Re: Thecus N2100 installation problem
* Jonas Gehring jonas.gehr...@boolsoft.org [2009-08-28 15:18]: However, I'd like to note that formatting the disks after setting the time and prior to the base system install didn't work for me: The installer returned to the main installation menu after detecting the disks. You're right. So the correct workaround is: When this error occurs, go to the menu and open a shell (the last but one entry in the menu). Then type: chroot /target apt-get install ntpdate ntpdate pool.ntp.org exit Now choose the menu entry Change debconf priority and choose high. Finally, choose Partition disks to format the disk again. Afterwards, the installer will continue automatically. This time, the installation will succeed. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I finally managed to setup the system by using your instructions. However, I'd like to note that formatting the disks after setting the time and prior to the base system install didn't work for me: The installer returned to the main installation menu after detecting the disks. Afterwards, this happened when selecting the disk partitioning tool as well as the base system installation. Instead, I simply re-installed the base system without formatting the root partition again.
