  That said, the 2.6 floppies are too big to work with miboot without the

 I downloaded the latest 2.4 floppy images, but it looks like you didn't get around 
 to disabling the objcopy yet.

Yeah, alioth and thus the d-i svn repo was dead yesterday. It is up again, and i will 
remove it for tomorrow.

 In any case, I still get a red X.
 
 The objcopy and the bfd library on my most recent debian sarge install are dated May 
 19th, 2004.  Is it possible that we haven't had a successful powerpc OldWorld floppy 
 boot since that time?

No, i don't think this has an influence.

d-i and USB drives

2004-08-30 Thread John Summerfield
I'm playing with one of my toys: I have a Laptop drive, and I'm booting 
all the installers I can lay my hands on to see what can't find it.

d-i does (I think it's the April beta), but calling it SCSI is going 
to cause confusion, esp with any new to Linux.

I like the fact you give some info about the drives: I've just failed 
the FreeBSD installer because it gives me the choice of ad0 and da0, 
with no explanation.

However, I expect a n00b would be confused with either.

Bug#268815: Second stage in debian-installer starts up in english when swithcing languages during first stage

2004-08-30 Thread Christian Perrier
merge 268815 265085
thanks

Quoting Recai Oktas ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 * Håvard Korsvoll [2004-08-29 12:19:41+0200]
  I have tried a installation in norwegian bokmaal on a i386 system. 
  Started installation in export mode and looked around in different 
  menus  to check translation. I changed the language back and forth 
  (nynorsk, english, bokmaal). Finally settled for bokmaal. Finished the 
  first stage and rebooted.
  When booting in to the installed system I get english as language.
  
  When doing an install and choosing language one time only, it gets 
  right, I get norwegian bokmaal as language
 
 Hmm, this is probably the same bug as #265085?  If so, we should merge 
 them.

You're certainly right.

Recai, can you have a look at these bugs. They are quite nasty and,
I'm afraid, unanticipated consequences of the
languagechooser/countrychooser interaction.

The best is probably by forcing countrychooser again after a
languagechooser run. However, I don't know how this could be
achievedhence putting Joey in CC.

Modules missing in vmlinux-prep.initrd (netboot)

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
Ok, Sven, i got your kernel booting on the OF prep machine, with the
daily netboot image (btw, now the other ppc (PPCBug) does not work...).
It boots quite well, switches from serial to console once the video card
(matrox millenium) has been detected, and lauches the setup.
It then freeze on hardware detection, and all i got from the logs are
some modules missing:
ncr53c8xx
usb-storage (i don't care, i don't have usb controller)
ide-detect |
ide-generic| idem, i don't have ide.
ide-mod|
ide-probe-mod  |
Before filing a bug report, i am calling for advice:
do i miss something ? Is there something i need to do to get the modules ?
And by the way, as i am writing, how can i get expert mode from netboot
installation ?
TIA to all people that give me advice.
Best regards,
Jerome Walter

Regarding the Storage server recipe in partman-auto

2004-08-30 Thread Anton Zinoviev
Hi!

I think the partman packages finaly have the shape/features I'd like
them to have in sarge.  (I am not uploading them only because my
internet connection at present is limited to my cell phone.)  The only
missing feature is the Storage server recipe.

The Storage server recipe should be similar to the Multiuser
workstation one but with larger /var.  I haven't created it because I
dont know whether /home should have separate partition or not.  The
best variant probably would be to make /home a symlink to /var/home
but partman doesn't support symlinks yet.

Bug#268986: Please set correct command line for PowerPC PReP kernel image

2004-08-30 Thread Jens Schmalzing
Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

The current PowerPC kernel-image packages, i.e. revision 2.6.8-3,
contain a built-in command line that enables most PReP systems to boot
unattended from hard disk.  It would be nice if the command line was
correct for the installation images as well; this is a simple matter
of replacing the root device in the kernel binary.  The following will
do the job:

 perl -pi -e s+/dev/sda2+/dev/ram0+ vmlinuz-prep.initrd

This should probably go into installer/build/config/powerpc.cfg, after
the mkvmlinuz loop.

Regards, Jens.

Bug#268554: weirdness trying to use existing efi partitions on ia64

2004-08-30 Thread Jim Lieb
On Friday 27 August 2004 19:31, Joey Hess wrote:
 Package: partman-efi
 Severity: normal
 Tags: d-i

 I have an efi partition already from a previous, failed install.
 Partman sees it and shows the type as EFI boot partition. It seems
 to be activated in partman, but on exit partman-efi complains that I
 have no efi boot partition.

 I've tried deleting the partition and re-making it, which works, but
 only if I slightly change the size. Apparently otherwise partman
 noticed I've not really changed anything, and does not format it.
 Unlike when it's dealing with other pre-existing partitions, partman
 does not add a Format the partition: yes/no to the partition edit
 menu, so I cannot force it to format it. Anyway, I'd rather not have
 to, as I hope to have multiple debian installs on this machine
 eventually.

 So to sum up, partman should let me control whether to format an
 existing efi partition or not, and partman-efi should not complain if
 the efi partition already exists and was previously formatted, or
 should perhaps complain less strenuously, since I suppose using an
 efi partition that has other cruft on it might be unsafe.
This seems to be caused by the core of partman that becomes convinced
that it should keep the partition.  At that point, none of the methods 
in partman-efi get called, making it somewhat difficult to add code 
there to do otherwise.  There must be some magic in the partman core
that I just don't grok yet but when partman gets convinced that either
it doesn't have to format because you aren't going mount it (which
we don't) or it hasn't been changed by your choices at some point,
it sets the method to keep and that is that.  Suggestions or
review by others would be welcome.

As for an efi partition with cruft in it, elilo-installer cleans that 
out so it is not unsafe.  According to elilo docs, the options used
won't carry across any previous state.  In other words, the problem
would not be carrying forward old cruft but potentially removing
good stuff you may want.  Safest path: expect a re-format which

Was this the default kernel that was installed for you, or did you
choose 2.6.6-1-generic from a list of kernels in the installer?

 I chose 2.6.6-1-generic from a list.  The default kernel is 2.4.26-1-generic.

 But I really want a 2.6 kernel, so I thought I would give it a shot since
 my DS10 as fairly standard DEC components.

The 2.6 kernels that have been made available post-RC1 stand a good
chance of having fixed that bug.  I was more concerned that you didn't
get this kernel by default, since that would point to a bug in the 
installer rather than in the particular kernel.

  Yes, the initrd problems for both LVM and RAID have been fixed a long
  time ago; both should work with separate /boot partition.
  Unfortunately, I cannot test because I had to return my test laptop.
 
 I've tried several times to get root on lvm working, but on boot of the
 installed system, I always see:
 
  No volume groups found
 
 And then a kernel panic as it fails to pivot_root into the root
 filesystem.

Tried some more, and I always get the above failure with 2.4, but root
on LVM works fine with 2.6. I wonder what's going on?

I'll look at the script and see if this can be done.  What is there came

 Interesting. I'd expect the kernel driver to abort if couldn't recognize

Comments/Problems:

Using boot:linux26 did not like my network cards. When trying to get
DHCP the installer returned an error ... not connected to any sort of
network ... for both cards (Intel 82543GC Gigabit Ethernet Controller
(Copper) (rev 2). and 3Com 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 120).) I had
set up a static network without an error and ifconfig showed the correct
addr and mask. ifconfig showed RX packets:0 even though there must have
been some broadcast traffic on the network.

Giving up on 2.6 I switched to the default kernel. This failed during
base install.  The first error I can see in /var/log/messages is
dpkg: base-passwd: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you
request:
  base-passwd depends on libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-4); however:
Package libc6 is not installed.

I shall try it attach the entire /var/log/messages


When my network was broken with linux26 the screen went blank (solid
colors, but no text at all) after I entered my static DNS servers. A
status message describing what is happening would have been
comforting.

When viewing the partitions after selecting separate home and before
committing changes there are some icons that do not have obvious
meaning. The lightening means bootable, I'm not sure what the face
next to each partition (/ /home and swap) represents. A legend would
be nice.

Lets hope I have more luck with rc1.

* Installer created NewWorld bootblock for root partition. Then quik bootloader would not install on this Mac. Was able to continue with installation but was unable to boot directly into Linux. Could not work a fix for OpenFirmware. Have used a duel boot system with BootX defaulting to Linux. Have so far been happy with this as there has been no need to reboot system very often.

Install boot loader:[E] - quik boot loader would not install on boot partition (oldworld mac)
Reboot: [O] - used BootX with a copy of Linux kernel copied to OS9 partition.

Comments/Problems:
Could not install quik boot loader. Could not configure OpenFirmware to work properly. Even after referring to quik quirks page and NetBSD pages on this subject. Used BootX from OS9 to boot into Linux. Copied kernel from Linux to OS9 system folder for BootX to use.

Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Much easier to get things going than installing woody. GUI worked without any problems after reboot. base-config easier to use.
Sharing with other macs using Samba without problems. Initial problems were sorting out the partitioning program and installing base system. Quik bootloader would not install but was able to continue installation and finally reboot to finish installation. It's working even if the mac doesn't boot directly into Linux

Comments/Problems:
The default frame buffer does not work. It is very unstable.
The screen disappears every 2-5 min and the system reboots.
Then, I started the installer with: 
  linux debian-installer/framebuffer=false
and this worked until the final install.

But when I used the sarge official installer as of 8/1/04,
the option has no effect (in spite of this option, the installer
always started the frame buffer).

Comments/Problems:

The install went quite well - no problems to speak of.  It did ask me
twice about PCMCIA, but that wasn't a big deal.  Did not install X, so
I have no idea if that works or not.  Great job all, and I especially
appreciated the clear explanation of the boot parameter options at the
beginning of the installer.

I do have one question, though I'm not sure if this is the proper
place to ask or not:
The installer has me add locations to /etc/apt/sources.list.  This
works well, and adds both a deb and a deb-src line for each mirror. 
It asked if I wanted security updates, so I said yes and it added a
deb line for security.  It does not, however, add a deb-src line for
security.  Why not?  I only ask because I don't think that it's made
particularly obvious anywhere that (as far as I can tell) you have to
have a deb-src line for security to retreive the most recent source
versions of packages that have had security updates.  I didn't notice
this in the installer manual, the installer itself, the APT HOWTO, or
the man pages for sources.list or apt-get.

If I overlooked an explanation of this somewhere, I apologize.  I am
just curious about the omission since I almost got bitten by this in
the past when building openssl from source.  For example, on Woody
currently if you apt-get source openssl without a deb-src line for
security, you get the source for openssl_0.9.6c-2.woody.4, but if you
include that line in sources.list you get the openssl_0.9.6c-2.woody.6
source.

Thanks!

This is indeed a possibility.
I will disable this again for the 2.4 floppies, and we will see 
tomorrow what
happens.

That said, the 2.6 floppies are too big to work with miboot 
without the
objcopy -O binary call, so we need to investigate this more in 
detail.
I downloaded the latest 2.4 floppy images, but it looks like you 
didn't get around to disabling the objcopy yet.
Yeah, alioth and thus the d-i svn repo was dead yesterday. It is 
up again, and i will remove it for tomorrow.
Fixed, please try tomorrows floppy-2.4 builds.

Not yet...  When I boot the ofonlyboot (and the boot) floppy, I get 
the tuxmac icon for only a few seconds.  The red X appears almost 
immediately.  When I looked at the filesystem, it has a zero length 
zImage file, and no vmlinu* file.  Commenting out the objcopy means 
that there is no vmlinux.bin file for gzip to work on.

Argue, sure, will fix it again for tomorrow ...
