- support /boot on own partition for aboot; closes: #116413

- Update Alpha model table
  * Gerhard Tonn
- s390 changes: fix alias handling, some initial documentation, added

- use mklibs.py on arm
- avoid scanning modules.tgz quite so many times during rootdisk build
- turn on support for read-only filesystem operation on arm
- correct acorn keymap generation in the presence of "include" statements
- contemporary 2.2.19 kernels are "vmlinuz"; try to keep up in kernel.sh
- tweak QWERTY keymap naming in language chooser a bit
- make language chooser keep trying until user picks something, rather
  than just rebooting the machine if it didn't work out the first time.
- enable Acorn partition support in libfdisk for arm
- arm documentation updates
- ship all-in-one Easy Install Archive for riscpc
- disable "variants" in language chooser; drop back to traditional method

  (required for DECstations)
  * Colin Walters
- fix a problem with the waitpid() used in dbootstrap when waiting for
  debootstrap to end

Good job of gathering data. Busybox wc does indeed have some severe
efficiency problems, it seems:

joey@silk:~>time busybox wc -c bigfile
1024 bigfile
1.63user 0.04system 0:01.67elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k

0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (113major+13minor)pagefaults 0swaps

This is a p2 400, I'm sure it's much worse on a pentium or 486.

According to strace, busybox wc -c reads in the whole file in 4096 byte
chunks. On the other hand, gnu wc -c just stats the thing, which is
obviously tons more efficient.

That does work, now. As I was playing around with it while it was
doing its thing, I saw that what was taking the time was not
downloading but other stuff.

During the Packages.gz downloading message, it's actually running
pkgdetails for each package which it's going to be downloading. On my
system, that routine was taking 10 to 30 seconds per package, so
that's why it was taking 15 minutes to download Packages.gz. Actually,
the download only took 20 seconds (DSL:-). So it would be a cool
enhancement to have a progress bar during the pkgdetail stuff for
those of us with 180 MHz machines.

Then, it was really quite surprising how long the validation process
was taking all by itself. (I stopped debootstrap purposely when it was
about 2/3 done and restarted). I did verify the packages were not
getting downloaded again (apologies due). Here's what was taking all
the time (which I thought without checking it out was download time):

Pkg  download approx.  md5sum   wc -c
--   ---   --   -
libc655 sec15 sec   1 min 19 sec
dpkg 18 sec5 sec25 sec

I have no idea why the sums and wc take so long on that machine in the
installer. Must be some effect of the reduced libraries. If I do the
same operations in a booted Linux system on that machine, they take
around a second or so. I also checked it in the installer system on my
iMac, and it's pretty much instant there too.

ls -l takes no time at all to come up with the same number as wc -c. 
But that's just on my machine, I'm not suggesting to change
it. The job does get done eventually.

Hello!

I've found a nice program that i think it'd be useful for the debian
installation system.
It's a ncurses interface to libparted, which has the same features than GNU
parted.

Check the RFP #120407, thanks!

We also need to think about its messages. It can source a file with
messages in different language, but may they be in UTF-8?

No. This seems to be a bug in bdftobogl. Adding a bit debug shows:

bdftobogl -b unifont-reduced.bdf > unifont-reduced.bgf
my_write(1, 0x120008846, 4)

Probably in bdftobogl.c,

  if (my_write(fd, font->index, index_size * sizeof(int *)))

should really be

  if (my_write(fd, font->index, index_size * sizeof(int)))

(the bogl author seems to be of the "long" = "make sure it's really 32
bit" fraction. Sigh.)

Well, it is documented in base.config(8), which is why I added the
ENVIRONMENT section to it (see top of that changelog). 

There are other, IMHO more interesting things one can do now 
with setting variables at the boot prompt, such as:

lilo: linux DEBIAN_FRONTEND=readline

Bug#120386: boot-floppies / lilo misconfigured

[Geier, Ralph]

Package: boot-floppy
Version: 3.0.17-2001-11-18

LILO is installed in the master boot record, even if I choose to use
the root partition.

I installed woody/compact with rescue/root floppy, Version 3.0.17-2001-11-18
over the network from a debian mirror.

README says:

You'll also have to have some system requirements satisfied:
[...]
  - an UTF8 locale if you want to enable language chooser

I don't think we can avoid it. reduce-font needs to run in a UTF-8 locale,
at least that's what Michael said.

Well, reduce-font succeeded. But I have never seen that bdftobogl
error... Could it be that you ran out of disk space?

Well, Alpha keyboards aren't really different from i386 keyboards
anywhere. Is there a method to express that without exchanging "i386"
with "i386 alpha" everywhere?

Well, if I change it in english.src, I get:

make[5]: Leaving directory

Hm, it seems one needs "en_IN UTF-8" or something in
/etc/locale.gen...  Can we avoid that? If not, we should give at least
a proper error message.

Then I get:

LC_CTYPE=en_IN.UTF-8 reduce-font /usr/src/unifont.bdf < all.utf > unifont-reduced.bdf
setlocale: en_IN.UTF-8
FYI: MB_CUR_MAX/MB_LEN_MAX: 6/16

make[4]: *** [unifont-reduced.bgf] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory

Oh well. I think I'm not in the mood to trace this any further :-/

You need to specify the image name before the kernel arguments.

It'll probably be 'linux', so you'd have to type

'linux sym53c8xx=safe:y'

But I don't think it'll be much help.

Perhaps you could start a shell from inside the installer (switch to the
second console using leftalt-f2), and do a 'cat /proc/pci'; this usually
helps to identify unknown PCI cards.

Andrew

Ps. I haven't tried an install for some time, so I don't know whether
the image name and the second console are still valid.

I believe this is because alpha has no items in the *.src files. Look at the
english.src. It contains items for all the other architectures in tags such
as:



I guess you need to add a line with arch="alpha". See README-Translators for
details on the rest of the fields.

When a working entry in english.src have been worked out, the rest of the
languages' *.src have to construct their variants of the entry.

Hi,

I'm trying to install Debian Linux on a Compaq Prosignia VS. I cannot find
any info on the Compaq Site on installing Linux in any flavor in this kind
of machine.

I get trough the boot proces pretty easily until a partition needs to be
made and the system finds out it cannot find the HDD.
Probably it doesn't recognize the SCSI-controller.

The only clue I can find inside the system is a chip with NCR printed on it.

I've tried to use the boot-argument for an NCR-based SCSI controller :
"sym53c8xx=safe:y"
However without any result. I get an error "Could not find kernel image:
sym53c8x.x=s"

Can anybody help me? In my opinion it's a shame to throw away this server
while it still is good enough for Linux.

If you need any additional information about the machine, let me know.

Best regards

Marcel Verdonk

Could you be sure to report a bug on this one with

busybox 0.60.2 released

[Erik Andersen]

As a heads up, I just released busybox 0.60.2 -- this is a minor
point release in the stable 0.60.x series that just wraps up the
last few months worth of bugfixes.  There should be no surprises, 
but (depending on how frozen we are), you may want to be cautious
anyways.  Whether it goes in or stays out, I leave up to you,

 -Erik
