Hi, I tried installation of gns on the Yeeloong, using the recent installation files located in: http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-metad/installer/daily/mipsel/loongson/netboot/
I tried the procedure with the files dated 17th, 18th and 19th Dec. from this daily repertory. My observations: 1/ d-i doesn't select the correct mirror ("archive.gnewsense.org") and display instead the mirror selection menu. Consequently, one has to enter the mirror string ("archive.gnewsense.org") and the directory string ("/gnewsense-metad/gnewsense") manually. 2/ The installation procedure hangs then later. Here the last lines of the /var/log/syslog file: Dec 19 09:26:33 main-menu[871]: INFO: Menu item 'partman-base' selected Dec 19 09:26:33 anna-install: Installing partman-auto-lvm Dec 19 09:26:33 anna[5987]: DEBUG: resolver (md-modules): package doesn't exist (ignored) Dec 19 09:26:33 anna[5987]: DEBUG: retrieving lvm2-udeb 2.02.39-7 Dec 19 09:26:35 anna[5987]: DEBUG: retrieving partman-auto-lvm 32 Dec 19 09:26:36 anna[5987]: DEBUG: retrieving partman-lvm 65 Dec 19 09:26:37 anna-install: Installing partman-auto-crypto Dec 19 09:26:37 anna[6104]: DEBUG: resolver (md-modules): package doesn't exist (ignored) Dec 19 09:26:37 anna[6104]: DEBUG: retrieving partman-auto-crypto 11 Dec 19 09:26:38 anna[6104]: DEBUG: retrieving partman-crypto 36 Dec 19 09:26:40 kernel: JFS: nTxBlock = 1896, nTxLock = 15170 Dec 19 09:26:40 kernel: SGI XFS with security attributes, large block/inode numbers, no debug enabled Dec 19 09:26:41 md-devices: mdadm: No arrays found in config file Dec 19 09:30:46 net/hw-detect.hotplug: Detected hotpluggable network interface eth0 Dec 19 09:30:46 net/hw-detect.hotplug: Detected hotpluggable network interface lo Dec 19 09:30:47 kernel: Adding 2843440k swap on /dev/hda5.
