Package: installation-reports Christian, Sorry my submit was received
in a scrambled format.
I do not know why. (I might try taking out the Tabs if it
reoccurs.)Here is a resend of my original bug#606227 submission, with
my original detail for problem analysis and determination,and to see
if it worked ok, as my other submissions seem to be getting through
ok.I hope my resend of detail helps someone. It is meant to. I am new
to this and I am learning.
I will see and learn where I should post resends.
To either my original bug#606227 or reasigned bug#602421. I know not
both in future.

Comments/Problems:
I came across three squeeze-di-beta1 issues, and two wish list items.I
will report them in seperate reports.(Issue 1 of 3.)
Using graphical installer:Screen title: Configure the package
manager---The CD or DVD with the following label has been
scanned:Debian GNU/Linux squeeze-di-beta1_Squeeze_-Official Beta i386
DVD Binary-1 20101027-01:46If you wish to scan another CD or DVD,
please insert it now.Scan another CD or DVD? (Yes)---The CD or DVD
with the following label has been scanned:
If you wish to scan another CD or DVD, please insert it now.Scan
another CD or DVD? (No, as I only have two DVD's to install on
purpose.)---Note: Did you notice that the Binary-2 label was missing
on that last scan screen ? THIS is the issue.The Binary-2 iso image
md5sum was previously calculated and correct.QUESTION:How do I use the
'Debian Installer Main Menu' (di-mm) to check the squeeze-di-beta1
Binary-2 DVD on debian installer's integrity checker. This brings me
nicely to my 'Wish List Item, number 1.' for a separate report.
---However, the tty4 log screen shows to the last entry:

'Debian Installer-Main Menu', ok, earlier in this log.

http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s04.html#submit-bugHaving
read: Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide 5.4.1.2. How to investigate
and maybe solve issuesIf the CD-ROM fails... etc.
Using a newer/younger machine that downloaded and created the two,
Squeeze-di-Beta-1, DVD set.I seem to get a long loop, 100% cpu
utilisation status, for at least 38 minutes before I cancel the job
using :-Ubuntu Release 8.04 (hardy):~$ sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom0 | > head
-c `stat --format=%s
/home/ben/0-downloads/debian-squeeze-di-beta1-i386/debian-squeeze-di-beta1-i386-DVD-2.iso`
| > md5sumsudo: unable to resolve host ...
Note: The cutting and checksum verification are not processed on the
older target machine, so it does not prove much.I would like to check
the Binary-2 being read on the older target machine.I am beginning to
believe that this MAY be a digression, but it would be nice to
eradicate this option.
On yet another install, (about 9th) it still showed the same symptoms
of; 'No label after the scan of diskette DVD-2'.Diskette Binary-2 was
cut twice, once with Brasero, and once with K3b, Data verified ok,
after being cut.With both cuts, the modulus MD5SUM was correct;
1dd86a90e9ed91df1df01d23492f953e
debian-squeeze-di-beta1-i386-DVD-2.isoYes, the DVD was cut and
verified / checksummed on a different machine and drive; Pioneer
DVR-110 with updated firmware.
Thank you Christian, for any help forthcoming. Regards, McTech.
