rsync 3.0.6-1 fast remote file copy program (lik ii wget 1.11.4-4 retrieves files from the web Versions of packages simple-cdd recommends: ii edos-debcheck 1.0-9 Check package dependencies (transi ii edos-distcheck [edos-debcheck 1.4.2-5 Checks whether dependencies of pac Versions of packages simple-cdd suggests: ii qemu 0.10.6-1 fast processor emulator -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
