Re: Review of arcboot-installer template wanted

[Christian Perrier]

Quoting Alastair McKinstry ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
> Hi,
> 
> I'm planning to include a patch to arcboot-installer,
> for #241178, which posts a reminder note about prom variables.
> (Assuming joeyh says ok).

It seems to me this note is already hereand translated by most of us..:-)

Template: arcboot-installer/prom-variables
Type: note
_Description: Setting PROM variables for Arcboot
 If this is the first Linux installation on this machine, or if the
 hard drives have been repartitioned, some variables need to be set
 in the PROM before the system is able to boot normally.
 .
 At the end of this installation stage, the system will reboot.  After this,
 enter the command monitor from the "Stop for Maintenance" option,
 and enter the following commands:
 .
setenv SystemPartition scsi(${BOOTBUS})disk(${BOOTID})rdisk(${BOOTLUN})parti
tion(8)
setenv OSLoadPartition scsi(${ROOTBUS})disk(${ROOTID})rdisk(${ROOTLUN})parti
tion(${ROOTPART})
setenv OSLoader arcboot
setenv OSLoadFilename Linux
 .
 You will only need to do this once.  Afterwards, enter the "boot" command
 or reboot the system to proceed to the next Debian installation stage.

[PATCH] Fix non-POSIX:isms in base-config

[David Weinehall]

Several of the shell-scripts contain non-POSIXisms (such as XPIisms and
BASHisms); this simple patch fixes them.

(Manual) substitutions done:
-a and -o => expressions that uses && and || instead
type => which
trap: use signal-names instead of signal-numbers
tail + => tail -n+
egrep => grep -E

If I've missed anything, feel free to complain.  As soon as time
permits, I will finish my audit of the rest of the /bin/sh-scripts in
base, and submit patches for these as well.

Comments/Problems:

Everything went swimmingly. When I rebooted to finish the install, I had 
to manually set the kernfile variable to /vmlinuz-2.4.25-netwinder. A 
better solution would be for the installer to detect that it's installing 
to a seperate /boot partition and to add a /boot/vmlinuz symlink instead of 
an /vmlinuz one.

As well, when I finished the base install (opting out of using tasksel or
dselect), I was unable to install ssh. It installed to the point where it
tried to generate keys, and then died with Illegal instruction. I suspect
this is a hardware problem with my netwinder, however.

Cheers for the good work, the progress is fantastic!

Comments/Problems:
Install freezes at the beginning, during the initial hardware detection. 
This occurs at the same spot every time, when it says "Detecting hardware to 
find CD-ROM drives", the progress bar shows 97% complete and right below it 
says "Starting PC card services..."

I tried different install methods and this occured whenever the 2.6 kernel 
was to be installed.  When I tried the installation with the 2.4 kernel it 
did not freeze at that point.

If I can be of any help please don't hesitate to ask.

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_0.101_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.]

Comments/Problems: Does not recognize my NIC which is a 
National/Anthem NE2000 compatible and uses ne.o driver.  Gave it the 
ne driver selection and IRQ=3 IO=0x340 params which work in existing 
Woody 2.2.20 version.  Comes back to not recognizing NIC.  Also tried 
"8390" and nothing happens.

Appears to be a nice "start", but cannot comment further until I get 
past 1st base ;-)

It's already been fixed in the archive, so no need for a bug report. The
fix will be in tomorrow's CD images.

That's what we've always called a netinst cd. businesscard lacks the

vgscan reports open cdrom0 failed, a couple lines "Incorrect 
metadata area header checksum, and "Found volume group "vg1" 
using metadata type lvm2.  Vg1 is the only volume group I created.


lvscan reports the same first three lines as vgscan and concludes 
by correctly listing all lvs, but as inactive.  Here's the first listed:
inactive '/dev/vg1/usrlv' [1.0 GB] next free (default).  
  
I see:

IDE1 slave (hdb) - 5.2 GB Maxtor 85250D6
  #2 primary  5.1 GB   
 lvm
  #2 primary 96.2 MB

Isn't this the screen where I should see:
>    LVM VG vg1, LV usrlv
>    #1 ...
And if so, isn't this where I should be able to select the line and add 
a filesystem and mount point to usrlv?  Or should that take place in 
the Configure the Logical Volume Manager screen?  The only 
options I get for "Logical volumes configuration action:
  Create logical volumes
  Delete logical volumes
  Leave
It would make sense to also "Create filesystems on logical 
volumes".


Delete of an lv apparently entered in error returned "Error while 
deleting the logical volume Please check the error log  Alt-F3 
showed 4 lines of Incorrect metadata area header checksum, 
Volume group vg1 metadata is inconsistem, Volume group for uuid 
not found: , Unable to deactive logical 
volume "vg1".


Sorry about the verbosity.  I hope I've given the right information 
and not too much extra.

If it is then it is too big :\ a business card cd can only hold 50MB.
and the sid-amd64-cdrom.iso is 98.1MB.

Shouldn't other modules use /target/etc/fstab?

http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/install-images/sid-amd64-cdrom.iso
is what the d-i stats refer to as business card cd or not? Thats an
iso with udebs and base debs on it. Or did the nameing change?

I will ask Kurt Roeckx next time I see him how he builds the
Debian-installer package (kernel, ramdisk, mini.iso images) and ask
him to set up a cronjob for the daily build as per you other mail.

The debian-cd build images should be daily build soon too once I get
the Build-Depends installed on alioths european mirror. I don't want
to do daily uploads with my dsl line if its not needed.

Bug#253312: Installation failure for XFS over LVM on Test1 Sarge Netinstall CD

[Samuel P. Howard]

I did not receive any errors or warnings about using LVM on the root 
disk/filesystem.

I tried it again from scratch just to make sure I didn't miss it.
I also tried the Software RAID function and configured the 2 HD's as 
follows:

HDA
   /boot ext3 50m
   10g  raiddevice (0)
   swap 2g
   108g (remainder) raiddevice (1)
HDB
   /boot2 ext3 50m
   10g  raiddevice (0)
   swap 2g
   108g (remainder) raiddevice (1)
Then, I went in and assigned the 2 raid devices as follows:
   raiddevice (0) / xfs
   raiddevice (1) /local xfs
This install failed later on with a message about:
   /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: RAID support requires raidtools2
   Failed to created initrd image
   dpkg: error processing kernel-2.4.26-1-386 (--configure)
  (more blowup errors)

Bug#253683: Re: Bug#253683: TC1

[Don Jackson (AE5K)]

Hi Joey and Martin,

I found the problem!  During the install, the [!] Detect network 
hardware screen comes up.  The wording on it includes:

An example string looks something like "IRQ=7 IO=0x220"

It appears the routine parsing this entry does not recognize 
uppercase IRQ and IO as shown in the example.  I finally tried 
lowercase "irq=3 io=0x340" (in my case) and it worked!  Tried it 3 
times, alternating between upper and lower case tries.  So the 
routine should either be changed *or* the example changed to match 
reality (along with a note to use lowercase).

I'm somewhat of a newbie with Debian releases ... and Linux in 
general, although I've dabbled with it for a couple years half 
heartedly and years ago had a few years experience with Unix SysV. 
Please see my comments below interspersed between your questions:

Moot point now, but my NIC is ISA.  In addition, how do I run 
"lspci"?  Changing to a 2nd virtual console and using "BusyBox", it 
comes back with "not found".

In fact when I was going thru the installation and stalling at the 
NIC driver screen, I didn't realize I could open a 2nd console ;-)  
Therefore, most of stuff in the "template" for reporting the problem 
is "n/a" since I didn't know I could access the stuff.

Once I found I could open the 2nd console to get this, yes dmesg gave 
me the hint at the end of the file:

ne.c: You must supply "io=0xNNN" value for ISA cards.

Note the lowercase "io".  That gave me the idea to try lowercase.

Thanks for the hint!  Yes, I then tried it and using "lsmod" did not 
see "ne" listed.  I assume I was using the correct command. (?)

Anyway, thanks for your prompt responses -- I proceeded without 
further hitches and just about ready to boot the new install for the 
first time.

Further comments: the script instructions are a little confusing in 
the wording in the partitioning area for inexperienced users.  I have 
some suggestions, but don't think this bug report is proper channel 
to make them.

Regards,
Don

Bug#253742: Sparcstation2 netboot problems

[Jurij Smakov]

Hi Alan,

It seems like one explanation for your problems is that all the output
goes to the serial console instead of the terminal (for reasons unknown).
I have heard at least from one other person on IRC (maybe it were you? ;-)
who had very similar problems. Could you please try and hook up to the
machine's serial console and see if it works?

Best regards,

Install on Proliant 1600

[Don Mangiarelli]

Hello all,

I am trying to install Debian either stable or testing on a Proliant 1600 and I seem 
to be having some problems with the partioning scheme. I have used the Smart Start CD 
v. 4.21 to create 2 Arrays. 1 consists of 3 18.3 GB drives in an 8 GB and 27 GB Raid 5 
configuration. My reasoning is that the 8 GB set will be the system and 27 GB set will 
be the /home folders. The other array cosists of 2 4.3 GB drives mirrored.

When I go to the partition portion of the install I see one 36 GB drive. If anyone can 
give me some insight as to how to straighten this out I would be ever so greatful.

 
Thanks,
Don

If this change was in discover1 -10, which is not in testing yet, at
least it's not broken regular d-i CDs. At least I hope not..

I think the thing to do is increate this bug to a release critical
severity so it does not get into testing with this bug (otherwise it
will in 5 daya).

Re: Help! Debian-Installer Dies with various umount errors

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

If you were blonde, female, and weighed less than 400 lbs I'd kiss you :)
Yes, you're 100% right... that's exactly the problem. If you're 
installing to a hard disk of 100gig or greater, the Beta 4 installer and 
the Testing Candidate 1 installer will fail, giving you no real error 
messages, etc.

I was able to verify this, and with a little disk-juggling, got this 
working.

I didn't see this in the BTS have you filed a bug report on it? I'd 
say this was a pretty major problem that while easy to fix, really needs 
to be corrected in TC1.

Once again, Dan, thanks so much for your help!

How large is your disk? I was running into similar issues, and it turns
out base-installer at some point runs `df /target/` to determine the
target disk. If your disk is large enough, the "1k-blocks" column runs
into the "Filesystem" column, adding all manner of digits to the end of
the filesystem address.

You don't have to, an unset MAINFEST-* is simply ignored.

Would be the best solution, I think. Any configuration which wants
to give a more specific description can override it with its own
value then.

ksymoops has even a -t flag to select the target architecture.
You usually do

ksymoops -t  -m  -v  \
-o  oopsfile > oopsfile.decoded

for cross-target oops dump decoding.

Bug#253736: discover1: Tries to remove /media/cdrom0 which fails in d-i - cd is mounted there

[Joerg Jaspert]

Package: discover1
Version: 1.5-12
Severity: important

Hi

discover1 has this change in its changelog for 1.5-10:
  - Change default CD-ROM mountpoint base to /media (Closes: #245898)

Since then it breaks d-i cdroms, because they are mounted in /media and
discover tries to remove the directories there.
Gives an error while installing grub on i386 (you can simply go on
after this, but it still is an error message).

Comments/Problems:

 LVM install with linux26 kernel worked great.  I was really impressed that
it all worked :)  I'm glad cfdisk is included, so you don't have to use
those menus to partition the disk.  I love that the installer knows about
LVM.  nice job :)

 udhcpc from a late-May daily build failed, but dhclient in this release
worked. :)

 I don't remember if this was while the installer was running, or only after
the reboot, but the dialog boxes looked funny.  Instead of being surrounded
by lines, the boundary character looked like CE, but squished into one
character.  fb or vga font problem?

 In tasksel, the cursor flashes under task tickboxes even when I've tabbed
to  or .  This makes it non-obvious what's going to
happen when you press return, but it's purely a cosmetic problem.

 In the mirror-selection, the option to enter a hostname should be more
prominent.  Maybe outside the list, as a separate button?

 After selecting a mirror, it should prompt you for another one, so you can
get a non-US source too.  (Or maybe it's best to keep things simple and
avoid not-totally-necessary questions?)

 The problems in my previous report about typos and missing ipv6 /etc/hosts
entries still apply to the test candidate 1.  I won't repeat myself, so see 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=253724

 Configuring X wasn't much better this time.  In fact it was worse, because
I installed some font packages which apparently provided fonts that got used
by default (e.g. by konqueror), but didn't have glyphs for all the
characters.  (I think '/' or '-' was missing).  Things were ok after I
removed ttf-dustin.  I hate messing with fonts, so there's probably nothing
wrong with dustin's fonts, just the way they were getting used...

Comments/Problems:

 I conf'ed the network manually because udhcpc doesn't work at my site.  (the
far-superior dhclient in the test-candidate version works fine, so good job
getting that working.)  I was worried that wanting to use eth1 would be a
problem, but the menu to choose which nic worked great. :)

 GRUB installed fine, but it didn't have an entry for the winxp partition.
(which was re-sized and the disk repartitioned before I booted the
debian-installer).  I haven't re-tested with the test-candidate installer on
a machine that has a windoze partition, so I don't know if this is still a
problem.  I had to manually add the winxp partition to my GRUB menu.lst.
GRUB's config file has some typos: "default optons", and "specifiv".

 I also have some comments on base-config and the various packages' postinst
scripts: 
- The add user dialog had two versions of the same sentence: "Enter a full
name for the new user" displayed in the same dialog box.  I don't remember
if this is fixed in the test-candidate.

- /etc/hosts doesn't have entries for ip6-localhost, etc.  netbase's
postinst is supposed to add them.

- the installer never asked for a debconf question-ignore priority level.
I haven't made up my mind whether that's a bad thing or not.

X11:
-- X was set up for 800x600 and 640x480, even though the machine has a
1024x768 LCD screen (LG L1511S).  butt-ugly :(  I wish it used ddc-probed
monitor information, or at least read it with get-edid | parse-edid and put
that info into a dialog box.
-- I had to do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 to get a decent X setup.
It complained about  "cannot open /sys/bus/pci/devices", since I wasn't
running Linux 2.6, but it worked anyway.  It still didn't use probed values
for hsync and vsync, which is dumb on reconfig because all the binaries are
there for it to use to do any probing.  I don't remember everything I did,
but my notes indicate that after dpkg-reconfigure, the hsync/vrefresh values
were closer to the probed ones, and that the X server log file had a warning
line about "config file hsync range not within DDC".  I manually editted
XF86Config-4 after that.
-- The mouse setup (/dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice) will give a double-speed
mouse pointer if you run a 2.6 kernel with input support for ps/2 mice.
(The X server will get the mouse motion twice, once from each device file).
I don't know a way to write a config file that works well for 2.4 and 2.6 :(

 In short, the major hurdle for people who don't already know what they're
doing will be getting X running.  Modern hardware is so easily
autodetectable that it seems odd that the installer doesn't do as well with
X as with everything else.  (I guess Brandon's X stuff doesn't have anything
to do with debian-installer, but people setting up desktop machines do need
to configure X.  It looks like that's by far the hardest thing for a typical
desktop install, in terms of requiring detailed knowledge of how things are
supposed to work, and all your hardware specs.).

No, this is totally unrelated and PPPoE is not discussed there.

Only ppp-udeb and the ppp kernel modules udeb are needed for a PPPoE
install, but I do not know which images provide them.

You should see entries like:
   LVM VG foo, LV bar
   #1 ...
for every LV you create.

Can you open a shell on alt-f2 and check with vgscan and lvscan if
those VGs & LVs have really been created?

Any pointers would be much appreciated.
   

Try http://dsl.linux.it/DebianNetinstall
 

That web page mentions nothing about PPPoE. Just PPP modems. I need to 
connect via an Ethernet card using the PPPoE (PPP Over Ethernet) 
protocol, not though a modem.

I read that the Linux 2.6 kernel has built in support for PPPoE and that 
the debian installer was going to have built in support for this, 
probably using pppoeconf or like it.

Thanks anyway.

root on LVM is currently not supported, and you should have received a
warning about this.  Did you not get this?

What exactly was wrong with LVM.  Can you mention the steps in which

How large is your disk? I was running into similar issues, and it turns
out base-installer at some point runs `df /target/` to determine the
target disk. If your disk is large enough, the "1k-blocks" column runs
into the "Filesystem" column, adding all manner of digits to the end of
the filesystem address.

My email on the issue is under the subject "Installer fails on
initrd-tools"

That's it. I don't know why I didn't catch this myself and (properly)
report the error, but df /target returns:
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1157076776 36284 149061412
0% /target
with the -h flag
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 149.8G 44.9M 142.1G 0% /target

Considering "One large / partition" is what d-i advises for new users,
and that's the option I picked to generate the above partition sizes,
this looks like a rather critical issue :)

Thanks for your response and assistance!
-Dan C

Further, it looks like [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( "Help! Debian-Installer
Dies with various umount errors" ) may be experiencing the same issue --
of particular interest is the "clean install, letting the installer use
the entire disk."

I was hoping to avoid that, since I thought that would mean I'd have to
set MANIFEST-INITRD_LIST in all the .cfg files. Maybe I can just set
MANIFEST-INITRD_LIST = "contents of initrd" in config/common and leave
it at that, though.

Comments/Problems:

Rootfs was chosen as XFS. GRUB warning came out and was ignored and when the
boot loader install came up, it halted. In its virtual console it said it was
"Probing devices to guess BIOS drives". Couple of CTRL-C's brought up the same
message again and again. After 10 minutes no progress. Swithing to other
console and killing the GRUB process by hand (kill -TERM) helped and install
continued flawlessly and GRUB booted from HD just fine!

Comments/Problems: 
After I got VMware to recognize my CD-ROM drive, the initial install went without a 
hitch. Took about
30 mins, and could have gone faster if I hadn't stopped to check out the installer 
along the way.
I was a little shy about letting the installer auto-partition the drive, as this is a 
Virtual Drive inside
VMware, so I parititioned manually, and it went fine. Everything went as advertised, 
and it was a very
pleasant experience. As a matter of fact, it was the quickest install ever. 

The rest of the day was spent in getting X11 downloaded (350Mb takes a while) & up, 
but everything went pretty well.

only PROBLEM: Root did not have /sbin in $PATH during tasksel install, I had to move

Everything went quite fine, but when it rebooted, the screen was broken.
Not as before, instead of showing messy characters in place of the
borders, there were no borders at all.

I might be wrong, but I think this floppies use linux 2.4, and the
problem we were having (messy characters in the borders in second stage) 
only happened with linux 2.6.  

As a remainder, the fix to the old problem was to execute:
consolechars lat0-sun16.psf.gz 
when the encoding was ISO-8859-1.

I think this might be useful to fix the present problem.

Actually, since [EMAIL PROTECTED] did not include any real error
messages in his report, there is no way to tell if he experienced a
problem similar to yours or not. Jumping tyo the kind of conclusion you

I don't know much about this stuff, but I've been told that on the 2.6
kernel, lack of usbutils results in hotplug complaining that it "can't
synthesize root hub events". After that report, I made hw-detect
apt-install usbutils when apt-installing hotplug. I think that's a
better place than usb-discover, probably. So this bug can be closed..

Why did you not provide this information? Unless your NIC is not a PCI

Do you have any messages from dmesg that might be useful in determining
why the kernel isn't finding your NIC even when you load the right
module with the right settings?

On i386 the 2.6 kernel packages depend on module-init-tools. It seems
that this is not the case with eg, kernel-image-2.6.4-itanium.

The new version of partman-auto has support for architecture specific
things like this, so this could be fixed there as it was for powerpc,
iirc. You can work around this by doing manual partitioning and setting
up the fat16 partition by hand, I presume.

Can you open a shell on the 2nd virtual console and check if the

Bug#244978: is usbutils ever needed?

[Frans Pop]

On Thursday 10 June 2004 17:51, Alastair McKinstry wrote:
> Do you know if usbutils is needed for multi-interface
> devices, or will hotplug suffice?

/etc/hotplug/usb.rc contains the following code

LISTER=`which usbmodules`
if [ "$LISTER" = "" -o ! -f /proc/bus/usb/devices ]; then
echo "** can't synthesyze root hub events"
return
fi


usbmodules is a part of package usbutils.

But see also the comment just above that code which says the dependency on 
usbmodules should be dropped (starting kernel version 2.5?).
(I guess there should be a test for kernelversion in this script...)

Currently though I guess it's still needed (and not installed by default).

Hope this helps.

If you would build those using the installer/build/daily-build script,
then I could add them to the build tracking page
(http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/build-logs.html).

Which reminds me: Would someone like to set up a new powerpc daily
build? I'm tired of waiting for Sven to fix his build so it will appear
on the above page, and the lack of tracking of build failures cannot be
good for the powerpc port.

Anyway, I've added them to the ports status page, though they're all
marked as only "building" since I don't know which images work except
for the CD image.

I thought that might be it too, but I cannot reproduce it in a sarge

Well I'm afraid that the amd64 team does not have the final say over
severities in the BTS. Every inflated severity bug report I receive just
wastes some of my time to downgrade it, and is then fixed as quickly as
it would be no matter what its severity.

Bug#252930: Installation-Reports: Beta 4 as a VMware Guest

[Joey Hess]

Hmm, but setting HOME in base-config does fix it. Go figure. Perhaps
whatever bash used to get root's home in my chroot is not present during
a base-config run.

For a unset HOME it seems to do that, but we have "HOME=/". I can
reproduce the bug with that setting.

Help! Debian-Installer Dies with various umount errors

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I have tried the Beta 4 Sarge installer, Beta 4 Net Installer, and 
Testing Candidate 1 Net Install (all for i386) and my installs always 
die at Installing the Base System. (I always do a clean install, letting 
the installer use the entire disk).

Looking in the error logs, I see:
umount: /target/dev/pts: No such file or directory
umount: /target/dev/shm: No such file or directory
umount: /target/proc/bus/usb: Invalid argument
I also have Googled and searched the BTS, and I note that there are 
quite a few reports on multiple architectures that list this same 
issue BUT I can't find any resolution or work-around.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Why is this bug coming up?
I feel like I'm really in a weird twilight zone where everyone else 
seems to be doing fine with the new Debian Installer, but I keep running 
into this same problem

Bug#244978: is usbutils ever needed?

[Alastair McKinstry]

Hi,

I'm working on Debian bug #244978, which asks if usbutils
is needed for anything, or will hotplug suffice.

In /etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions, there is a note:
" usbmodules used for (a) multi-interface devices, (b) coldplug"

Do you know if usbutils is needed for multi-interface 
devices, or will hotplug suffice?

Regards
Alastair McKinstry

Exactly which URL did you use to download this image? I added
input-modules to the initrd some days ago ...

Review of arcboot-installer template wanted

[Alastair McKinstry]

Hi,

I'm planning to include a patch to arcboot-installer,
for #241178, which posts a reminder note about prom variables.
(Assuming joeyh says ok).

Before I go stressing out all the translators, can people please
review the English version below?


Template: arcboot/prom_variables
Type: note
Description: Setting PROM variables for Arcboot
 If this is your first Linux installation on this machine, or if you have
repartitioned your hard drives, you will need to set certain variables
 in the PROM before the system will boot normally.
 .
 At the end of this installation phase, you will reboot your system.  When
 you do, select "Stop for Maintenance", then press "5" to enter the command

 monitor.  There, type the following commands:
 .
setenv SystemPartition 
scsi(${abootbus})disk(${abootid})rdisk(${abootlun})partition(8)

setenv OSLoadPartition 
scsi(${arootbus})disk(${arootid})rdisk(${arootlun})partition(${arootpart})

setenv OSLoader arcboot
setenv OSLoadFilename Linux
 .
 You will only need to do this once.  Afterwards, type "boot" or reboot the

 system to proceed.


Regards,
Alastair McKinstry

Install via PPPoE

[Arthur Wiebe]

I haven't been able to find any info on how to install Sarge through the 
Internet using PPPoE to connect. Is this possible yet? If so how? I 
haven't been able to test the latest test candidate because Virtual PC 
can't initialize the virtual switch.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Or is there a better place to ask this?
Thanks,

Bug#253645: modconf does not write options into /etc/modules

[Florian Schmidt]

Package: modconf
Version: 0.2.45.1

Hi, 

i tried around with jack o'quins realtime lsm for 2.6.x kernels and i found something 
weird..

when i pass the options any=1 allcaps=1 via the modconf program these options do get 
written into /etc/modutils/realtime, but not into /etc/modules. Weird enough, they 
also do not seem to get applied to the loaded module.. therefore right now i need to 
load the module manually via modprobe realtime any=1 allcaps=1.

Versions: Debian unstable
Kernel: Vanilla selfbuilt 2.6.6

Realtime Module: http://www.joq.us/realtime/realtime-lsm-0.1.1.tar.gz

Thanks,
Florian Schmidt

P.S.

initrd.list output from build process

[Colin Watson]

The following patch causes the d-i build process to output an
initrd.list file beside each initrd listing the packages it contains and
the versions of each package. What do people think - should I commit
this? I think it would be very useful for:

  * figuring out what versions of everything went into the initrd part
of a given image without having to find and read through build logs,
which is our only way of doing this at the moment and is a
nightmare;

  * arranging for debian-cd to exclude packages already in the initrd
automatically rather than using its current manually-maintained
exclude-udebs thing;

  * allowing third parties building d-i-based images to work out which
set of packages is sufficient.
