Bug#283769: loads wrong modile for hppa ethernet
Package: discover1-data Severity: important Tags: d-i In two installation reports, we see problems with common decchip cards on hppa and discover1. In #282814, hw-detect has to prompt for the ethernet driver to load since discover1 tells it to load de4x5, which is not available in the d-i initrd. In #283754, the 2.4 kernel, which has tulip built in, crashes when discover loads de4x5 over top of it during second stage boot. It really looks like de4x5 is not the right module to load on hppa at all, and also it seems that the cards affected are very common on hppa systems. According to others, de4x5 _is_ the right thing to load, for the same PCI ids on other arches like alpha. This is a mess. Can discover's behavior be made to vary by architecture in any sane way, and if not is there any reasonable way to hack it into doing the right thing? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#283677: installation-reports
Hi folks, I think that option will disable the dhcp, whether that fixes your kernel hang, which is likely due to busted hardware, or a kernel network driver bug, I don't know. Try it and let us know. I tried the old Suse7.0 (2.2.16) which ist still on the harddisk and produced some heavy loads and transferred some 100Megs over the DC21140-network-card. It did not show any signs of disfunction. cheers, simon signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Bug#248855: Still problems with USB keyoard on SunBlade 150 / sparc64
Due to the rc2 and upcoming final version of Debian Installer I decided to test whether my old bug report #248855 has been taken into account. Alas, it has not. Today I tried two CD images, without success: http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/sparc/20041130/sarge-sparc-businesscard.iso http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/sparc/rc2/sarge-sparc-businesscard.iso This is an old probem which plagues the d-i, please see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=248855 Briefly: after booting the SunBlade 150, main screen of d-i is shown (aka Choose language), but the keyboard doesn't work. Looks like a Sun keyboard is auto-selected, but this is wrong - it should be USB keyboard. I know, this is impolite, but recently I downloaded a livecd for Gentoo 2004.3 installer, and guess what - everything works. So, it is possible to install Linux on SunBlade 150 in a normal way. Just please tell me, why, for over half of a year (!), this does not apply to Debian??? I begin to loose hope. This bug is a regression - I have an old working copy of d-i's CD image (as described in the above bug report), so once in a time d-i was working correctly for me. Why do you, great Debian/sparc developers, do this? How can one claim to have another stable release when IT DOESN'T INSTALL on a new (?) hardware? Could anybody kindly help me, please?

questions for kernel-team (fwd)
I sent this to the bug where I found the issue mentioned, but that didn't replicate the message to debian-boot. I'm sending here because it's an issue more related to the installer. -- Forwarded message -- To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello this issue (ide=nodma boot time option does not work) is blocking a possible workaround for a number of other bug reports (all to do with DMA errors mucking up the cdrom-detect and/or cdrom-retriever steps of the installation from netinst). Example bugs: 265636, 258316, 250323, maybe 283016. This issue is still present in i386 RC2 netinst, I tried booting with linux ide=nodma expert ide=nodma linux26 ide=nodma and in all cases the installer failed as in 265636, with dma errors when trying to access the package pool. I also tried giving the nodma option to the ide-cd module in when loading it in the expert mode. This too was ignored. Could someone on the team briefly explain why ide=nodma is disabled? Is it that turning off dma does not work reliably? If yes, then what do you think the negative effects would be of setting CONFIG_IDEDMA_ONLYDISK=y ? Before resigning from Debian, Herbert Xu was considering turning this on (#250323). Also, it appears that CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y and if so is that a good idea when trying to support older h/w? This close to release, I would not normally bring up changing the kernel config, except that these bugs seem to occur on older Dell hardware fairly often. So there may be a fairly large potential user base affected. Kind regards Vince -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There are several possible reasons for this: - badly burned image: check the md5sum of the CD - broken hardware - problems in the driver used for reading the CD - problems in the communications with the CD This could be a DMA problem (which we see quite often); you could try giving the following command from VT2: echo using_dma:0 /proc/ide/hdx/settings replacing 'hdx' with the device for your CD drive. Also check if you can read the file /cdrom/.disk/base_components; this file should contain one line with the word 'main'.

However, as soon as some English is changed in the manual, there's of course no permission to request for updating translations. Frans, do you agree with that interpretation? To be honest I'm not sure how the manual should be maintained after the branching. Maybe we should discuss our options; I'll give a start below. Comments very welcome. For the English original I feel that for the time being most changes in trunk could safely go to the Sarge branch: there are plenty of improvements possible that are relevant for Sarge, including the planned reorganization of Chapter 2 (which I plan to start this weekend). I would not like to discourage changes relevant for Sarge by focussing on post-Sarge too soon and IMHO maintaining two versions is way to complicated and too much work (which would discourage work on the manual even more). The only changes to the manual that should not go into the Sarge branch would be those relating to post-sarge development, like localechooser. I would suggest we postpone making these changes for the time being In some cases, we could even consider documenting both the old and new way d-i works by adding notes. Translations that have been officially included (es, fr, ja, pt_BR, sp) === For these any changes made in the Sarge branch in the English docs should preferably be translated as well. If translations are out-of-date (like pt_BR currently), I guess it would be good update these in both branches. All other translations == These are only shown on the d-i manual website. As these translations are build from trunk, I see no advantage in updating these translations in the Sarge branch, as there would be risks in including extra translations on the CD's in later builds. In fact, it would probably be safer to delete these languages in the Sarge branch. At some future time, when d-i really starts to diverge from it's Sarge version, this proposed policy should of course be reconsidered. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBrd8Vgm/Kwh6ICoQRAsmvAKDS9EthIFmJmlGGY2RIocv9x3h2/wCfYcIB dj9C3l/HIDBaeaq/RU1EARU= =p9gG -END PGP SIGNATURE-

In most cases this list will contain all partition tables and because of that it will be less informative. I don't follow this. You read the partition table, modify the type for one partition type, write it back. This should not change the rest of the partitions, or it is a RC parted bug, and your duty is to fill a bug report about this. I think I can take the partition type from the structures of parted but I wonder the format of these structures can change in future versions of parted. not withtout an api change. And anyway, we don't care, just automatically do a set_system_type when formatting, and everything should be fine.

Re: Debian Installer Manual Translations (was: repository branched for sarge)
For the English original I feel that for the time being most changes in trunk could safely go to the Sarge branch: there are plenty of improvements possible that are relevant for Sarge, including the planned reorganization of Chapter 2 (which I plan to start this weekend). I would not like to discourage changes relevant for Sarge by focussing on post-Sarge too soon and IMHO maintaining two versions is way to complicated and too much work (which would discourage work on the manual even more). The only changes to the manual that should not go into the Sarge branch would be those relating to post-sarge development, like localechooser. I fully agree with that view (and *not* only because this allows me to avoid writing documentation for localechooser). There is no urgent need for updates relevant to new material as we will probably be still focused on the sarge version for some time after the release of no-name-yet. All other translations == These are only shown on the d-i manual website. As these translations are build from trunk, I see no advantage in updating these translations in the Sarge branch, as there would be risks in including extra translations on the CD's in later builds. In fact, it would probably be safer to delete these languages in the Sarge branch. Supported as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Bug#282632: Automated Polish install hangs as well
Where does pl.po claim that? I'm pretty sure I set iso-8859-2 in every my translation. In the header: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1\n I corrected this this morning in both branches. I did not put the Closes line in the changelog because I haven't tested whether this fixes the bug or not. That problem is tricky to find as it seems to happen only on automated installs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#275006: Bug fixed for me in linux26 netinst 20041130
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 12:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bug#275006: Bug fixed for me in linux26 netinst 20041130 Just to confirm that netinst cd works now on my Dell 1400SC. I used daily cd image 20041130. The AIC7xxx module works and SCSI disk is found. I just ran the installer and rebooted after installation, now installin desktop environment and printer server. I'm running a Dell Precision 670 workstation, and my hard drive aic79xx still isn't recognized by the installer. According to /var/log/messages, there were no errors insmoding the aic79xx module, but the only drive that showed up for partitioning is the hd-media usb drive that I booted from. This is the result from the rc2 netinst image and the 20041130 daily image using the 2.6 kernel. With the 2.4 kernel, the aic79xx module won't even insmod. Aside from that the only difference I've encountered between the rc2 and 20041130 daily is that the 20041130 won't correctly find my ethernet card--Allied Telesyn AT-2700FTX--while the rc2 will.

This card (Crystal 4237B chip, onboard) is run of the mill. In my view this looks awfully bad. 2) Install document does not match scope of a normal desktop install. My error (skipped a page) led to X being misconfigured. I noticed that while D-I DOES INSTALL X, KDE, Gnome, the corresponding install document ( http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/index.html ) stops at the base install, and of course does not mention how to replay the install scripts after the base install. Considering that the installer DOES NOT STOP at the base system, it would be awfully nice if a - instructions on at least installing X and sound were included in the install document itself; b - commands were spelled out for retrying from a running machine the same install scripts that pop up automatically in the installer. For example, if tarzeau hadn't pointed me to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 on IRC, I would NOT have found it in the documentation, and I would probably had either retried a full install or drifted to a less noble distro. Very bad for marketing, especially considering how awfully good hardware recognition has become these days. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

FWD: r24093 - in trunk/installer: build/config build/config/hppa build/config/hppa/netboot debian
The patch below is in d-i's trunk, but not sarge branch, and adds 2.6 netboot images for hppa. I have tried both the new 2.6 images and 2.4 images and they work (well, 2.6 installs but fails to boot the installed system on my a500, unrelated I think). I'd like to commit this to the sarge branch, but want to get some review of it first. Note that it does change the filename of the 2.4 netboot image on hppa, moving it into a subdirectory. I could skip including that change, but I don't think anything says the exact directory the image is in, and so I hope this is a safe change to make. - Forwarded message from Joey Hess [EMAIL PROTECTED] - From: Joey Hess [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2004 03:45:12 -0700 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: r24093 - in trunk/installer: build/config build/config/hppa build/config/hppa/netboot debian Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Author: joeyh Date: Wed Dec 1 03:44:38 2004 New Revision: 24093 Added: trunk/installer/build/config/hppa/netboot/2.6.cfg Modified: trunk/installer/build/config/hppa.cfg trunk/installer/build/config/hppa/netboot.cfg trunk/installer/debian/changelog Log: - Add 2.6 netboot initrds for hppa.

In many cases this means that partman will have to write unchanged partition tables. In order to fix #238388 (i.e. partman allows user to make changes in partition tables that are used by the kernel) partman has to know which operations change the partition table and disallow them. However even in this case it will have to write the unchanged partition tables because some some partition type may have changed without its knowledge. :( This should not change the rest of the partitions, or it is a RC parted bug, and your duty is to fill a bug report about this. Ah, I see. It changes only the type of the partitions that have set_system_type. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#283769: loads wrong modile for hppa ethernet
FWIW, I'm in the process of adding some ugly hacks to hw-detect to make it fall back to tulip if the other module is not on the initrd. In that case it will also blacklist the de4x5 module to avoid discover1 loading it in the second stage, and will add tulip to /etc/modules. I think this should fix all the hppa problems while not having any effect on any arch does have de4x5 in udebs. A better fix in discover would be appreciated, since that's an ugly hack. Perhaps discover needs a way to override modules on an arch specific basis. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#282650: default gateway also incorrect
FWIW, this is all due to netcfg calculating default values for these things based on the ip address and other info. It's tricky to do that and allow for preseeding too; one way would be for netcfg to skip changing the values if the question already has a non-empty value. It's possible this would lead to issues when re-doing the network configuration though. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Thats why you proposed that partman Well, if you look at the current process : 1) you do all the partition table stuff in memory. 2) once you hit finished (or you go into the raid or lvm menu), the partition table is written to disk. 3) the partitions who are formated are actually formatted. The only addition would be to do, in addition to 3), a writing of the partition type to the partition entry in the partition table, and everything would be fine. We do know that the partition is changed, we don't care about what parted things about the partition, since parted ignores the partition table contained type, and does physical probing, which may or may not be correct. the firmware does need to know about the partition type though, so we make sure it is always correct for all partitions that *WE* do write. writes the partition table if it contains formatted partition (or partition with phisical volume for RAID or LVM). In many cases this means that partman will have to write unchanged partition tables. So what ? At worst we allow it only for partition tables we know are not broken ?

Bug#261100: go back problem is just papered over, still exists
On Fri, Jul 23, 2004 at 12:19:32PM -0400, Joey Hess wrote: Package: partman Severity: normal Tags: d-i - Add confirmation dialog for the Back button of the main partitioning menu. Thanks to Yann Dirson, closes: #241476. This dialog is very annoying, manages to be quite confusing IMHO in its wording, and is really just papering over a still existing problem, which is that backing up from the main menu should return to autopartitioning, like bug #241476 originally said. I guess this dialog is annoying only for the testers of partman not for the users. It contains helpfull information (acording to some installation reports). If the backing up from the main menu returns to autopartitioning then there has to be a separate menu-item in order to exit partman without making any changes to the disks. So how about returning this dialog (it was removed in version 56 of partman), rewording it and closing the bug?

Bug#283861: typo in dhcp.c: adhoc - ad-hoc
Package: netcfg Version: 1.07 Severity: important There seems to be a typo in dhcp.c line 52 (function netcfg_write_dhcp): a hyphen is missing in ad-hoc. 52c52 (mode == MANAGED) ? managed : ad-hoc); --- (mode == MANAGED) ? managed : adhoc); Furthermore the essid does not get written to /etc/network/interfaces. Instead it simply writes any although the code seems to be there (line 53). Tested with the d-i netinst-cd 2004-11-30. This bug is a duplicate of bug# 282407 which is clone of an installation report and therefore lacks clarity. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Debian Installer Manual Translations (was: repository branched for sarge)

If translations are out-of-date (like pt_BR currently), I guess it would be good update these in both branches. All other translations == These are only shown on the d-i manual website. As these translations are build from trunk, I see no advantage in updating these translations in the Sarge branch, as there would be risks in including extra translations on the CD's in later builds. In fact, it would probably be safer to delete these languages in the Sarge branch. But the install manual used on the official Debian website will surely be built from the sarge branch when the time comes; even if these languages don't make it onto the CDs, we'd just have to add them back to the sarge branch later for the website maintenance, no? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I noticed that while D-I DOES INSTALL X, KDE, Gnome, the corresponding install document ( http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/index.html ) stops at the base install, and of course does not mention how to replay the install scripts after the base install. Considering that the installer DOES NOT STOP at the base system, it would be awfully nice if a - instructions on at least installing X and sound were included in the install document itself; b - commands were spelled out for retrying from a running machine the same install scripts that pop up

Bug#282650: default gateway also incorrect
Quoting Paul Telford ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): On Wed, 1 Dec 2004, Joey Hess wrote: FWIW, this is all due to netcfg calculating default values for these things based on the ip address and other info. It's tricky to do that and allow for preseeding too; So the comments in the example preseed file[1] which say If you prefer to configure the network manually, here's how are essentially meaningless? Why is there even an option if it is going to be ignored? Be cause bugs exist..:-) The preseed code is fairly new (late July) and though it was intensively tested, it has been tested by only a few people...none of them using fixed address settings in their test environments. This is certainly too bad, but this is a common problem in the installer development, unfortunately... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#283595: SOLVED: Dual SATA controllers on GA-K8NS Pro
Hmmm, you should have kept the original bug number of your install report in copy. Doing so, and keeping your whole answer. Quoting Norval Watson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): The Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro motherboard has four points you can plug a SATA drive cable. They are SATA0_SB and SATA1_SB, both controlled by the onboard nVIDIA nForce3 250 chipset. I tried one of these and had no luck with 2.6 kernel, sarge i386 or sid-amd64, detecting my Seagate ST380013AS SATA drive. Then there are SATA0_SII and SATA1_SII, both controlled by the built-in Silicon Image Sil3512 chipset. I swapped the cable into SATA0_SII socket and rebooted. Straight away the drive was detected: scsi3 : sata_sil Vendor: ATA Model: ST380013ASRev: 3.18 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 SCSI device sda: 156299375 512-byte hdwr sectors (80025 MB) SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back /dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p5 p6 p7 p8 p9 Attached scsi disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 I am able to mount the drive. Have you tried modprobe sata_sil in console 2 when you're notified the no hard disk found ? Thanks Christian. Sata_sil module was loading, as was sata_nv, I also saw something to do with nv_sata in dmesg.. One more thing. There is no need to reinstall your system again (apart from testing if it works). You can go into single user mode and copy (tar | tar or rsync or whatever you prefer) the old system to the new disk, change the bootloader config and mkinitrd config, run mkinitrd and (for lilo) reinstall the bootloader by chrooting to the new disk. Thanks Goswin. Does 'single user mode' mean become root? I will have to look for a tutorial coz I am almost out of my depth here. First up I will copy the boot disk (2GB ATA) to the new SATA disk. I am using GRUB. Thanks again, However, we still need to know whether the installer automatically detects your SATA drive with your new hardware layout. Can you at least try to boot again the installer CD and go up to the disk partitioning step? This is non destructive as the only need is knowing whether the installer detects a disk or not. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
