Re: Updated installation images for Debian Ports 2019-11-22

Thank you for the help, I've re-downloaded and re-burned the image, I 
must have been using an older version because it does now sense the 
hardware.


Unfortunately, it now fails during the base system install, there seems 
to be something wrong with the whiptail package.  It doesn't give a 
specific error.  Installation media integrity check passes.

Yes, I'm aware of what this error means.


I'm using the ISO image from the pool, I'm installing from a CD to a
raw disk on a system that does not have Linux on it.

Can you list the CD contents of pool-alpha/main/l/linux?

I'm using it on the video output of the DS10L I'm trying to set it up on
(using aboot option 0), I can reboot and run aboot option 1 and copy it
from the terminal if you need a specific/complete listing.
An example is: srm-modules-5.2.0-2-alpha-generic-di_5.2.9-2_alpha.udeb.
The other contents are *-modules-5.2.0-2-alpha-generic-di_5.2.9-2_alpha.udeb.

If it lists 5.2.9-2, you are using the wrong image. I just again verified the
ISO from [1] and it definitely has 5.3.9-3 udebs in it.

But the ISO image contains the correct module packages. I just verified that 
again.

Are you sure about that? I just checked the CD image contents in pool-alpha/
main/l/linux/ and the udebs have the correct version number which is 5.3.9-3.

What kernel version does "uname -a" report? Did you boot your own custom kernel?

Alpha installer errors with a mismatch between installer kernel version

Hi!

I just uploaded updated installation images 2019-07-22 for the
following Debian Ports architectures [1]:

  * alpha
  * hppa
  * ia64
  * m68k
  * powerpc
  * ppc64
  * sparc64

debian-installer images for netboot and sh4 can be found in [2].

I have successfully tested the sparc64 image, but not the other images,
so the issue with the kernel module versions mismatch has been fixed.

The images for alpha and ia64 could have issues because of the missing
vim package [3]. Someone needs to have a look at vim on these two
architectures.
