I've been hit by the same problem which kills my fully automated
installs of desktop systems, at this moment.

I guess that release managers are aware of this. Just in case, I'm
cc'ing -release

Add lspci to the list of binaries installed by d-i?

Debian Installer testers answers to this are very often that lspci is
not available if they switch to vt2 during the install. Then our
answer is recommending them to boot with something else, like Knoppix
LiveCD.

I'm wondering whether it could be possible to add /usr/bin/lspci as
soon as possible in the installation process.

That binary is part of the pciutils package. This is why I CC this
mail to the package maintainer.

That would probably require the pciutils source package to build a
udeb package with only /usr/bin/lspci in it.

There may be other arguments against this, but imho, this needs to be
discussed...unless it has already been discussed and I'm not
knowing..:-)

Yes. Localechooser adds an extra field in the languagelist which will
have 0 or 1 as value. When, for whatever reason, framebuffer is
disabled, only languages withthe 1 value are displayed. This is not
automated : we will have to decide, for each language, chether it is
displayed or not. The key will be : only display languages which can
be displayed with the Altin-1 charset.

So, basically, fixing this is post-sarge as localechooser is not ready
for being included in the release (not enough testing).

Bug#283193: disk-detect udeb needed

2004-11-26 Thread Joey Hess
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i

Experience shows that we need a udeb that uses discover/whatever to find
disk drives, then checks to make sure a disk was found, and if not, lets
the user choose a module from a list of disk drivers, as in ethdetect.

Since we don't have this, currently when the installer fails to find a
disk, the user is stuck in partman, unless they know how to modprobe
modules in the shell.

Dealing with NFS mounting should be taken into account when designing
this (assuming the rest of the installer will eventually support NFS
root).

This is, unfortunatly, a post-sarge issue.

Bug#283184: debian-installer: Lilo fails when configuring LVM over raid during installation

2004-11-26 Thread Doug Maxwell
Package: debian-installer
Severity: important

This is an older Dell Dimension desktop with Bios version A05 and a
PIII-450. I am using the Sarge RC2 net-installer.

Using the expert26 install, attempting to use LVM on top of raid-1.

Install raid-1 across two IDE hard drives, raid device md0, configured
as two physical raid partitions of 6GB each (hda1 and hdb1).

info: /bin/report-hw: discover: ;;;Unknown;Maxtor 90650U2;/dev/hda (6GB - ide1 
master)
info: /bin/report-hw: discover: ;;;Unknown;WDC WD84AA;/dev/hdb (8GB - ide1 
slave)

Make md0 an lvm partition, configure volume group vg00 and four
logical volumes:

info: /bin/report-hw: df: /dev/mapper/vg00-root_lv   575813 64563480530 
 12% /target
info: /bin/report-hw: df: /dev/mapper/vg00-home_lv  1965459  8239   1852363 
  0% /target/home
info: /bin/report-hw: df: /dev/mapper/vg00-usr_lv  1965459 82778   1777824  
 4% /target/usr
info: /bin/report-hw: df: /dev/mapper/vg00-var_lv  1074853 48619968890  
 5% /target/var

Write changes. Error on console #4:

"grub-installer: /boot is a lvm partition (dev/mapper/vg00-root_lv),
cannot install grub".

Lilo is given as an option in the installer menu. I choose to install
to the MBR of /dev/md0, this pops up a nag box saying the partition is
not marked active ("/dev/md/0 doesn't contain a valid partition
table").

If I mark it active, lilo-installer fails with:

sfdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature
/dev/md/0 unrecognized partition
sfdisk: 0 no such partition

Not marking the partition as active makes the lilo-installer fail with
an "error code 1"

So I can't get a boot-loader onto this system.

(Note that if I create another raid-1 container just for /boot, and
leave /root and the others configured as LVM partitions on a separate
raid container, the install works great, using grub this time).

Here are detailed logs after each choice offered by the installer.

installation, screen for choosing kernel was presented.  The 
2.6.8-powerpc kernel image was selected, and an error immediately 
followed.  Check the third virtual console showed:

Why was that a problem? Was eth1 something different before the reboot?
What is the other ethernet interface on your computer?

Try putting the /boot partition closer to the front of the disk (in the
first 5 g or so, you can resize the ntfs partition or move it) and see
if that fixes the hang. 

Is this a complete system freeze, or can you switch to the third virtual
console (with alt-f3) and see what the last messages are in the log
during the freeze?

IIRC this is fixed in the new localechooser. Currect, Bubulle?

AIUI, the 2.4 hppa kernel has almost everything built in, while the 2.6
kernel is more modular. Proably we're missing an item in discover for
this card, which I assume is a pci card? Can you send lspci and lspci -n

Proably because there are no udebs at all, let alone kernel udebs, on
the second CD. So I'm reassigning this to debian-cd; if the second full
CD is intended to be bootable, it needs to have the d-i udebs on it.

IIRC this is a known problem with the 2.6.8 kernel and it's fixed in the
newest kernel debs and udebs. Those udebs were uploaded yesterday, and

Comments/Problems:

I booted from the boot floppy, then inserted the root floppy, I was then
presented with a message telling me that the installer had started in
low-memory mode (the machine has 32MB of physical memory).  The "select
language" items were still present in the d-i menu but ineffective since
I was in low memory mode.

I then proceeded to install drivers from the net-drivers floppy but d-i
hadn't ejected the root floppy and floppy drives on Macs don't have an
eject button.  I had to eject the disk forcibly using a pin and the
"rescue eject" function.  The woody installer used to eject the root
floppy as soon as it had finished loading the system, I think that would
be nice in d-i too.

My network card, a ne2k-pci card, was detected and DHCP worked fine.  I
selected as few installer modules as possible, everything worked okay.
The hardware detection was somewhat faulty, it wanted to load drivers
for a dozen of IDE chipsets.  I unselected them all from the list of
drivers to load and loaded the floppy and ide-disk modules only, the
hard drive was detected fine.  Partitioning was _very_ slow: there was a
~10 second delay between each screen, even more when it needed to
perform operations on disk.  I didn't see any obvious reason for the
slowdown in the logs or in a shell.

The rest of the installation was fine until the very end.  I tried to
select a 2.6.8 kernel from the list of available kernels but
installation failed, in the log console I saw that it aborted because
preinst (or postinst, I don't know) was asking for confirmation about
the initrd.  Retrying with 2.4.27 worked fine, apparently because d-i
set do_initrd in kernel-img.conf for this image and not for the 2.6 one
(?).

The most difficult part of the install was installing a bootloader.
Installing Quik from the d-i menu failed every time, so I googled a bit
for the solution.  I will repeat the exact steps I followed since it
might be useful to someone else with a Power Mac 6500:

1. Create /dev/nvram with mknod /dev/nvram c 10 144

2. Use /target/sbin/nvsetenv to change OpenFirmware values like this:

# /target/sbin/nvsetenv boot-device ata/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2
  ^^^
2 if the root device is /dev/hda2, 3 for hda3, etc

# /target/sbin/nvsetenv input-device kbd
# /target/sbin/nvsetenv output-device /bandit/ATY,264GT-B

3. Check that /target/etc/quik.conf exists and looks okay (with nano)

4. Install quik from the shell:

# /target/sbin/quik -v -r /target

Then proceed with the installation.  Using "install a bootloader" at
least once is important, quik.conf doesn't get created otherwise.

I finished the installation and rebooted without problems.  The end of
the configuration detected a CD in my drive and automatically used it to
setup sources.list, replacing my http entries.  The CD was an old woody
ppc CD, it would have been nice for the installer to detect this and not
try to use it to install packages.  I fixed sources.list myself in
another terminal before proceeding with the actual install.

After the installation I upgraded Quik with the a new version (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/11/msg00856.html> and
installed the 2.6.8 kernel image from sarge for powerpc, which installed

Oops - apologies.  I've also been testing the i386 version of the
installer and may have imagined I saw "vmlinuz" and unfortunately I
didn't have time to repeat the process to make sure.

I came across these pages just now - very useful thanks. I'm giving the

I'll have to let this one go.  The new owner will have to rely on BootX.

The "F12" seems indeed some kind of standard.

You moved the DNS entry
and asume a proper working DNS for the DHCP server.
( I don't like IP address neither in config files,
  but it's "advantage" is that it don't need DNS )

Subject: Bug#283166: Debian Installer no longer runs in qemu
Date: Saturday 27 November 2004 00:09
From: Frans Pop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Package: qemu
Version: 0.6.0.dfsg.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

I have been using qemu very intensively to do testinstalls and debugging
for Debian Installer. Until now, this worked absolutely perfectly.

Today I upgraded qemu and now, if I start d-i, I only get a black screen
in the emulator window. The qemu monitor seems to work normally.
Starting with the -nographic option results in qemu not starting
completely and a complete hang.

In despair, I've downgraded to the previous version.

The system on which I run qemu is Sarge with current 2.6.8 kernel.

Cheers,
FJP

This file is part of the libc6 package. Hence reassigning the bug to

as to the umaxen, i've had relatively easy success with a umax 3000 -

take only one device at a time. the SCSI is a generic MESH chipset IIRC.

i think so. dunno how common they are, or are still sold (i don't hang

I have to mention that I hesitated some time before closing the bug. 

Friedemann took care of reporting the issue so I didn't want to sound
rude though I indeed think that the issue may be more minor than
Friedemann imagined.

In my opinion, users who may want to re-use existing partition are
most often clever enough for finding a way to do what they want.

However, we can imagine that choosing the "Use existing free space"
choice in partman-auto could trigger the choice of re-using one of the
existing partitions.

There may be something to dig here...post-sarge..:-)

Perhaps; I'm not sure what the policy is for d-i tags on packages that are
entirely part of the installer, like partman.

"partition type 8e" is a partition type specific to DOS partition tables
(possibly supported by GPT now as well, I don't know how many of the
identifiers GPT inherits from DOS).  There is no corresponding partition
identifier for BSD disklabels; I have no idea what it would take to be able
to standardize these things for Linux use on BSD disklabels, but there's
apparently not enough interest in alpha anymore for this to have been
started from the kernel end.

A bug report (probably against package: kernel) shouldn't hurt.

Well, mine is just one opinion; I guess some people find it useful on other
archs, so I can't argue that it should be removed altogether -- and removing
it from just one architecture isn't possible either, the recipe can only be
overridden, not removed.

That errata page includes architecture-specific errata as well.

Tested on a Power Mac 6500/250 installed about two hours ago using d-i

works fine.  The machine has 32MB of physical RAM.

When the installer prompts to load modules during the three times it
auto-detects hardware, it continually offers the "floppy" module as
a choice.

With other modules, if I deselect them the first time, they are not
offered again.

It would be nice if this could be fixed.

Bug#283157: debian-installer-manual: /target/boot is mentioned as directory for the kernel to be installed in

Package: debian-installer-manual
Severity: normal

In 
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch06s03.html#nobootloader

initrd are installed. This isn't correct (anymore?), or am I mistaken?
Should be /boot ?

Bug#283153: discover1-data: 3Com 3C920B-EMB-WNM Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller not detected

2004-11-26 Thread Sven Koch
Package: discover1-data
Version: 1.2004.11.09
Severity: normal

I just tried to install sarge using the sid-d-i-snapshot of 2004-11-25, but
it did not detect my onboard ethernet card. I think it is because
discover1-data does not associate it with the 3c59x module.

Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 40)

/usr/share/discover/pci.lst contains:
10b79202unknown unknown 3Com 3C920B-EMB-WNM Integrated Fast

changing the "unknown unknown" to "ethernet 3c59x" (or adding it to
pci-26.lst) should do the trick.

works fine with 3c59x from 2.6.8-1-386

loaded the module in d-i manually, and the netinstall went through fine.

The E-mail from Christian Perrier does explain how it can be done.

Making it a "well visible option" is something different.

If you see possibillities how it can be done,
then let us[1] know.

lvm was what failed on missing modules.  I was able to mark partitions
as physical volumes and create the volume group using the choose an
option that fails to convince it to accept the current configuration
trick, but creating a logical volume failed with a complaint about
missing the stripeing module.  (Sorry I don't remember the exact
name.)

The raid problem was trying to figure out how to set partitions as
part of a md set, not missing modules.

I've got plans for the weekend so probably won't have time until
monday to play with this any more.

Bug#283149: Obfuscated Argentinian Timezones

2004-11-26 Thread Margarita Manterola
Package: base-config
Serverity: normal

Hi!

I've seen this bug for a while now.  Sorry for not reporting it earlier.

When prompted to select the timezone, at second stage of the installer, if
you have chosen "Argentina" as the country, you get a dialog that is too
big to fit on screen, but can be corrected to show up correctly:

The timezones are shown with the names of the most important Argentinian
cities, followed by a series of 2 initials, like TF, RT, VB, etc.
This initials don't really mean anything to Argentinian people (we don't
refer to our cities by their initials), and are the cause of the screen
getting too wide.

If just the names of the cities could be shown, it could be much better.

This information is located in /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab, and I'm
referring mainly to the "TZ" and "comments" column.  I think it would be
better if just the "TZ" information was shown, without the comments.

Hi!

I was with Noodles, testing the netboot installer on his laptop.  We
wanted to try something fancy, so we installed in a certain partition he
had free, formatting it in XFS.  The idea was not to touch the rest of
the installation that he had in his notebook.

So, we did format in xfs, thinking of booting with lilo instead of grub.
Now, I think I already said this, but since grub does not work with XFS
in /, it would be nice if the installer would NOT try to install grub in
/, and switch automatically to lilo.  Or at least, switch automatically
to the main menu.

Anyway, that's not the bug.  The bug is that when installed in the
partition (instead of the drive's MBR) lilo does not work with XFS
either, it fails because it would break the file system.  Apparently,
XFS does not leave space for lilo to be installed at the beginning of
the partition.

Actually, it didn't even fail.  It stalled, and we had to go to the
console, kill the present lilo, do it by hand, and that's how we saw the
error message.

So, uhm, I see no solution here except for not letting the user do this.
Or at least, failing instead of stalling, so that the user can go back
and decide what to do.

I've just tried installing Debian with RC2 into an XFS partition.

It correctly chose to use LILO automatically instead of suggesting GRUB
first.  And then when I chose to install it in the partition instead of the
mbr, it correctly warned me about the bad consequences it could have.

When I still chose to go on with this, it failed with a red screen and made
me go back until I chose to install LILO at the MBR.

I think this is as good as it gets, so I'm considering this bug solved, and
thus I'm closing it.

Bug#283136: debian-installer-manual: creating USB-stick Debian-installer under Windows

2004-11-26 Thread Heike Jurzik
Package: debian-installer-manual
Severity: normal


Section 4.4 of the manual states: "For preparing the USB stick you will
need a system where GNU/Linux is already running and where USB is
supported", whereas in fact it's also possible under Windows. Here is
how to do it:

1. get "dd for Windows" from
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite/dd.htm

2. download the boot.img.gz (use WinZip to decompress) and the
sarge-i386-netinst.iso

3. start Windows commandline, find out the device name with:

dd --list

4. write boot.img to USB-stick, for example if your stick is "e:":

dd if=boot.img of=\\.\e: bs=1M

5. copy sarge-i386-netinst.iso to stick

6. reboot and install Debian :)

Cheers, Heike

Bug#283137: Problem when booting from second CD

2004-11-26 Thread Margarita Manterola
Package: installation-reports
Severity: minor

This report was done with RC2 CDs, downloaded via bittorrent

Known by my will to do weird things, this time I tried booting from the
second CD, instead of the first.  It listed only "linux" and "expert" as
booting methods, so I chose "linux"

But I couldn't get really far, because quite early in the installation
(just after reading the CD's data), it stated that the CD didn't contain
the correct kernel modules (there was a "mismatch" between the modules and
the kernel version), and took me back to the menu.

There's no option (or at least I could find no option) allowing me to
umount the CD and put the right one in, so I had to reboot to do a
successful installation, booting from the first CD.

I don't know whose fault it is, hence I'm filing it to
Installation-Reports.

Successful Installation Report - RC2

2004-11-26 Thread Margarita Manterola
Since this is a Successful installation report, I'm not filing it as a bug.

I've just installed RC2 in a Sempron machine, that had WinXP installed in
it.

I booted with linux26, resized the NTFS partition with partman (this is
kind of a hidden feature, isn't it? :), from 40GB to 10GB, and finished the
installation normally.

Then rebooted into the other operating system, that decided to do a CHKDSK,
and everything was fine.  Then it rebooted the system.  I chose WinXP
again, it booted fine, and after a minute or so, said that it had finished
detecting the new hardware (?) and that it needed to reboot again.  After
that, it worked fine.

In conclusion, NTFS resizing works smoothly, even if it needs 2 reboot for
WinXP to work.

This was awesome.  I'm now deleting it, obviously :).

This is the cpuinfo, just in case you want to know what the machine looked
like:

processor   : 0
vendor_id   : AuthenticAMD

  People can get hurt when they go across the street.
  For me it is no problem, I do know the different
  between a parked car and a speeding car.
  But there is still a potential risc for others.

Hi!
I installed two machines recently and wasn't able to find a way to reuse
some linux partitions that existed from an earlier linux installation on
the same harddisk. This wasn't very problematic for me, but I guess
those who don't know linux good will have problems to find a solution
for this.

Everything else went smoothly with the two athlon machines I used the
installer on during the last week.

Best regards (and thanks fro your great work!)



Friedemann

[l10n] New shadow package upload

2004-11-26 Thread Christian Perrier
I uploaded today a new release of the shadow package which includes
new translations of the debconf templates to Hindi, Malagasy and
Albanian.

This upload should improve slightly d-i level2 statistics and make
Albianian closer to 100%. Hindi and Malagasy translators have just
benefit this opportunity for having their work in...but as these
languages will not supported in the next release, these translations are
not counted in d-i statistics.

Comments/Problems:
Installing worked fine until the reboot, whereafter it could not find
the IDE hard drive. Power-cycling fixed this, so I imagine it is a
problem with the power management. Have been recommended to compile
custom kernel with APM, so going to try that. Also, small note, not
sure if this is the install or tasksel problem, but tasksel fails
completely to install desktop environment, citing problems with
various kde elements --> claims they are all uninstallable. Hoping
this is some sort of testing bug, but it has stuck around for a couple
of days.

Mmm, i could test it on the umax apus 2000 and on the pmac 8200/120 i have
here, need to test that this weekend. quik didn't work yet on the umax, and i
have never really used it, so some kind of help would be welcome in order to
set it up.

floppy install on powerpc on anything except old world powermacs are not
currently supported. If there is a special patch needed for the kernel, please
inform us about it, and let's try to get it in the official kernels. Can you
try booting the plain 2.4.27 and 2.6.8 debian official kernels (the latest
needs some mkvmlinuz invocation before it is usefull to you). That said, there
where a bunch of prep patches which got into the 2.6.8 kernel, so it may be
that it will work already.

Once we have a working kernel, we can go ahead and see if we can produce a
prep floppy set, but first we need a working kernel.

Also, did you try the netboot method with either : 

  
http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc/netboot/vmlinuz-prep.initrd

(i guess your box uses the prep boot, and not ppcbug), or :

  
http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc/netboot/2.4/vmlinuz-prep.initrd

the initrd size may be too big for your prep OF, and you may want to try :

  
http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc/netboot-minimal/2.4/vmlinuz-prep.initrd

Altough i believe that it doesn't contain yet the needed prep modules and
such, since it was hand-crafter for pegasos1, but i know there is also a
initrd size limit on some prep systems, which make the above system a good
guess.

Notice that d-i doesn't know about the prep boot partition yet, so you woukd
have to use manual intervention anyway.

two things are needed, i believe, a partman-prep, based on the partman-alto
.udeb, and a way to install the kernel, which probably means a new
prep-installer .udeb package. You are the best candidate to implement this,
since you have access to the hardware,and an interest ti make it happen. I am
sure we will allbe willing to help you out on this.

 Also, it works just fine on my 9500. I really need to test
 d-i on it one of these days as I need to change new disk
 in, as the old one makes horrible noise.

Bug#283104: Installation report on debian-installer

2004-11-26 Thread Brian Ruth
Package: installation-reports

Comments/Problems:

Trying to install debian-testing onto an IBM 7025-F40 (PowerPC PReP) system
using the debian-installer from:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/floppy-2.4/

This machine is rather esoteric and requires a specially patched kernel to
boot it; I'm therefore trying to install by booting from a floppy containing a
kernel with all the necessary drivers in it and then using the root.img root
disk from the above location (this is the method I used to install the machine
using the old Debian installation system). I use the following boot parameters:

console=ttyS0,9600 load_ramdisk=1 ramdisk_size=32768 root=/dev/fd0
debconf/priority=medium

This starts up OK and gets me into the installer menu; I can then configure
country, language and keyboard OK, and opt to load drivers from the
net-drivers.img disk. This also works, although it generates an error
complaining about not being able to load kernel modules (because I'm using my
own kernel); it nevertheless loads the next debian-installer components OK.

I can then follow through the installation, configuring my hardware and
specifying to use the ftp.uk.linux.org mirror (I've also tried it manually
specifying a mirror at www.mirroservice.org), partitioning disks, etc., and
installing the base system.

The 'install the base system' part works fine until it reaches the point at
which it tries to install a kernel. This fails, presumably because I'm using
my own kernel. The trouble is, I can't progress the installation any further
at this point - if I try to select any other option from the main menu, it
just tries to re-run the 'install base system' part again. There seems to be
no way out, and I'm left with an unbootable system.

Since I can't use one of the standard kernels on my system anyway, would it be
possible to have the 'install kernel' menu offer an option to 'not install a
kernel and skip this step' - I could then finish off the installation and
manually put in a kernel from floppy via the command line later on.

Weird hardware like this is never going to be straightforward, but at least
with the old install system I could get it working reasonably easily! ;-)

Let me know if you want the .config file for my custom kernel or the contents
of /var/log/messages from the broken install...

Thanks,

Brian.

Bug#283095: debian-installer: want to use preexisting partitions without data loss

2004-11-26 Thread Friedemann Schorer
Package: debian-installer
Severity: important

Hi!
I installed two machines recently and wasn't able to find a way to reuse
some linux partitions that existed from an earlier linux installation on
the same harddisk. This wasn't very problematic for me, but I guess
those who don't know linux good will have problems to find a solution
for this.

Everything else went smoothly with the two athlon machines I used the
installer on during the last week.

Best regards (and thanks fro your great work!)

Installation success on ThinkPad 600X

2004-11-26 Thread Thomas Hood
Last night I burned rc2 to a CD, planning to do a test install this
weekend.  This morning I did something dumb to my /etc/fstab rendering my
system unbootable so I did the install today instead.  No problem at all
installing to the spare partition (hda7) of my ThinkPad 600X laptop from
CD with network connection via Aironet 352 Wi-Fi card on a home WLAN with
a DHCP server.  :)  Kudos!

i would like to point out that the default kernel for powerpc is 2.6 and that 
the debian kernel packages for 2.6 need initrd support - so this is needed to 
be able to use the default debian kernels on oldworld (with a free 
bootloader).

so this quik is desirable for d-i, too.

no, but as far as i know the initrd code has "only" been tested  on three 
machines: ANS, pmac 4400 and pmac 7200. If you got access to another oldworld 
machine please test and report it.

yup! :-)

count my power tower pro in there - the one i'm typing from. also this
machine is booted from 2.6.8-powerpc, the debian one, and it booted with
an initrd very well, thank you very much ;). and i bet it will work the
same on my 8500, though that one is currently on the fritz.

of which i've downloaded the source and going to integrate into the
debian diff. i'm also going to bump the version to 2.1, since it has
these new changes in it. i think it warrants it, IMO.

Ah yes. Somehow i wasn't able to find that in the BTS (which takes some time
getting used to, but i'm working on it :-) ) Shouldn't this bug have been
tagged 'd-i'?

Actually I found the recipe quite usefull, especially because I intended to
split the rather large home partition later, using LVM. I would have loved
to set up the home partition as a PV, but it seems that partman doesn't know
anything about partition type 8e (Linux LVM) on bds disklables (is this a
known bug, too?. If not, do you want a full bugreport?).

But if you feel that "multi-user workstation" is useless and not going to be
fixed, why not remove it completely?

> Joey, can this be added to the RC2 errata for alpha if it isn't there already?

Where would I find this arc-specific errata? I was only able to find the
general one at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata

thanks for your effort,
Nils

Hi Martin, Hi All,

Here are a fresh batch of kernel packages to look at as per
the above. Please not that the file names are the same so look for
the files dated 26th November.

Note that the kernel-image package didn't change, other
than being rebuilt against the updated source so the
changelog is the same, although the compiled binraries differ.

If interested parties could take a look before I upload them I would
be grateful. Interested parties = anyone who wants to use a debian
2.4 kernel in sarge.

Goodies:
http://debian.vergenet.net/pending/kernel-source-2.4.27-2.4.27/
http://debian.vergenet.net/pending/kernel-image-2.4.27-i386-2.4.27/

Changes:

Comments/Problems:

1. During the package selection process, I chose File Server and also 
Manual Select (or whatever it is), which threw me into aptitude, which I 
have not used (I have been using dselect). So it was an 'unplanned 
surprise', and I had to carefully learn aptitude on-the-fly without 
messing up the last part of the install. Perhaps a user-choice here 
between manual using dselect or manual using aptitude, because this is 
the last part of the install and it would be sad to mess it up just 
because of not being familiar with aptitude. Anyway, it seems to have 
installed well for me, and must therefore be donkey-proof.

2. I originally chose 'manual' to unselect the exim package, as I don't 
need a mail-server, and could not find it in aptitude to unselect, so it 
probably installed it anyway. The base system configuration menu asked 
me to configure the MTA. I just chose 'no configure at this time', then 
later uninstalled exim4 with dselect. Perhaps a specific user choice as 
to whether a mail service is required.

3. I saw some hda IDE0 timeout/crc errors during boot when reiserfs was 
playing the transaction log, but this could be my hardware, which is 
very old. They dissappeared when I turned off the cpu overclocking in 
the BIOS. Looks like 2.6.8.1 might not like overclocking. 2.4.18-bf2.4 
didnt mind it.

4. I though it odd that appletalk is installed by default as I have 
never used it myself. I killed it and its modules with dselect. Perhaps 
a user-choice if the user selects fileserver in tasksel?

5. It went very smoothly for me. The Debian U.S. mirror was down, and, 
for a while, it looked like an installer script had hung. I ctrl-C'd 
out, changed to the kernel.org mirror, and went along without problems. 
Perhaps a timeout to tell user that the mirror, not the installed, is 
dead. Perhaps a sig trap for people like me who Ctrl-C out of a script 
to see if the mirror had been contacted at all, and, if not, to ask for 
another mirror.
