Package: debian-installer

Version: 8.1.0

 

Dear Maintainer,

 

I try to install debian 8.1 on a conga-QA3 machine. But the Installation
hangs.

The installation on a before used machine (conga-QA6) could be completed.

 

Here all available information of the failed installation:

 

Package: installation-reports

 

Boot method: net installation from USB-Stick

nst.iso

Date: 06/10/2015 06:00

 

Machine: conga-QA3 

Processor: Intel ATOM E3815

Memory: 2 GB RAM / 4 GB eMMC

Partitions: listing not possible because installation was not complete

 

Partitions definitions during installation

/dev/mmcblk0p1 1,5 GB Linux

/dev/mmcblk0p7 109 MB Linux /tmp

/dev/mmcblk0p8 1,2 GB Linux /home

 

Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): not possible because installation was
not complete

libdiscover2 (i386) wird konfiguriert

discover (i386) wird konfiguriert

discover (i386) installiert

Aufruf des Nach-Installation-Triggers libc-bin

Ausführen von dpkg

 

After this the system hangs (keyboard without reaction)

 

 

***

After the installation failed, I have installed the same image on a before
used machine.

 

Machine: conga-QA6

Processor: Intel ATOM E640

Memory: 2 GB RAM / 4 GB mSATA

 

This installation could be completed.

Bug#787794: lifimage fails to successfully boot on hppa

2015-06-16 Thread Helge Deller

In this case you could try to add to the kernel command line (at the IPL
prompt) one (or both) of:
hp_sdc.blacklist=yes
hp_sdc.no_hpsdc=1


Awesome! hp_sdc.no_hpsdc=1 does the trick. Thanks much for the great help!


Great, but I still think blacklisting the machine in the driver is the better 
way :-)

Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.35
Severity: important

Looking at the settings for the two different stanzas for imx53,
they're quite different for no good reason that I can see:

Machine: Freescale i.MX53 Quick Start Board
Kernel-Flavors: armmp
DTB-Id: imx53-qsb.dtb
DTB-Append-From: 3.12
Boot-DTB-Path: /boot/dtb
U-Boot-Kernel-Address: 0x70008000
U-Boot-Initrd-Address: 0x0
Boot-Kernel-Path: /boot/uImage
Boot-Initrd-Path: /boot/uInitrd
Required-Packages: u-boot-tools
Bootloader-Sets-Incorrect-Root: no

Machine: Freescale MX53 LOCO Board
Kernel-Flavors: armmp mx5
U-Boot-Kernel-Address: 0x70008000
U-Boot-Initrd-Address: 0x0
Boot-Kernel-Path: /boot/uImage
Boot-Initrd-Path: /boot/uInitrd
Required-Packages: u-boot-tools

The second one is the settings that will be used when *running* on a
non-DTB kernel, even when installing a newer DTB-using kernel. This is
exactly the setup that will happen when upgrading a machine from
Wheezy to Jessie, for example, and will lead to machines not being
bootable after the upgrade!

The obvious fix is to clone the settings from the first stanza here to
the second. It's also worth checking any *other* supported machine
types for the same bug. This also *really* needs to be back-ported to
stable!

Bug#787794: lifimage fails to successfully boot on hppa

2015-06-16 Thread ⁣ ⁣
Helge Deller del...@gmx.de:
 Hi Alex,

Hi Helge


 Anyway, please let me know if you're going to make no_hpsdc=1 parameter
 work some way.


 The debian installer allows you to set such values on the kernel command
 line:
 modulename.blacklist=yesor
 modulename.parametername=value

 In this case you could try to add to the kernel command line (at the IPL
 prompt) one (or both) of:
 hp_sdc.blacklist=yes
 hp_sdc.no_hpsdc=1


Awesome! hp_sdc.no_hpsdc=1 does the trick. Thanks much for the great help!

 How to cope with nonsense like security is more important than usability?

It's not nonsense.

Yes, if you boot off PXE, then it's fine if the network contains
preseeding data. After all, you booted off PXE, so either your network
is fine (and nothing to worry about) or it isn't (and then using a
preseeding file off the network isn't going to make matters much worse,
since you've already *booted* untrusted code).

But if you boot off CD-ROM or USB or some such? Then the situation is
much different. While I agree that having preseeding in that case can be
useful, I can also understand the POV that the system *defaulting* to
using such a preseed file is a bad idea.

Let's say you buy a new laptop, take it out of the packaging while on
the train home, pop in a USB stick with d-i on it, and boot. Somewhere
on the way home, your train waits in a train station for a few minutes,
during which time it picks up the wireless connection and does DHCP
there. Should it trust any preseeding data that it got from that
connection?

I don't think so, but currently this *does* happen.
