==> remove kernel-image-2.6.6-i386/2.6.6-1

Easily done.  The above hint should take effect with tomorrow's britney
run, with the effect that the 2.6.6 kernel-image packages for i386 will
be removed from sarge at dinstall on the 14th, and will be held out
pending resolution of this RC bug.

Are there any RC issues with the 2.6.5 kernels that warrant keeping a
close watch on this issue going forward?  Are there other architectures
that would be affected by this bug?

I've only seen it on this box, 
but haven't tried it yet on 
other boxes.

Indeed this is an old box.  I'm 
a bit of a newbie and don't 
know how to disable 
O_DIRECT or build a udeb.  I 
could learn

This is from the Sarge daily

I didn't see an option in the d-

command line.

The netboot image consists of an initrd and a kernel. Sure, there are
other ways to boot this besides netboot, but none are approachable for
the average user; all involve cobbling your own boot media together or
even more complex hacks. And all are out of scope for its intended
purpose.

Note - This machine has two physical hard drives configured into a raid

partitioning problems or not.

Comments/Problems:
(note - #1 is verbatim copied from my previous report, everything is the=20
same, i have included it here for completeness only)
1.  The installer first went to cfdisk.  I created the partitions (1
ext3 (bootable), 1 swap), wrote the table, and selected finish.  Then it
went to the next screen where I am supposed to configure/mount the
partitions, and instead of the list of my partitions (should have been
2), the list has 6 or 8 entries, most consisting of just one letter,
like this:
N
N
O
O
P
P
Q

Anytime I select one of these list entries and hit   it boots me
out to the menu screen.  At the menu screen, I am able to select
auto-partition, which works fine and creates almost the same setup that
I would have created anyway, so this is not a fatal problem.

2.  Everything seems to install fine excepting the kernel.  The red=20
screen comes up and says that the kernel failed.  I hit alt-f3 to see=20

Also, the rawrite2.exe tool wouldn't read the image files from the hard 
drive because the filename was too long.  I had to rename and shorten 
the image file names before I could create them under windows.  Maybe 
this is more of a problem with rawrite, but I digress.

Configure Network HW:

I have a D-Link DE-220 ISA Card. The address/irq is 0x300, 11.
The detection failed (its not a PNP card).
Choosing the module 'ne' also failed, because it did not prompt me to 
enter the io port and irq.

I was able to get the card to work by using insmod with the correct 
io/irq from the command line.

Load installer modules:

Some of the mirrors listed (I tried 2 in canada) don't have the 
installer files.  (At least thats whats returned in the error message)

While downloading files from the mirror, suddenly the installer quits to 
a console screen with the message "Terminated" repeating over and again 
once every few seconds.

This is as far as I got.  I tried again a few times but invariably I end 
up with this "Terminated" stuff.  Looks like I'm running out of memory.
If I cat meminfo again and again between "terminated" messages, I can 
see the last free bit of memory get sucked up and then- POOF: Terminated.

Hope this report helps.  Any chance on getting the new installer to fit 
inside 24MB of RAM?

Comments/Problems:

During the hardware detection phase I received an error from modprobe 
regarding the inability to load the module ide-disk. However, this did
not cause any further problems (at least it seems so).

The LVM module did not work very well. I had to create manually a physical
volume with pvcreate. Moreover, I tried without success to install with the
root partition in LVM. The first part of the installation worked ok, but
I was not able to boot on the newly installed system.

[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:
- detect hard drives:
  after loading ehci-hcd, the hardware detection had to be rerun. then i was
  prompted to choose from the existing partitions on the scsi-drive. it seemed
  like the ide-drive had vanished. only after cancelling the process, i got
  back to the menu and was able to choose "partition hard drives", where both,
  ide- and scsi-drive, appeared. "partition hard drives" was skipped after the
  partitions had been found on the scsi-drive, while the ide-drive had no
  partitions at all (factory clean).

- partition hard drives:
  i wonder about the use of "finish" and "cancel" (dunno exactly the english
  terms used here, since german was chosen as install language). "cancel" is
  somewhat the same like "prev" and "finish" is somewhat the same like "next"
  which already exist on the bottom of the page.

- install boot loader:
  + for the translation team (german), there is an inconsistency:
installation des bootloaders lilo...

  + also there should be an example what should be typed into the field in
case some user does not want the boot sector to be installed in the mbr.
people unfamiliar with devfs do not know what to type in, then.

- booting new system:
  this somewhat failed.

Comments/Problems:

Everything OK until running base-config after the reboot.  Here base-config seemed 
unable to track which steps had been completed.  The first problem was in configuring 
APT sources - in my case http using www.mirror.ac.uk.  I set these options, and the 
package lists were downloaded OK, but then the config script repeatedly asked me to 
re-enter the APT sources, but without downloading again.  After a few repeats I hit 
"Cancel" and returned to the main menu, manually shifted to "Select packages to 
install" and everything seemed OK.

After selecting and installing packages using aptitude, the script then asked me for 
MTA configuration options.  After entering these the script returned me to the main 
menu, but still at the point "Configure the MTA".  Manual selection of the subsequent 
option worked OK.

This behaviour was seen when I re-ran base-config later from the command prompt.

Neither problem is fatal, but the first problem could

Subject: Re: INSTALL REPORT with 2004-01-09 netinst, failed

As I attempt to do more not-so-uncommon things (with the 2004-01-03
snapshot)...

- I initially have a HD with a single ext3 partition + swap (from a
previous RH install).  If I repartition by deleting the ext3 and
repartitionning that space in 2, on the partition setup screen I
notice the 1st partition is already listed as ext3, and the 2nd not.
Then I realize it comes from the previous (RH) install.  I had not
realized that when just selecting a single partition, when I thought
"ext3" was just a default.

Now if my original single-partition-over-RH had gone throught the
reboot stage, I may surely have ended up with a strange install. And
indeed the nc binary I had noticed, as well as the __libc_stack_end
issues probably derive from that.

 -> Maybe the partition-setup screen could emphasize this issue ?

 -> How about forcing system partitions (/, /usr(/*)?, /var(/*)?) to
 be formatted, or at least require confirmation ?

 -> Is it really a good idea to use those programs just installed
 before rebooting ?


- Now when I decide to split the existing partition in 2, but do not
realize I must explicitely select "format as ext3", since my partition
already appears as having ext3 selected (I thought), and go on, I'm
brought back to the main menu on the next step, and requesting to
install the base system brings me back there again almost instantly.
Only by looking at syslog I finally notice a "read beyond end of
device" attempt, which finally enlighten me on what's going on.

 -> the user should be notified of such errors by an error box.

 -> What about forcing the user to reformat such partitions, which we
 can decide must be invalid because they just reuse an existing block ?

 Or, probably better, when destroying a partition, we (cfdisk ?) could
 ask the user whether to nuke the 1st sectors, to avoid further
 misdetection.


- Once base packages are unpacked, while setting up lilo, I'm now
presented with a textbox containing the devfs name for the disk.  If I
want to install lilo in another location, it looks like I have to know
the devfs path, whereas in the old installer I could choose in a list,
which is much more suited to people not knowing devfs

BTW, is it wise at all to use devfs, which is tagged as OBSOLETE in 2.6 !?

Comments/Problems:

Okay, this is complicated. As I use a laptop, there is no floppy. And
this is where the story starts. Booting from the CD was no problem, but
then hw detection was started and everything went okay until it came to
"ide-floppy". Installer said smth like "skipping unavailable module
'ide-floppy' " and kept hanging there.

So I booted in expert mode. well, I got it to load my network drivers
(via rhine) and then I had to do "hardware install" again...guess what,
yes, ide-floppy failed again - The syste, was just showing that messaga
and did nothing. I rebooted again and again, trying to catch a debug
output on console (what I didn't manage) and looking into
/lib/modules/... I found out there is no ide-floppy.o...well, I did
touch ide-floppy.o before I started hw detection, didn't help. I did cp
ide-cd.o ide-floppy.o -- didn't help.
Each time the system was hanging and I got more and more frustrated.

maybe this isn't a ide-floppy.o problem. maybe the installer waits for
insmod / modprobe to exit with status 0, but smth goes wrong, and we
hang. 
Ah yes, sometimes it was also complaining about ide-probe-mod, that it
couldn't be loaded also.

Well, I hope this helps, if you wish a lspci output, please send me a
mail, then I will try to get one.

Thanks! Tobias

I just downloaded beta 2 of the debian-installer from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/i386/beta2/sarge-i386-neti
nst.iso (from: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/).

I tried to load it up on my laptop and it consistently hangs at 'Detecting
hardware / 95% / Skipping unavailable module 'ide-floppy' for 'Linux IDE
floppy'.

Is this a known bug?

Steps:
-Boot from cd just by hitting enter
-English (USA)
-American English
-It goes through a hardware detect, then loads installer components, then
does
a 2nd hardware detect and hangs at above messege

My system is as follows:
Dell Inspiron 8100 Laptop
Mobile P3 - 1.2 GHz
515 Megs Ram
Nvidia GeForce2Go / 32 meg

I'm processing old installation reports, and have, finally, gotten to
yours. Thanks for talking the time to file an installation report.

I'm closing your installation report, which appeats to be due to a hang
during pcmcia startup. Newer versions of the installer prompt whether to
start pcmcia if run in expert mode, which should get you past the hang.

If you can, please try installing again using a current version of the
debian installer. I recommend the tc1 release, which you can find on our
web page, . If you can, try
to reproduce the problems you reported using it,

I'm processing old installation reports, and have, finally, gotten to
yours. Thanks for talking the time to file an installation report.

I'm closing your installation report, which appeats to be due to a hang
during pcmcia startup. Newer versions of the installer prompt whether to
start pcmcia if run in expert mode, which should get you past the hang.

If you can, please try in

I'm closing your installation report, which appeats to be due to a hang

If you can, please try installing again using a current version of the

I just give beta 2 of the new installer a whirl and ran into a problem.  
I tried it on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop.  It crashed early on.  I 
select the language, then the keyboard, then it does some hardware 
detection, then it says its loading installer componets, then it does 
hardware detection again.  Its gets to 95% and says 'Skipping  
unavailable module 'ide-floppy' for "Linux IDE Floppy"' (or something 
very close to that, its from memory).  That's it, its crashed hard.  
Reset the machine time (Ctrl-ALT-DEL doesn't work btw, it needs a hard 
reset).


This was the Jan-5-2004 netinst iso for testing.

Is there something I can do to get you more info?  Is there a way to get 
a debug log via a serial port or something like that?  I'd be happy to 
help debug it if I can.

I'm processing old installation reports, and have, finally, gotten to
yours. Thanks for talking the time to file an installation report.

I'm closing your installation report, which appeats to be due to a hang
during pcmcia startup. Newer versions of the installer prompt whether to
start pcmcia if run in expert mode, which should get you past the hang.

If you can, please try installing again using a current version of the
debian installer. I recommend the tc1 release, which you can find on our
web page, . If you can, try
to reproduce the problems you reported using it, so we can

Comments/Problems:

the install successfully boots the kernel (I used no extra boot
params) and allows me to choose English as the language. It gets
through the first "detecting hardware" stage, and the "loading
components" stage. On the second "detecting hardware," it gets to 95%
complete, and then hangs on the message "Skipping unavailable module
'ide-floppy' for 'Linux IDE floppy'" The machine is then completely
wedged: can't ctrl-alt-del, can't open the cdrom tray, have to
power-cycle. 

I dug up a copy of the beta1 CD, and was able to install from that
without any problems, so this must be something introduced in beta2--
I imagine whatever comes after IDE-Floppy in the hardware detection. 

Otherwise, keep up the good work; the installer really seems to be
coming together well.

Comments/Problems:

Hi there,
I tried to install the official beta 3 of the debian-installer. It bootet=
 and=20
I got onto the first page of the usual installation (bootparameter =3D li=
nux).
I choosed german as my preferred language, changed the keyboard settings.
Then the installer tried to detect my hardware and load the modules. For =
the=20
reason that the notebook I am using got no floppy-drive, the installer=20
stopped saying 'Detecting hardware [94%] "Skipping not available module=20
'ide-floppy' for 'Linux IDE floppy''. And then the installer freezes. Not=
hing=20
works, I cannot change into the 2nd shell or so. I have to reboot.
I tried to install it by using the 'expert'-installation but soon or late=
r he=20
tries to detect and then skip loading the floppy-module. And that's where=
 he=20
always freezes.
By the way: Installing Debian 3.0r2 worked perfectly without problems.. M=
aybe=20
for the reason that there he is not checking my floppy?
I hope this will help you to fix this.

Jens Gerdes

Comments/Problems:

No real details about errors... and debootstrap files nearly empty. Could retry if you 
will and 
provide more details.

My comments :
Detection of CD, IDE and net was ok. Installer however did not included any devices 
for the floppy, so
floppy could not be mounted and command to save logs failed... without errors.
List of keyboard seems sorted strangely (belgian not in the first entries).
Naming of the IDE disk is surprisingly long... and way to navigate in the partitions 
could
be dangerous (the 'Finish' entry could be more 'highlited', I miss it for several 
minutes asking how to 
leave the screen)

Nice installer, more intelligent that the previous one. Will it include also a video 
card/screen detector to
ease:automate the X installation like Redhat?

uname -a: don't get that far
Date: Sat Mar 27 21:08:00 CET 2004
Method: booted from the "100Mb" CDROM

Machine: Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop
Processor: Pentium III or Pro (not sure)
Memory: 512Mb
Root Device: IDE 
Root Size/partition table: didn't get this far
Output of lspci: didn't get this far

Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked:[E]
Configure network HW:   [ ]
Config network: [ ]
Detect CD:  [ ]
Load installer modules: [ ]
Detect hard drives: [ ]
Partition hard drives:  [ ]
Create file systems:[ ]
Mount partitions:   [ ]
Install base system:[ ]
Install boot loader:[ ]
Reboot: [ ]

Comments/Problems:

I boot from the 100Mb CD.

I press ENTER at the "Press F1 for help, or ENTER to boot:" prompt.
It loads the kernel.

I am prompted "Choose language" and accept the "en_US" default.

I am prompted "Select a keyboard layout" and accept the "American
English" default.

The it says "Detecting Hardware" and the progress bar goes all the way.

Then it says "Loading components of the Debian installer" and the
progress bar goes all the way.

Then it says "Detecting hardware", goes only to 95%, (at which point
it is saying "Skipping unavailable module "ide-floppy' for 'Linux
IDE floppy'") and there it hangs.

I waited 1 hour so it *really* had hung.

Need more info? Let me know..

Comments/Problems: 

I have 5 issues...

1)  When it came time to format partitions on the hard drive, there was
a possibility for confusion of novice users.  Before the first screen 
where formatting choices are offered (this screen gets looped back to), 
there should be an informational screen saying that it's time to do some
formatting, and that one needs at least one partition, for the root 
filesystem (recommending type ext3 for beginners), and one swap
partition (recommending it being about twice a large in size as the
amount of RAM that is available, and show calculated ram size * 
2).  Then explain a loop will be entered for formatting as many 
partitions as needed, then choose exit to move onto the next step of 
installation. 

2)  When it was time to get the apt sources, the cyclical nature is 
confusing, it's not differentiated which repositories it's trying to go 
get, eg. non-US, main, contrib, etc.  So one doesn't know if it's

Hi,

here are some bits and pieces I stumbled across while installing on amd64:

1. Anna tries to read /cdrom/dists/stable/Release even though its an
   unstable cd (adding dummy links to cd).
2. Debotstrap has no script for unstable (renaming sid to sarge).
3. Partitioning scheme unknown for this architecture (amd64 should use
   i386 DOS partitioning scheme).
4. Partman hangs on exit.
5. Partman fails to see partitions or do anything usefull. Even formating
   and mounting a partition manually doesn't help skipping partman
   (removing partman from cd).
6. debootstrap wants to install gcc-3.2-base (giving up and fixing it).

MfG
Goswin

Hm, the harddisk is already very small, so I don't want to
waste space with multiple partitions.  Also, my other
problem remains: I don't like to go through the installation
process again, as it takes hours.  Can I just install LILO
over GRUB without finding myself in the partioner?

Btw. a colleague of mine had the same problem.  After some
problems during the end of installation (I can't remember
whether it was kernel or boot loader) he wanted to repeat
that step, but always found himself in the partitioner again
and again.  He - as me - didn't find a way to tell d-i:
"Hey, I did partitioning & base install, don't do it again!"

Cheers, WB

With sarge, a couple of weeks ago I tried to install some brand new
debian pre-packaged 2.6 kernels. It apparently wrecked GRUB's
configuration and made the machine unbootable.
By chance, I had manually reversed the bootloading chain some time
before (i.e., the windows bootloader was loading GRUB), so I could
still boot windows. Of course this is just a particular case, but...

It's probably possible to scientifically prove that GRUB is
technically superior. However, pretending that *every* user will
prefer GRUB over windows' bootloader looks more like religion.
The windows bootloader is simple, robust and easy to configure (not
everything that microsoft does is evil).

Another simple scenario: what about the windows user who just wants to
give debian a try then remove it and reclaim the disk space ?

By the way, last time I tested the installer one could choose where
GRUB was to be installed (MBR or elsewhere). Has this option now been
removed ?

If even "alternative" systems start to assume they own the MBR, life
won't be easy in the future...

I can understand that my suggestion is not important, at the very
bottom of the TODO lists, and that it will never make it in sarge. But
it's a bit harder to hear it's irrelevant.

You misunderstood my mail.  I don't want a change in tc1 (may be except 
the new languagechooser), just want to call your attention to the 
problem.  I am tired of such i18n idiosyncracies, particularly for 
Turkish.  I haven't ever seen an _almost_ out-of-the-box localized Linux 
distribution, and want to make sure that this time, we don't experience 
the same problems again for Debian.  These feelings are based on some 
painful experiences which a lot of English spoken people has not been 
aware of.  I don't want to encounter with the same l10n questions 
directed in debian-user-turkish again and again.  (Sorry, if you find 
these statements insulting.  This is not my intention.)

If you mean the 's/iso02.f16/lat2-sun16/' change, isn't this clear just 
for the same reasons of 's/iso01.f16/lat0-sun16/' change for English in 
the latest base-config?  I supplied some screenshots for a sample 
language (Polish) which IMO, clearly explains why such change would be 
worth and _mandatory_.  I try to do my best and perform some tests 
before suggesting a change, though I'm not a console guru.  Anyway, 
thanks for your time and efforts.

Best regards,

1. The problem wasn't in the BTS, that's the whole point of my report.
2. I was under the mistaken belief that both the main debian website and
the bug tracking system was available to users specifically so they
could use it to help solve their own problems and discover existing bugs
that had already been reported. After all, developers' time is wasted by
identical bug reports, so users are expected to read the existing list.
By all means close the bug, but from my perspective your reply doesn't
fix the problem at all, which was never more that minor.

Thanks for the information. 

Discover1's hardware database lists the cciss kernel module for your

Did you already download debian-installer[1] and try if it works for
you? You can also try to switch to the second console and load the

this please provide more information on what you tested and the error

On the status page it says:
businesscard CD: Unavailable
netinst CD: working
netboot: Building
hd-media: Building

How do you make a businesscard CD?

Why are those two in state building?  They're available on the
site.  Is it a problem that they're in the 2.6 dir?

How do we mark something as working?  And how did netinst get
into that state?

Comments/Problems:

Alright, first a few bitches:
- Waiting for DHCP to time out sucked, I know it won't work,
  eth0 isn't even connected to anything
- Couldn't configure my wireless card (eth1), though it did
  appear to be detected and looked operational
- bash on con2, for whatever reason, stops responding if you hit
  'alt-1' by accident (like when going for alt-f1 to get back to
  the installation), this is *very* annoying since you have to
  restart the install to get a shell to work in, it'd be nice to
  have a way to forcibly reset the shell or bring up another one
  or something
- Every other step it appears to 'detect hardware' or whatever,
  what's with that?  I don't have a floppy on the machine but
  every time it takes a few seconds to try and load it.

Now, the big problems:
- disco

Yes, but the netboot image does not have to be netbooted, it can also be
used like any other image.
Or do you think that the monolithic image should be used instead?

No, why? If I need to net-install over a DSL then I want to download the
smallest image which will get me started, and then download only the
packages which are actually needed when they are needed.

Is there an agreement that the netboot image is a correct image for
pppoe installs? That seems rather out of its scope to me.
 

I tought we had one the last time we discussed this...
PPPoE support needs everything available in the netboot image (i.e. the
drivers for ethernet cards) and nothing else than ppp-udeb and the ppp
kernel modules package[1], so it looks quite appropriate to me.
   

If you've netbooted a machine, then you must have another machine on the
local network, so it would be unlikely that you'd need to use the
installed system directly with a modem to get out to the internet. More
likely your tftp server is also a router, or something, no?
Also, a user who wants to install with a bare ppp connection seems more
likely to want to download some kind of CD image than a netboot thing.
 

I want to burn as few CDs as possible which is why I want to install 
over the internet using the installer. I can't even do a netboot. And 
I'm installing from the netinst.iso image not the netboot.

The prefered way to install Debian over the network using PPP over 
ethernet would be something like this:
After the ethernet card has been detected and configured (Has a driver 
loaded for it) then you would have the option to configure it to connect 
to the internet via PPPoE using something like pppoeconf.
Once the network is configured you can select http or ftp as the method 
of installation and it would actually work!
On some Redhat based distros they call it ADSL. Maybe you could have a 
menu where you can choose how to connect to the internet? Like DHCP, 
PPPoE/ADSL, PPP, BootP, etc.

[1] BTW, can you check if it has been removed from images which do not
also have ppp-udeb please? IIRC some had only the first package, which
is useless by itself.
   

Both udebs are on the CDs, and on no other d-i images.

The ide chipset modules have to be loaded before ide-detect to take
effect, I belive. And they're needed on some machines to access the
drive without it hanging. Loading it first works around your problem,
but it not a solution. Like I said, you need to do a binary search and
work out which ide chipset module is at fault; which I guess will take a
fair bit of rebooting.

Burnt the debian-installer image (the bigger, around 100M in size) on a
CDRW, and booted from that.

I did not specify anything at the boot prompt first. Later I rebooted
since I could not see the bottom of the installation messages, and I
wrote: "Linux vga=ask" at the boot prompt. I have chosen 80x30, and that
way everything worked.
I did not have access to the Internet, so I did not download anything else.

Comments/Problems:
For some reason the installer thought that I had a 80x30 display, and it
tried to use that area. I was in 80x25, so the last 5 lines were not
visible.
I managed to get through until the partitioning step, where I did not see
what cfdisk has printed, and I got lost.
I tried to solve the problem on another VT, but setting LINES did not
help, and I did not know what to do.
I rebooted, with vga=ask I have specified 80x30, and everything worked.

Thoughts: Even if I don't want an expert install, I would like to be asked
if I have network, or if I want to install netw

Comments/Problems:

Choice : francais, keyb fr

The computer is not connected to a network.  It tried network card config,
and failed.

Now, the problems:

1. I have chosen "Detecter et monter le cederom", but instead it entered in
network card config and tried DHCP, asked IP etc.  After that, I have
chosen the next option.

2. Additionnal packets installed ok, but after that it entered again in
network card config.  Same as before, hence I have chosen the next option.

3. HW detection ok, but after that again it entered in network...

4. I have chosen "Partitionnement".  I have tape ctrl-c, and it exited and
printed the boot screen.  Now the computer is blocked.

I can provide further details if needed.

I have also tried an installation with network, more info in another
report.

Comments/Problems:

I have the same problems with my PCMCIA network card as James Troup in
#227498: I load the 3c59x module and even though it is loaded fine
(and /proc/net/devices immediately shows that eth0 is there) I get a
"Ethernet card not found" error.  Also, as in #227498, it doesn't work
after reboot ("unresolved symbol" error in i82356.o).

It asks me for my hostname twice.  After loading the ethernet module,
I enter the hostname.  Then it tries to configure DHCP, fails, and I
configure a static address - IP, netmask, gateway, DNS... and hostname
again (showing the one I chose before).

I installed the base system, LILO and then I'm at the "Finish the
installation and reboot" screen.  I realize I'd like to have GRUB
instead, and press "no" (or "go back" or whatever it was) here.  GRUB
fails to install because the CD-ROM and /target have been unmounted
already!  I think the CD should only be ejected and /target unmounted
if people actually select "Reboot" at the "Finish the installation and
reboot" screen and not before.

After getting the "Installing GRUB in /target failed." message, I get
into the main menu.  However, the status bar from "Installing GRUB
boot loader" is still in the background.  Quite ugly.

Pressing "reboot" in the "Finish the installation and reboot" screen,
it tries to refresh the screen before rebooting, but doesn't actually
refresh the whole screen (most of it is black, but the "Go back" and
"Reboot" is still there).  This laptop might be a bit slow, but not
that terribly.

After reboot: in the past, base-config would ask me if I wanted to
create an user account.  It no longer does this, which is fine with
me, but it also does not ask for the real name anymore and creates an
account with "Debian user".  We really shouldn't do that.  I noticed
that during base-config was running, the debconf priority was set to
"high" and later it was "medium".  (Is it even base-config that does
this?  I cannot find the user creation code in there.)

I tried aptitude for the first time.  I only had a CD with main on it,
and when I pressed on a section in aptitude it wouldn't actually show
me a listing of packages straight away, but showed "main" first.  This
makes it really quite tiresome to use.  Since surely 99% of users will
only have main, aptitude should cope with this

What is the solution?  Use LILO?  I had LILO on that machine
before, so it still should work.  Only problem: I don't like
to go through the installation process again, as it takes
hours.  Can I just install LILO over GRUB without finding
myself in the partioner?

Comments/Problems:

I installed the bootloader to /dev/ide/[devfs crap]/part1, but the
installer did not initialize the MBR on the disk.  So after an unsuccessful
reboot attempt I examined the situation and ran the install-mbr manually.

Comments/Problems:

With patched udpkg and kbd-chooser, almost everything was alright.
Since everything was included in kernel, no module was installed.

partition hard-drives didn't work, I didn't check if fdisk was installed
since my hard-drive was partitioned.

something strange, the -smp kernel was installed.

and since there is no silo-installer, I need to use my current silo with
extra parameter root=/dev/hda4

But it was a very smooth install !

Comments/Problems:

I am having problems getting the stable distro to install.  My network card is 
detected and works fine (gets a lease from DHCP, etc.).  I can select a Debian mirror 
with no problem.  I also proceed to select "stable" for distribution type; however, I 
get an error saying that the installer can't get installation files from the mirror.  
However, if I select "testing" or "unstable" the installer proceeds to the disk 
partitioning phase without a problem.

It would appear that "stable" installation has been disabled in the Beta 2 installer.  
Is this the case, or is there an actual bug involved?

Otherwise, the Beta 2 installer is *perfect* on my machine.  You guys are doing a 
*fantastic* job.  Keep plugging away, this installer is probably "ready for prime 
time."  :-D

Regards,

Kevin Griffis

Comments/Problems:

o ISOLINUX prompt hangs, then prints something like "Failed to get
  sector size, assuming 0800" after ~1.5 minute and boots.

o Chose 3c59x for my network card and got the "Ethernet card not
  found" hate-message... waited 10 seconds or so and my PCMCIA card
  came to life as expected.

o Was then dropped into the "Configure the network" dialog box.  "Go
  back" didn't work at this stage.

o devfs. eww.

o There was no dialog/progress bar while creating partitions which
  took quite some time.

o The system ejected the CDROM and gave me the "System Reboot" dialog;
  after I pressed "Continue", it dropped into the "Configure debconf"
  dialog, but I wasn't able to do anything with it as the system was
  already rebooting.

* On reboot, the network didn't come up.  I got the message below (by

Comments/Problems:

>From the SRM bootloader, aboot tried to load the kernel with a root dev value of
/dev/rd/0.  The kernel doesn't recognize this as a valid device.  Manually booting
using root=/dev/ram0 instead succeeds, and gets me to the language chooser.

Language chooser: although the alpha images nominally include support for querying
the default language from the SRM environment, inspection of the d-i environment
shows that SRM env support is neither compiled into the kernel, nor available as a
module by the time /etc/rcS.d/S40srm-* runs.

Also, it appears that nothing inititalizes the file /var/log/syslog; instead of
seeing kernel output on vt 4, I see scrolling complaints from tail that it can't
open this file.

IDE/SCSI hardware detection appears to hang (or at least takes an insufferably
long time) while trying to load the qlogicisp module.  This is indeed the correct
driver for my SCSI card.  The pre-existing Debian install on this machine has the
module built into the kernel, and the kernel is 2.4.19 (vs. d-i's
2.4.22-1-generic).  There were known PCI issues with 2.4.20/21 on alpha, but I've
used 2.4.22 successfully elsewhere.  I'll try to get a stock kernel-image booting
on here, to see if I can reproduce the problem outside of d-i.

Hi,

I think I found two unrelated bugs in the Sarge installer beta1. I have 
filed two previous installation reports using this exact same CD image - 
both successful, albeit with minor gripes (please configure apt to 
default to NOT deleting cached debs!).

Anyway, here is my 3rd install, on a much older machine (had to boot 
from floppy): 

Package: installation-reports

INSTALL REPORT

Debian-installer-version: beta1 (17 Nov 03)
uname -a: n/a (failure)
Date: 05 Jan 2004, 23:08
Method: Used two floppy images (bootfloppy-image and floppy-image), then 
used ftp to get to the installer CD

Machine: home made Asus PCI/I486-SP3G
Processor: Intel 486DX4-100
Memory: 32MB FPM RAM
Root Device: /dev/sda (but didn't get that far!)
Root Size/partition table:  Feel free to paste the full partition
  table, with notes on which partitions are mounted where.
- I won't bother this time, since we never got to do any local hard disk 
access!
Output of lspci: can't give you that either! 

Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked:[yes] BUT please put the bootfloppy-image onto 
the Sarge ISOs!! I had to download it separately!
Configure network HW:   [yes] 
Config network: [yes] I found how to skip dhcp by choosing Go 
Back
Detect CD:  [don't know]
Load installer modules: [most of them] failed on 
nic-extra-modules-2.4.22-1-386-di "unknown reason" (in syslog it said 
something about "end tar, corrupt" - didn't write it down, sorry, but I 
did check the md5sum of the package against md5sum.txt and it's fine)
Detect hard drives: [don't know]
Partition hard drives:  [n/a]
Create file systems:[n/a]
Mount partitions:   [n/a]
Install base system:[n/a]
Install boot loader:[n/a]
Reboot: [n/a]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:

Right, three problems here. First is mentioned above - the installer CD 
does not contain the crucial boot floppy image (though bizarrely it DOES 
contain all the other floppy images - the "second floppy" 
(floppy-image.img) and the net_drivers and cd_drivers images). Please 
make sure the boot floppy image is part of the beta2 CD!

Second is that Download Installer Components failed on nic-extra-modules 
as described above. This is really odd, because both my previous 
installs FROM THE SAME CD didn't have this problem. So there's no 
problem with the file on the CD. I wondered if the machine was out of 
RAM, so I switched to vc2 and had a look (cat /proc/meminfo) but there 
was still over 8Mb free. Also, it already detected both my NICs from the 
two boot floppies (which is how I was able to configure the ftp install 
in the first place) - the machine has a Netgear FA31x (natsemi.o) on 
the LAN and a 3c59x Boomerang talking to the cablemodem. So I don't 
understand why it failed on nic-extra-modules at all.

Third - when it aborted it offered me "Continue" or "Go

Comments/Problems:

   I was hoping to do an install off of a USB keychain.  I'm using a
256MB keychain, partitioned as GPT with a 100MB fat16 partition, and the
rest ext3.  I copied the contents of the el-torito image into the fat16
partition and the rest of the CD into the ext3 partition.  The system
failed to autoboot when I selected USB for install (the directory and
filename layouts are incorrect for autoboot).  I then went to an EFI
Shell and booted manually by typing elilo (I'm using a VGA console for
install).  Install went fine till it started looking for a CD.  I got it
to look for the install media elsewhere, but it got an error that the
usb-storage module wasn't available.

  I gave up on the USB keychain and popped in a CD.  In the processes of
installing the base system, I got some unaligned access errors on the
console.  These were mainly from main-menu and anna.  Really ought to
fix these, use prctl to turn them off or maybe just turn down the dmesg
level to make them not go to the console.  I got the base system
installed and selected the install kernel option.  It presented a list
of 4 available kernels.  Selecting any of them immediately brought me
back to the main menu w/ the "install kernel" option highlighted.  I
checked the /target drive, and no kernel was installed.  I tried this
several times before I gave up.

   I have some concerns about using devfs for the install.  I'm told
that after install you will not end up with a devfs system, but I
couldn't get that far to verify.  It's confusing to be presented with
SCSI devices as host/bus/target/lun when you're really ju

When you notice the problem, could you quickly check
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases and see if a router was given to you? If
so, then we need to fix dhclient-script.

(In which case, it would be nice for you to give me the sh -x
play-by-play of that, if possible)

Well, I think we can't call this a messjust problems in testing
such changes (which is indeed not that easy when the package is not
uploaded.testing 2nd stage packages is really difficult when they
have not been uploaded)

I confirm. The display problem is not important enough for changing
everything.

The needed changes may, imho, be made to trunk's languagechooser. But
tc1 needs to keep languagechooser 1.22. Languagechooser 1.23 is
currently tested with sid_d-i builds (I'm doing my best for testing
these up to 2nd stage but, well, I'm back at work now and 10h/day
hacking is now away...:-))).

Bug#253910: cd install not working on dell latitude x300

[Scott M. Dier]

Package: install
Version: test candidate 1

The installer didn't load ehci-hcd for this machine under a CD boot
where it did under a USB boot (!?).  I've got no idea (yet) how modules
are called before the ISO is mounted, so I'm assigning this to install.

The usb controller is a 82801DB USB2 chip.  The usb1 driver was loaded,
but the X300's cdrom drive is on the usb2 bus.

Comments/Problems:

1. for french translators:
when i install network modules, the message displayed is 
'chargez les modules présents sur la disquette maintenant' 
but the floppy in the device is floppy-image.img, not net-drivers-image.img
so it's better to say: 'chargez les modules présents sur une autre disquette' for 
example
 
2. list of network modules is in reverse order

3. i have to call 3 times 'detect network hardware' to have the panel to enable me to 
enter options for network modules
the first time, it detects nothing (i have a dlink 220e and a cs89x0 card)
the second time , it rery again, nothing is detected by i have a red screen error with 
'modprobe -v ide-cd'
and the third time, i can config ne module but 'Ethenet card not found' (but i use the 
same options in woody and it works!)

4. when i want to rechange the language (to see for example, the translation in 
en_US), just after, it call 
hardware detection or 'configure the network', it depends on the position in the 
installation process.

5.when i select 'load drivers from a floppy', it access directly on the device with no 
message 
like 'install the floppy and press enter' for example

6. unable to go back in 'configure the network panel'

Well, loading ide-detect first solves the problem. but then it fails
with all the other ide-modules. I tried with another machine, that
works withuopt problem. I loaded ide-detect first, and then only the
driver that fitted the chipset was loaded. Is it possible to change so
that ide-detect is loaded first, and then load the ide-chipset drivers
afterwards ? but then it should fail silently when loading the
ide-modules fails.

Bug#221505: the keyboard problem

[Joey Hess]

The keyboard problem is a fairly well-known problem. For example, see 
http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerWorkarounds

Most people report that it occurs up until X starts; they don't have
gpm, or gpm does not seem to be the cause.

I'm reassigning this bug to the kernel.

Comments/Problems:

the installation program is unable to detect "modprobe tulip" went OK. 
Autoprobe fails suggesting manual install, manual install ends in a 
red screen, nevertheless tulip module gets loaded and eth0 interface is
alive. One can ignore the error and continue succesfully. 

Note: in the case of official beta release from Nov 9, the
same problem is fatal. Moreover the Nov 9 release is unable
to spawn cfdisk (endless loop starting cfdisk)

Comments/Problems:

The laptop has a PCMCIA ethernet card (3c575_cb module) which is not
listed among the network card choices.  I did try 3c59x which is the
appropriate kernel-based PCMCIA modules, but had same results.

After selecting the option that none of the cards were appropriate,
the installer did a little more hardware detection, and then tried to
start cfdisk.  The install ended in the error saying that cfdisk could not
open the disk.  System frozen at this point; had to power down.

There currently is a debian system on the laptop (an expendable
system), and cfdisk has no problem seeing the partition table.

Version: N/A; reported 2003-11-28
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Target:
Dell Workstation 400
Dual 9.1 GiB SCSI Hard Drives and Plexor CDR attached to a PCI 2940UW SCSI card
128MiB Ram
Single PII @300 MHz
Matrox Mill II
*The bios does not recognize the scsi as a boot device*
This system has only two methods of booting:  Floppy or Netboot.
3C905C with PXE


Report:
Wow, this is a very nice change.  I required the 3COM drivers to boot a kernel.
With the new installer it was simply a quick job of mounting the initrd, chrooting 
and doing a udpkg -i net-extras.udeb.  Very nice.

Had some issues with the ramdisk.  I set the pxelinux kernel options as follows:
ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram initrd=kernel-initrd (I'm a bit lazy at 3:00am).
This information should be in the documentation.

In this situation, the cdrom is not recognized until the scsi modules are loaded. 
And even if the cdrom is recognized, I do not have a desire to load from the cd.
So, if the installer modules did not load correctly, I would be stuck in a loop
of configuring the CD-ROM.  Kind of bad

Another irratation is the removal of a break from the installer process.  In the
older installer, if things were failing, I could hit ctrl-C and the installer
would restart.  This should be reimplemented.

After things got burning, I found another issue.  In my situation, I need to move
the initrd as well as the vmlinux to the netboot server.  So I tried the default 
of scp (DOH..  This is an installer), ftp and finally nfs.  Shock and amazement,
nothing worked.  I was saved by doing a chroot to the target and apt-getting
ftp.  It was very ugly, but it worked.

Doing a base-config in the installer would have solved my issue of moving the 
initrd and vmlinuz if it worked.  I selected the 2.6.0-test9 and the 
base-config failed.  It would be very nice to allow another choice of doing
a complete configuration within the debinstaller.  Then downloading ssh and
doing anything required is very simple.

Post reboot is ugly.  I now get the dreaded dev/console not found.  
It looks like the pivot-root command is not in the 2.6 initrd.
Needs more investigation
Good night.

Re: lowmem_0.8_i386.changes REJECTED

[Christian Perrier]

Quoting Joey Hess ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

> So, did you also not commit the fix to the bug to svn? There's at least
> nothing in the changelog. If so a .10 release should be made with your fixes.

The fix mas commited. However, I forgot to add the changelog
entry. Funnily, when looking at the changelog, though, it lists this:

  * Joey Hess
- Languagechooser has been reverted back to old behavior, follow suite.
  * Stephen R. Marenka
- Add m68k minimum ram.
  * Joey Hess
- Typo fix. Closes: #247934
  * Sylvain Ferriol
- To be compliant with new languagechooser/language-name template

Sylvain Ferriol change was indeed prior to yours, but reading the
changelog sequentially gives the impression that it happened after it.

And, my change was more or less Sylvain change put back.

So, I'm pretty sure that indeed the 0.9 version contains my fix to
lowmem_debconfhowever it is just not mentioned in the changelog.

The changelog in 0.8 *had* the changelog entry and thus the bug has
been closed when it was uploaded.

So, imho, we have three options:

-leave this as is. The changelog entry will be missing but the fix
*is* here

-upload a 0.10 version for just putting the complete changelog file 

-just correct the changelog in trunk but not doing any upload just for
this (there's an arch-dependent package so this would add extra work
to autobuilders, I guess)

Bug#244886: kbd-chooser: can't select keymap on sparc64 netboot 20040411 image

Hi, 

I just tried it with last netboot image in sid (url attached).

When I boot with DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low, I answer :

* langage : en (default)
* country : united states
* keyboard : sun (choices possibles: sun or usb)

and then kbd-chooser assumes that I have a sunkeymap keyboard. But it
didn't ask me to choose. 

If I choose United Kingdom for country, it chooses sun5uk* and sun5fr
with France as country.

I think that with "low" as priority, it should list available keymap.

Thanks.

PS : if you want me to do some debugging, please ask. I can even provide
you a root account via ssh on this box (in day hours (UTC+2)).

To make your controller work we need several things:

1. The controller has to be supported by the debian kernel. Do you know
if HP also distributes the source of this driver or if it is binary
only? Is this driver also included in the official linux kernel sources?
If the kernel module is binary only you are probably out of luck.

2. We need the name of the kernel module required by your controller and
the ouptut of "lspci" and "lspci -n" on your system (if you have an
other linux distribution already running). With this information we can
add your controller to the discover hardware database.

this bug is RC

[Joey Hess]

severity 251861 grave
thanks

This bug is release crticial: it makes it impossible to install debian
with the 2.6 kernel.

We have a patch for the bug, but I don't know if Herbert will be
avilable to release it. Didn't he quit? So can someone step up and get a
fixed package into the archive?

An alternative fix would be to remove kernel-image-2.6.6-1-386 (et al)
from testing. The 2.6.5 version is still available in testing, and
works. Since this bug *is* RC, that would be an appropriate response,
IMHO.

(I see a slightly different bug with this kernel and my test laptop.
When the frame buffer is turned on just before base-config starts, the
laptop simply turns off. I suspect it's the same bug, different failure
mode.)

Re: RAID1 on / planned?

* W. Borgert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2004-06-11 15:00]:
- Is RAID1 on / planned to be supported?  IMHO, it doesn't
  make much sense to have RAID1 support, but not on /.  OK,
  you may save the / or /boot from time to time manually
  on the second disk, but that's not convenient...
I intend to work on this after rc1 has been released.  There is one
problem with mkinitrd which will be easy to fix; apparently, there are
problems with the boot loader too.  I don't know details, though.
I haven't seen problems with mkinitrd and RAID1 on the x86 arch, at 
least circa the end-of-May daily builds (just with mkinitrd defaulting 
to LVM1 instead of LVM2 when running root-on-LVM-on-RAID).

I've switched my testing system to /boot and / on seperate RAID1 
partitions (I installed with root on LVM on RAID), and now the only 
issues I have are with grub.  Both update-grub and grub-install fail 
when they can't find /dev/md? as a BIOS device.

This seems to me to be a problem with the scripts trying to be either 
too smart for their own good, or not quite smart enough (note the 
debian-stable grub-update script works fine with RAID1, but you have to 
install grub by hand).  You can 'trick' update-grub by manually adding 
/dev/md0 to the device.map file in /boot/grub, but that seems like a 
very dirty hack, probably with several unintended (and likely nasty) 
consequenses farther down the line.

I'm pretty handy with shell scripting, and could probably come up with a 
fix to the grub stuff (espeically with the nice auto-detect stuff in 
mkinitrd already working!), if that would be of assistance.

>=20

There is /etc/modules.conf for loading modules.

Hardware is constant, it doesn't make sense to check for changes
on each boot. In fact, it is even annoying.

Please disable discover after installation.
It would even better to remove the package.

Version: N/A; reported 2004-02-27
Severity: wishlist

One common multi-boot configuration is to use windows' bootloader to start
linux. Windows' bootloader just needs the first linux' or grub's bootsector
(512 octets) as a file (I suspect this may also be the case for other
bootloaders).

Extracting this bootsector to a file using "dd" needs just a few commands,
but dangerous commands with wizard-parameters. See:
  

I think the installer could help a bit to do this, through a new menu item:
"Copy the bootsector to a file". This item could be for instance automatically
triggered after the "grub-step" if and only if the user did NOT choose an MBR.
Ideally, mounting a windows VFAT partition (or even NTFS, depending on the
kernel) should also be easy from the installer.

I don't think this is worth implementing; the installer now detects
windows and other OSes and adds them to the grub boot menu automatically
which will be much nicer for most users than some manual windows boot
loader setup.

When booting from CD you don't have enough time to read about the
boot options 'install', 'install-safe', 'expert' and 'expert-safe'.

Of course you can press a key to stop booting the default entry, but
maybe this should be printed in the first line.
