Yes, there's no check yet for free space at the front of the partition.
If someone who knows partman well can spare some high-bandwidth
face-time here at debconf, I'd like to be able to hack something out for
this.

The above is a symptom of aboot-installer failing.  If aboot-installer
is able to run, it updates the aboot.conf config to match the installed
disk config and includes the ramdisk size setting.

How about simply requiring a very small dummy partition at the
beginning of the disk?

Bug#250978: Update: usb keyboard works with "noapic"

[Karl Hegbloom]

I found that USB works fine on that machine if I specify "noapic" on the
kernel command line.  Perhaps if there's room, you might mention this
one on the boot screens, or just in the installation manual.

Those strings sound like descriptions, which should not be displayed in
localised form if the locale is C. Details?

d-i appends a LANG setting to /etc/environment, is there some reason why
this doesn't affect root?

This sounds very broken to me. When I set LANG=C, I want C. Period.

mkvmlinuz instead of miboot (was Re: debian boot CDs & G5

Ok, we could get rid of quik-installer or yaboot-installer with that, but 
bootloaders have their features (being able to boot different kernels).

Do I understand the (oldworld) powerpc boot process correctly, that to make 
boot-disks for d-i, we would have to create a hfs-floppy (like the ones build 
for/with miboot) which now contains a vmlinux blessed by mkvmlinuz ?

Holger

locale for the root user

[Bill Allombert]

Hello Debian-installer team,

During the baseconfig part of the install, locales are set up,
while root has C locale by default (but the user account has 
correct locales).

This has some consequences:
1) Debian menu is translated, since update-menus was ran under
proper locales! This is very nice ! Thanks to everybody involved!

2) The debconf database might contain some non-7bit value 
(especially since some default value are translated by non-7bit string)
Unfortunately, if root rerun debconf, it will use C-locale and it
seems debconf under C locale does not handle well non-7bit string in
the database. I had problems with dexconf "Enter an indentifier for
your video card" which default in french to "carte vidéo générique".

3) If root rerun update-menus (by installing a package) under C locale,
user will louse the translation :(.

So:
a) should the root user be configured with proper locale by d-i ?
b) could some applications get the 'system language' somewhere
and use it when LANG=C ?

(before you ask, menu support per user translation when non-root users
rerun update-menus for themselves under their own locales)

Cheers,
-- 
Bill. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Imagine a large red swirl here.

Comments/Problems:
Kernel 2.4.26 boots with no noticeable issues, and correctly realizes that it's on a 
64 bit CPU.
The network hardware config screen tries to load ide-cd and sr_mod and both fail.
I opened the console and tried "modprobe cdrom" and modprobe gave this error:
Using /lib/modules/2.4.26-sparc64/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.o
ELF file [see above path] not for this architecture
Could not load the module: Success
(please forgive any typos, since the network was not working, I had to write all these 
messages down by hand)
I'm not familiar with linux (or anything else) on Sparc, but I do have plenty of 
debian experience on x86.  Perhaps the CD has the wrong version of modutils or 
something?
I am unable to test the Beta4 releases or anthing else for that matter, since the sid 
builds are the only ones which boot at all, due to the earlier SCSI CD driver problem 
(kernel panic).
please let me know if you have any more questions or stuff you want me to try
Thanks,
NATE

I could not find a working cd, and then i found this

No /dev/hda, i think that this is because a sata disk is plugged into a sata 
interface, not 
into an ide interface where my cdromplayer is plugged in.

Bug#244195: installation-reports

[Paul Verwayen]

Martin,
Today I used de Debian Installer of 20040526.
There's still no detection of the Promise 20378 SATA.
Not with the 2.4.26, and not with the 2.6 kernel.
I've got Debian running now by installing first to
an IDE(PATA) disk, and then install the 2.4.26-2 kernel
and loading the "sata_promise" module, and then
copy everything to the SATA disk.
I recently installed Fedora on the same machine and
the installer detected the controller.
So, what's missing, is the loading of the sata_promise
module.
Good luck with the installer! Let me know when you
think my controller gets detected, then I will try
again.
Gr.

Since the last beta of debian-installer was released, a large number
of changes related to SATA have been made.  In particular, we now ship
a 2.4.26 kernel with (some) SATA support.  We're currently preparing a
new test release of debian-installer (release candidate 1), and we'd
appreciate it if you could try our daily image and tell us whether
this works.  This will give us some time to make important changes if
so requires before rc1 is released.  You can find current images at
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/
We'd appreciate it if you could test this image and tell us if the issues
you mentioned in your bug report have been dealt with, and in particular
whether your SATA disks are recognized and work.  You can either boot
normally (by pressing enter or typing "linux") and will get a 2.4.26 kernel
with SATA, or you can type "linux26" and get a 2.6 kernel; both should
work, and we'd appreciate feedback about both of them.  Thanks

Thanks for checking.  Can you please send me the output of the
following two commands (either from Fedora or your new Debian
intallation):
  lspci
  lspci -n

Ideally, can you also boot into debian-installer again, and check
which (SATA related) modules have been loaded; just look at
/proc/modules   are sd_mod and sata (or libata or so) there?

I see nothing in the unstable version of console-data about bug #250548.
We recently added the udebs console-data 2002.12.04dbs-39 to testing,
that one claims to make a change:

  * Use 'us' keymap as the default for Netherlands in d-i.
Closes: #246725.

(Ya know, it might be a bit easier to follow if you would file one bug
report, and not three.)

The initrd on the CD was rebuilt on 20040522, so would have reached the
20040523 CD. The current sarge_d-i CDs have kbd-chooser 0.50 and
console-keymaps-* 2002.12.04dbs-39. As far as I can tell there are no
relevant changes in newer versions of kbd-chooser or console-data.

 39 languages currenly worked on (this includes English..:-))

2nd stage statistics

 15 complete languages (I ignored the few missing strings in
base-config, re-added by joeyh very
recently. They aren't of huge importance)
  3 nearly complete

3rd stage statistics (mostly things that output or possibly output
  but do not input users)


  1 complete language (/me proud...:-))
 10 nearly complete

 15 very partial


This DOES NOT mean that Debian Installer will be complete for
so-called "complete" languages. We also depend on non d-i-team
maintained packages.which have their own release schedule, or on
some NMU's such as recent shadow package NMU's (I messed up a bit with
these, forgetting to add some languages to the ALL_LINGUAS variable in
configure script)

The system doesn't recognize my drive

[Martin Sloan]

Hello-
when I first booted to the debian disk it recognized
the drive as a fat 32 disk and an ntfs. I
repartitioned it as a linux drive now the system won't
recognize it at all.  I tried with another drive and
the same thing happened.  I tried for a couple of days
to make it see it again as a linux drive now the
computer doesn't even acknowledge it's presence any
Ideas?

Bug#247101: Sarge d-i beta4 installation to Dual-Opteron PC

--- Martin Michlmayr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

According to Linux ALLOCATED DEVICES mainteained by John Cagle now:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/device-list/devices.txt
The descriptions about SCSI disk devices (0-15) states:  
   Partitions are handled in the same way as for IDE
   disks (see major number 3) except that the limit on
   partitions is 15.

I have installed two version 2.4 and 2.6. to /dev/hdb6, and 7 using image of
May 26. (Since I do a lot of testing I do not have enough partitions, and
needless to say 15 is not enough at all)Currently linux24 fails at lilo
installation. (I hate grub)  But through chroot and fixing lilo.conf manually,
I can complete 1st stage installation even though partition step I do not like
at all.  I can see you guys have done a good job.  The only anoying messages
are:
### 1. ###
Skipping Module usb-uhci. It's already loaded.
modprobe: Can't locate module ehci_hcd
Skipping ehci_hcd module; assuming it is compiled into the kernel.
### 2. ###
Starting hotplug subsystem:
   input
 [failed]   net
   pci
** can't synthesize pci hotplug events
 [failed]   usb
** can't synthesize root hub events
done

I think the 1st one is caused by miscommunication between kernel configurator
and usb module people.  The 2nd one: kernel configurator is too ambicious
(everybody should be!); thus causing this message.

I also tried 2.6 image.  linux26 installation simply dies producing (Only last
5 line I produces here)

Using HPET for base-timer
Using HPET for gettimeofday
Detected 1395.976 MHz processor.
Using hpet for high-res timesource
Calibrating delay loop...

This looks a familiar death message which I have encounted developing my image
using 2.6.6, but I cannot recall how I overcame.  I have my config file which
do not produce this message though

Thank you Martin for your reply.  Use of libata and recognizing SATA disk as
ide are mutually exclusive kernel options.  And I know I am minority now
because a lot of people are for ATA SCSI  w/o regard of the benefit of one tiny
but important difference: the maximum # of partitions allowed.

I am currently working on debian Live CD image for AMD64.  And i386 development
is great help to me.  And since I do a lot of testing using many image w/o
regard to other partitions.  I am desparate for large disk and many partitions.
 Some people have suggested me to use LVM, but I doubt if I can do independent
OS installation w/o regard to other partitions.  My less than 510 bytes boot
manager which enables booting from any bios supported boot device is essential
for testing a lot of images you guys or other OS people produces.  If you are
interested in, you can take a look at
http://www.e-aiyama.com/~toshi/Computer/Assembly/MultiBoot.html

Comments/Problems:

Why don't you ask if this was in expert mode? It was.

Died on trying to install pcimcia for 2.6.3, 
because there is no such package. Worked OK with 2.4.24-1-k7.
On slow connections 0% something or 1% something
messages are very alarming. Some of them stay there for really long.
The first time I tried to hit ESC repeatedly, but there was no response
for a long time, then a lot of escaped chars when the interuppt succede,
but not crash.
Once tried not on expert mode, too and got downloading not from a mirror,
which is 4 times slower on my cable model (local net is much faster).
Perhaps gueassing mirror based on country could be useful.

Thank you very much!

Now I try to install from the same floppies on an old pentium 120, 32M RAM
from a network, etc. This was just an excercise. If you do not hear from me, 
the install on P120 went with no further problems.

Bug#251115: kbd-chooser: Wrong default map for nl_NL

[Frans Pop]

Package: kbd-chooser
Version: 0.50

With build 20040526 (i386 netinst CD), when I choose language nl_NL, I 
suddenly get 'Belgisch (be-latin1)' as the default keymap.
This is very, very wrong: no-one has a Belgian keyboard in the Netherlands!

20040522 had 'Dutch' as default; I wonder how this got changed.

Note: This may be different in SVN or sid_d-i, as I requested in #250548 to 
have 'US American' as default for Dutch and I got a reply the change had been 
made in the console-data repository.

I would very much appreciate it if this could be fixed for RC1!

It would be nice, if somebody with write access on the host
could create a four line HTML page with this information
instead of the Python exception backtrace :-)  Thanks for
the information anyway.

Cheers, WB

ddetect override disparity

[Debian Installer]

There are disparities between your recently accepted upload and the
override file for the following file(s):

hw-detect-full_0.99_all.udeb: package says priority is standard, override says 
optional.

Either the package or the override file is incorrect.  If you think
the override is correct and the package wrong please fix the package
so that this disparity is fixed in the next upload.  If you feel the
override is incorrect then please reply to this mail and explain why.

[NB: this is an automatically generated mail; if you replied to one
like it before and have not received a response yet, please ignore
this mail.  Your reply needs to be processed by a human and will be in
due course, but until then the installer will send these automated
mails; sorry.]

Package: discover1, ddetect
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i

On a system installed with d-i and using the 2.6 kernel, that has only
scsi hard drives, and an ide CD, the CD drive does not work when debian
is booted (to base-config). Problem seems to be that ide-generic is not
loaded by either discover, the initrd, or /etc/modules, and it's not
pulled in by the ide-cd module, which is loaded.

I'm told that this works on 2.4, which is suprising. If we could find
out where the ide-detect module gets loaded on such a system under 2.4,
we could probably add ide-generic in the same place.

I've been running XFS on alphas for years with no problems (at least,
not disproportionate to the problems XFS has had elsewhere over the
years ;).  I'm working on the reiserfs part, though.

I don't see any floppy images there. I did try to install using the
sarge-i386-netinst.iso file from today, and it worked very well. Very
cool! :)

You read some discussions about code which hasn't even made it into
unstable, let alone d-i, yet. The -power4 target isn't currently safe
for G5 systems.

Bug#240932: INSTALL REPORT

[William Lentz]

Hi,

I tried:
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/i386/20040524/sarge-i3
86-netinst.iso 
and it appears to have the same problem.  As soon as the IDE driver
stuff is loaded I get the following error:
There was a problem reading data from the CDROM.  Please make sure it
is in the drive.. etc.

Thanks,
Will

Bug#251089: debian-installer: installer hangs on dual G5 while loading module for inexistant floppy

[Michal]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: important


Using:

http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/daily/powerpc/20040525/sarge-powerpc-netinst.iso

to install sarge on a dual G5 with 'install-(safe-)power4' initially
works fine, but then hangs during the stage entitled 'Detecting
network hardware' at the step of:

   "Loading module 'floppy' for 'Linux Floppy'..."

After that, the machine seems to be locked solid. (This sounds like it
is trying to install modules which are inappropriate for G5s but
appropriate for other power4 machines - a problem which I thought had

"Detecting Hardware" process bar at 95% with the text "Skipping unavailable
module 'ide-floppy' for 'Linux IDE floppy'".  Where can I find out how to
collect error or log messages?

Steps to replicate:
+ Download
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/beta2/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
and write to a CD.

+ Boot from CD in default mode.  Hit enter twice to select default language
and keyboard.

+ Installer progresses through two progress bars, "Detecting hardware" and
"Loading components of the Debian installer".  And on the third, "Detecting
hardware", it freezes.  (I waited an hour.)  I expect it not to freeze but
instead to continue with the installation without a floppy drive.

Hardware:
I'm installing on a Dell Latitude D600, which has no floppy drive.
I also noticed a related successful install,
http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2003/debian-testing-200311/msg00105.html

Additional info:
When I install in expert mode, I don't get any error when the system freezes.
But I do get a few potentially relevant errors before then.  For example, I
get a errors saying that "modprobe -v floppy" failed and "modprobe -v ide-disk"
failed.

When I install in net mode (boot the net image instead of linux or expert),
I don't see this problem.  The installer never freezes and I can install
the base system.

See below for output from "uname -a", "dpkg -s libc6 | grep '^Version'",
lspci, and dmesg.  The output below was collected *after* the successful
install, so it may not represent the software that froze.  It does, however,
reflect that same hardware that froze.

Yes, maybe. At least it should be documented.

Then I don't think Joey's CD image would have helped you.

The default now is be-latin1, you should probably change it to
be2-latin1 then.

I can't try the install on the same machine, since it's in use.
I'm running the may 26 build on my laptop, and that still has some short
blank screens between the cd drive detection and loading of installation
modules. maybe it's just due to slowness of the cpu (this laptop is a
pentium 233) or cd drive that it takes a while?

I removed the partition table on the laptop, and now the disk
partitioner deals with missing partition tables without a problem.

I meant that I only noticed this after the install was done, and I
seemed to remember being asked the question during an earlier install.
Probably a netboot vs. businesscard image thing.

The installation on my laptop went flawlessly now, nice work.
I have some more comments on the translation. I'll send those to the
dutch list.

Have you been able to use the CD drive on a running Linux system
before? If so, do you know which module it uses?

Hi, guys!

I tried to install Sarge on my notebook (Dell Inspiron 8000). I used the 
NetInstaller (beta 2 and beta 3) BusinessCard (beta 3). The installer 
freezes in every version at the same point ("Skipping unavailable module 
'ide-floppy' for 'Linux IDE-floppy'"). I tried the installation with 
de_AT/German (no deadkeys) and en_US/American English for 
language/keymap, the result was the same. At the moment, I'm using 
Knoppix 3.3 (thats also where the lspci output is from) and would really 
like to upgrade to a real Debian system as soon as possible

I also know that the installer freezes at the same point on Gericom 
Blockbuster notebooks (but i forgot which version i tried).

It's due to the licensing problem with miboot. I guess you'll have to
use BootX or something.

In this case, no reiserfs modules should be provided for alpha.

Well, yes, I can try that, but not right now. Hopefully I can do it 
within 2 weeks.

I'm sure that you are aware of that when I failed, I was trying to start 
the installation from floppies, not from CD. Later on I tried a CD image 
and managed to get through, and that was either sarge_d-i/beta-3 or 
another one (recommended by www.debian.org). I use GRUB now, didn't try 
LILO.

There is no such package; the modules are included in the 2.6 kernel
package. This bug was fixed in base-installer 0.068.

I cannot even remember now.  I had trouble finding documentation
and had little experience with this kind of configuration
on Debian too.  The problem is solved with some of the more
recently included examples in /etc/dhclient.conf, where I use
this (I deleted most of the comments from the file) which is
currently working:

#alias {
#  interface "eth0";
#  fixed-address 192.5.5.213;
#  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.255;
#}

alias {
interface "eth0";
fixed-address 192.168.1.66;
}

lease {
interface "eth0";
fixed-address 192.168.1.66;
}

Hmmm, I _do_ like the hardware detection despite the long
booting time.  Thanks for the suggestion! :-) I wasn't aware
of discover until now.

Yes.  I'm currently studying for my exams, but this summer I'll
have time for your suggestions.  I'll let you know how it turns
out when the time comes.

Currently everything seems rather stable, even though I'm running
unstable!  I've done a couple of "apt-get dist-upgrade" and several
"apt-get update" & "apt-get upgrade" without problems including
3 kernel upgrades, from 2.24 to 2.26 -- I'm actually very impressed
with this:  I haven't been able to do this so well in the past.
Over time I've noticed how support for Thinkpads have improved
including hardware detection:  It is a great computer.  And greater
still with Debian.

The most serious problem I've had, has been bloat of packages; my
system is currently weighing in about 3.4GiB with 515 packages
counting "dpkg --get-selections": Not bad, not bad at all!
N.B. I don't use Gnome, KDE or anything else resembling them
but the minimalistic window-managers 9wm and lwm.  It should
be noted that part of this "problem" stems from the fact that
I have a very strong tendency to just install packages to try
something out, new software, a new editor, a new programming
language or what ever my heart desires:  Debian with apt-get
and 12000+ packages available makes this extremely easy!

Ad summa:  I haven't encountered any serious problems in a very
long time.  Thanks!

I'll report back after trying the sarge installer from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/
out this summer.

The machine is in production now, so for now I cannot test that,
sorry. Maybe I'll have to install a couple of servers with the same
configuration, but that won't happen before several weeks.

Bug#251066: Sarge Beta 4 DHCP issues

[John Carmichael]

Package: debian-installer
I downloaded the business card ISO of the beta 4 installer.  Aside from 
the mirror issues I posted before (Bug# 251052), I got things to 
install.  I chose the Broadband package during tasksel on 
post-installation setup.  With this package installed on two different 
computers I experienced the same problem.  I also posted this issue to 
linuxquestions.  Below is the post 
(http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&postid=955268#post955268).

Resolv.conf Overwritten
So I used the business card version of the beta 4 installer for debian. 
The install is happy, and I choose dhclient during the tasksel part of 
things. I have two systems with this same issue. One is set for static 
IP the other dynamic. Each gives me resolving host name issues. I add 
the appropriate lines into resolv.conf but it is overwritten on each 
restart.

I have seen this issue on other lists and tried tweaking dhclient-script 
and dhclient.conf as suggested. No luck. I even tried the solution of 
stripping write access to the file from everyone. On restart the 
permissions have been changed so that root has write access again and 
the file has been overwritten again.

Anyone less confused than me on this one?
JC
--edit--
If it helps, I just did a reinstall and this time did not select the 
Broadband package in tasksel. Everything works wonderfully now. Guess it 
is something in there. So now everything works, but knowing what was the 
issue is still nice.

ViewCVS uses anonymous SVN access and that has been disabled because of 
locking problems a couple of weeks ago.

The reasons are somewhere in the list's archives.

Re: ViewCVS (http://svn.debian.org/viewcvs/d-i/) broken

[John Carmichael]

I've never used ViewCVS with subversion, but I did run into similar 
sounding error messages when using subversion on a recent project.  The 
issues were related to lock files which subversion creates.  Sometimes 
they got stuck and I would have to run svn admin recover.  This removed 
the locks, but I then had to change the permissions on that folder so 
that svn could continue to run.  Weird, but not overly complex.  In your 
subversion folder you should have a locks folder.  Try changing the 
permissions on that so that what ever user ViewCVS is running as has 
access.  Just a guess.

AFAIK, nobody uses be-latin1, except, as I found out this week, on
RedHat, where be2-latin1 has been merged into be-latin1, and where 'our'
be-latin1 doesn't even exist anymore. Perhaps that's not a bad idea.

The difference between be2-latin1 and be-latin1 is that be2-latin1
actually gives the characters as they appear on the keyboard, while
be-latin1 does nothing more than an approximation. This has bitten so
many people, that it's one of the oldest entries in the be.comp.os.linux
FAQ...

There aren't really many things one could disagree with; I merely

In generally the consensus seems that Reiser should be avoided on
alpha (at least on rh-axp and debian-alpha), for any partition.

I am afraid this is not possible as that machine in question is back
into production, sorry. Since all our machines run Debian now, I don't
know if we can try in the near future.

Comments/Problems:

Hello. 

I´m trying the net installation of sarge in a Shuttle XPC Pentium4. 
The first part is well. It´s install the basic system and reboot. 
but in this moment this new kernel is rebooting all the times. 

I´m been trying woody and then an upgrade to sarge with kernel2.4.22 and then the 
machine is rebooting alone each time. I think it´s a kernel problem but knoppix works 
well and fedora too. 

I hope you to have enough expanations and time to have a look this problem. 

If you need more information, send me a mail.

Hi Nathan, do you think you could get a daily image from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ and see which of
the issues you've reported originally have been dealt with.

Does it find it now?  Does 2.4 recognize the drive?

Hmm, this is probably still there.  Can you confirm?  I'm not sure if
swap partitiones > 500 megs are supported in Linux these days.

Can you check if these problems still exist?

This means that partman-auto needs a recipe for alpha to create these
partitions.  Also, aboot-installer should have better finish.d checks
(vorlon added some, but I'm not sure if they check all of the above).

vorlon, has this been fixed?

Sam, can you give the image at
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ a go and tell us
how well that works.  We're currently preparing for a new release
(rc1) and it would be good to have a successful report on alpha.
(vorlon is away from his Alpha because he's at DebConf).

Bug#248075: ethernet module install

[Martin Michlmayr]

* Greg Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2004-05-08 19:34]:
> Root Device: SATA

Your installation report mentioned that you're using a machine with SATA
disks.  Since the last beta of debian-installer was released, a large
number of changes related to SATA have been made.  In particular, we now
ship a 2.4.26 kernel with (some) SATA support.  We're currently preparing a
new test release of debian-installer (release candidate 1), and we'd
appreciate it if you could try our daily image and tell us whether this
works.  This will give us some time to make important changes if so
requires before rc1 is released.  You can find current images at
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/

We'd appreciate it if you could test this image and tell us if the issues
you mentioned in your bug report have been dealt with, and in particular
whether your SATA disks are recognized and work.  You can either boot
normally (by pressing enter or typing "linux") and will get a 2.4.26 kernel
with SATA, or you can type "linux26" and get a 2.6 kernel; both should
work, and we'd appreciate feedback about both of them.  Thanks

Bug#247101: Sarge d-i beta4 installation to Dual-Opteron PC

> ***Please make libata as an option in the coming new kernel image

Is SCSI limited to 15 partitions?  I thought SATA is usually done
witth libata, and hence SCSI emulation.  What are the alternatives?

> 1. Warning only 896MB will be used.
>Use a HIGHMEM enabled kernel.
>896MB LOWMEM available.

This doesn't matter for the installation; the installer will install a
proper kernel with highmem support (at least it will if you use the
full CD, not the netinst image).

> 2. Can recognize 2 CPUs, but refuse to use it.
>   *** Recompile kernel

Same here.  It should recognize SMP and install the -smp kernel.

Can you try a daily image from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ and see if any of
the issues you've reported there have been fixed.  In particular, can
you look how well SATA is supported (both with 24 and 2.6, ie boot
with linux and linux26).  (Although it does use libata afaik).

It is a bit unusual, but it just depends on where the drives are

Wireless support is much better now, but I don't know if your card is
supported.

The problem is that the library we use (libparted) doesn't support
this yet.  Something has to integrate libntfs into libparted, then we
can support it.

If there is free space, there should be a default 3rd choise saying
something like 'use free space'.

Can you check if this is still there?

Is this still there?

Can you try the new image?  You can now also specify devices in the
/dev/hdaX nstyle.

You can now boot debian-installer with linux26 and you'll get a 2.6
kernel.

You can choose between GRUB and LILO.

Hmm, not sure.

Do you know if a wishlist bug on apt has been filed for this?

Windows (and other Linux) installations are now detected
automatically.

root on LVM is currently not supported, but can you try a new image
from http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ because some
other LVM changes were made (root on LVM still won't work, though, so
don't even try that... this will be fixed in a few weeks, though).

Can you give any specific examples, and specific suggestions how to

Is there even a net option?  Can you get a new image from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ and see if this
still has this problem?

This is done now.

Better names are used now.

I guess this is a feature rather than a bug... creating an account is
what most people should do.  If you run the installer at a lower
debconf priority, you can choose.

I'm fairly sure this has been fixed now.

Bug#232527: Installation report - partconf & grub & lilo problem

I think this has been fixed.  Can you confirm, and possible close this
bug report?

Bug#232116: success, but a partitioning problem (and some Dutch translation remarks)

Can you please try a current image from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ and see if this is
still the case?  Is there no progress bar on the screen at all?

I suppose you won't be able to reproduce this, or do you have a spare
disk on which you can remove all partitions?

Can you see if it still takes so long?  This might be a bug in GRUB
(rather than in the installer).  Can you try the new image and let me
know if this is still there?

I'm pretty sure it's fixed now.

Why would it ask after install?  If you use a netboot image (without
any debs), it will ask during the installation; but normally it will
just take the .debs from your CD and then default to the distribution
those .debs are from.

That's good to hear.  Do you have time to test new images from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ and report whether
there are any regressions or new problems?

Can you try a new image from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ and see how well
that works.  It should definitely install a kernel and boot loader.

framebuffer on i386 usually works, but there is an option to turn it
off.  Just boot with:
  linux debian-installer/framebuffer=false
