If you can get the system up, you can turn it off with hdparm. We will
probably turn DMA_AUTO off in future.

Also, after the 0.50 release is out there, I have some structural changes I will be making that will simplify such things -- the stuff in utility.c is going to become libbusybox for example. -Erik -- Erik B.

CVS failure ?
Hi,
I have been trying to commit a file for the last past hour and it always fail
with that message :
Checking in boot-floppies/documentation/fr/dbootstrap.sgml;
/cvs/debian-boot/boot-floppies/documentation/fr/dbootstrap.sgml,v <--

Looks like a problem with the MTA.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks.

d-i: status and where to go from here
Today I built a floppy image, and after fighting with crummy floppy disks for an hour, got a good one and booted it. Network card config went fine, dns worked fine. I told it to continue downloading the rest of the installer, told it what mirror to use, and my 486 sat there for a good 5 minutes chewing on the debian archive (with no progress; we really need a progress display here), downloaded a great deal of stuff that it didn't need to (anna really needs to be smarter; in particular, downloading the kernel-image-udeb is a stunningly bad idea..), ate up 2.9 mb of the ramdisk, and eventually spat out a menu, which I will reproduce here: Here is the main menu of the Debian installer. 1. File retriever 2. Finish setting up the Debian installer 3. Manually configure network hardware 4. Configure a static network 5. Configure the network via DHCP 6. Configure network hardware 7. Execute a shell That's 3 more menu entires than it had when it booted, up, so it works! Hoo-ray! Well sorta. If you pick "execute a shell", its postinst crashes since it needs the freopen symbol, which is not in the reduced libc. It's time to confront the issue of needing a reduced libc to boot, and a larger one later on, I suppose. So there are a couple of places to go from here. * As soon as the abovementioned reduced libc problem is dealt with, things like partitioning software can actually begin to be run in the installer, which I hope will be useful to the people who have been working on that. * The system needs a great deal of polish. There are little things in cdebconf like the way it doesn't tell what menu item is default, and of course a slang or curses frontend would be flashier, but I'm really talking more about polishing the flow from one bit to another, and the gestalt. For example, when you boot up right now, you see a main menu like this: 1. Finish setting up the Debian installer 2. Manually configure network hardware 3. Configure a static network 4. Configure network hardware That is, well, a little confusing. It would be better to see: 1. Configure network hardware 2. Set up the network 3. Download the rest of the Debian installer Where picking 1 would give you a choice of manal or automatic hardware configuration, and picking 2 would give a choice between manual net config or dhcp. These are the things it's hard to think about and get right when a bunch of people are working on their own modules here and there, and much easier to see what's wrong when everything has finally come together into a complete system. * We're getting close to the point where I would like to get some wider testing of: * the kernel boot sequence (it fails on my toshiba laptop for example) * network card detection * downloading the rest of the installer * the general user interface flow So I hope to be able to post to -testing in the next couple of weeks (the idea being to get a little testing from a larger group before the woody boot floppies need to take priority). * There are still some major changes looming ahead. It seems we've decided to pivot_root from a cramfs initrd to a ramfs, and that has the potential to break everything again for a while. The image I booted off of can be found at http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/debian-installer/net-1440.img -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz files are inside anotehr data file, so when gzip gets to the end of the .tar.gz it sees more data and tries to keep going, but fails as it should. The point of failure is correct and tar handles the data correctly, BUT SIGCHLD from child_died() in tar exit()'s if there are errors so dpkg and dpkg-deb both just terminate as well. We need normall program flow to continue in dpkg and dpkg-deb if gzip dies because it has to do other stuff. To do this i could just change the exit() in child_died() to a return(), but im not sure, does that defeat the purpose of catching SIGCHLD ? Other things i want to do are move get_ar_headers from ar.c to utilities.c which means we can compile busybox with just dpkg or dpkg-deb but without ar, this save a couple of KB by eliminating ar_main. Can do a similar thing with deb_extract in dpkg_deb.c, by moving it to utilities and save another couple of KB, this would mean we could compile busybox with dpkg but not needing dpkg-deb or ar. I will wait till after 0.50 is released before committing any significant changes such as these. Glenn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I was using the compact image, because it was the only one I could get to download from your web page. (I tried the more obvious, like the 1.44 images, and never got a complete image file to download. The download would always quit before the whole image arrived.) They all use the same root filesystem (well, at least I only get the one from the main subdirectory) and are built differently. I suspect these may be the SCSI drivers that are built into the larger images, but compact is probably built with them as modules and the install file system doesn't have them.

Yes, with that discussion I think I understand this. Just like they emulate an ATAPI interface but the hardware is actually SCSI, so the Ethernet card is emulated as a specific hardare interface. I see the pcnet driver when I do an lsmod, so this should be a piece of cake when I get back to it. (I've done a major rewrite of the "styles" in the book, so I'm behind a day or two getting the rest of the text caught up.

That way we can disable it to save space if needed. woah woah woah if you want full dpkg support, use dpkg. all the dependency checking and stuff is *HARD* and we don't want to fork another dpkg implementation into busybox. udpkg has very specific and limited goals. I've tried to document some of these in the design doc in the source. It is *only* supposed to work within the prescribed limitations; it is not meant to be a replacement for dpkg at all. The size goal for udpkg was around 8k. I think we should keep that goal in mind. the whole idea of the udebs is to bootstrap the system into a usable state ASAP. Once you have access to one of the retrievers you can get a real dpkg.deb and install/use that... randolph -- Debian Developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.TauSq.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, if you can make an apt-able mirror, and we hack download() in common.sh, you can have a local mirror if you like.
