I agree, and more robust ppp handling has been on base-config's TODO list for a while already. Unfortunatly it is probably too late to fix this for woody. -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Assuming lang->locale has the right value, that would be fine. The
current base-config will handle this just fine, which is great, since
base-config is supposed to be frozen now.

Bug#127678: boot-floppies: unable to detect when ppp-connection went down
Package: boot-floppies Version: 3.0.18-2001-12-21 Severity: normal after having the base system installed and rebooted the system will continue with installing the "rest" of debian. I did this through a ppp-style install. Unfortunately the system was unable to detect that a ppp connection went down. I had to restart it manually through "pon". If this happens to a newby s/he will sweat blood to find out a) what went wrong and b) how to get the ppp connection back on. So I suggest either to give the system a means to find out whether the line's still up or to give the user a possibility to redial. I'm tagging this report as normal not as wishlist, since I think that the install process should be as bullet proof as possible and since I think that connection loss while in ppp is not such an uncommon thing. *t -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux maladers 2.2.20 #1 Sun Nov 4 15:44:23 EST 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#127677: boot-floppies: problems with reinstalling base-system
Package: boot-floppies Version: 3.0.18-2001-12-21 Severity: minor while trying to somehow find a basedebs.tgz I erroneously installed a powerpc basedebs.tgz on a i386 machine. Once I understood what went wrong I (after 4h of searching!) found a i386 basedebs.tgz and installed it. But somehow the install system was not able to replace the old/wrong installed basesystem with the new/correct one. It would keep the old one in place. So I had to manually "rm -R" everything away, otherwise the new basedebs.tgz would not be installed. *t -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux maladers 2.2.20 #1 Sun Nov 4 15:44:23 EST 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Woody: VP6 and High Point 370 problems
Hi, I'm looking to install Woody on my machine and I have made a few attempts to install using the udma100+reiserfs images provided in the frozen distro. For some reason while booting with floppy boot disks built using rawwrite and the provided images in images-1.44 it freezes after discovering the hard drives connected to my HP370. It stops right before it would normally ask for the root disk. Any ideas what might be wrong? Here are my systems stats: Dual PIII 1Ghz ABIT VP6 1GB of PC133 ram 3 drives on HP370 (1 - Quantum 60GB, 2 - Quantum 12GB, 3 - IBM 40GB) 1 drive on base controller (1 - Pioneer DVD) Adaptec 2910 Controller card (included with CD Burner) Any clues where I could go from here would be great.

/dev/console, /dev/tty (Re: Bug#126370: installer issues on "real" terminals)
Can someone please clear up what "/dev/console" and "/dev/tty" are? I think that "/dev/console" is always the foreground virtual console, and that "/dev/tty" is always the process's controlling terminal. Is that correct? If that's the case, or if it's something like that, then these are the device names that need to be used for the "base-config", right? Then the problem may arise where the user will switch virtual consoles and log in, and the program running on the first VT will refresh or redraw it's screen, and that output will appear on top of the user's current VT rather than on the first one. -- mailto: (Karl M.

If you grep the kernel source for that message, you'll find it...
I've seen the same message while using LVM/XFS. I don't think it's a
fatal error, just a warning. We'd have to ask the kernel experts
just exactly what it means.

I don't think it's devfs or your frame buffer. The reason it works
in your xterm is that the printk messages from the kernel are not
shown in the xterm, but are on the foreground vt when you are at the
console, unless you suppress them. ("setterm -msglevel 1" might do
it.)

I'm very disciplined. That's odd. I'm quite sure the version from the archive still has all its bits in the right place. I test those before releasing the packages, as a rule :-) So how do the ramdisks get built these days?

Which means no way to do DOS Nope, there's a script picking which you probably want to use. Pointless, if you ask me since only one gets installed in the ramdisk :-) I'd suggest to install pmac-fdisk as well which (surprisingly) handles DOS partition formats (AFAIR the non-Apple PowerPCs used that, and I initally thought the Apple PowerPCs used it as well, hence the name).
