This looks like some simple error, where is the distribution selected really? Could this have something to do with my custom kernel? Ahh. I now see you ended up using a CF flash card for installation. In that case, you need the iso-scan module which is available in the hd-media installation method. That will perform the scan you expected and set mirror/suite for you. Aha. Unfortunately, I cannot find the hd-media installation method for ARM. I'll check this myself later, but is this a script which I can copy from another architecture or must it be built for ARM? Some other questions / comments: Is there a problem storing the .iso on the same disk as the distribution is installed on? I'm suspecting that when the installation will fail on the reboot, since I guess I won't be able to mount the Debian initrd (no cramfs patch) afterwards.

Unfortunately, I cannot find the hd-media installation method for ARM. I'll check this myself later, but is this a script which I can copy from another architecture or must it be built for ARM? Well, the required udebs, iso-scan and load-iso, are architecture 'all', so maybe you can copy them manually and 'udpkg -i filename' them. You should run in expert mode, so you can select them from the menu instead of the CD-ROM related steps. If you want a look at the source, see the d-i subversion repository (packages/iso-scan). Building hd-media for ARM would require changes to the configuration of the build system. I'm unsure what exactly would be needed for that. Is there a problem storing the .iso on the same disk as the distribution is installed on? Same disk is no problem, but same partition is: the partition to which the system is installed should normally be formatted and should be unmounted. I'm suspecting that when the installation will fail on the reboot, since I guess I won't be able to mount the Debian initrd (no cramfs patch) afterwards. Not all initrds use cramfs, some use ext2.

Re: [d-i manual] I would like to have a german version on the sarge cd
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Sunday 05 December 2004 02:09, Holger Wansing wrote: I want to ask for the german manual to be included in the sarge branch/on the cd. The translation is so far finished, that only architecture-specific files are untranslated, so I think it would be a benefit for the sarge release. I will leave the decision on this to Joey Hess as he is best able to judge the implications. Currently the German translation is at 85% (which is pretty good!). Personally I feel at least all 'i386' architecture specific files should be translated before inclusion on the CD, which would mean translation of the following files: - - preparing/nondeb-part/i386.xml - - partitioning/partition/i386.xml - - using-d-i/modules/i386/lilo-installer.xml - - using-d-i/modules/i386/grub-installer.xml In the mean time I have changed the setting for German so the unofficial build for the website will be for all architectures instead of only i386. Please check the build log very carefully next time for any warnings! In the time remaining until the official release I would manage to get many (if not all) of the outstanding untranslated documents translated. Note that you do not have the time to the next release, but only to the next build of the initrds for the installer, as building the manual is part of that process. This will be a lot sooner than the date of the release of Sarge. AFAIK, this date for the next build of the initrds has not yet been decided.

Bug#284335: Should explain CD installation with floppy boot better
Package: debian-installer-manual The current text in para 5.1.1 (boot-installer/intro-cd.xml) tells the user to point the installation system at the CD-ROM drive. It would be better to explicitly explain that, after a floppy boot and loading the cd-drivers floppy, the installer will continue from CD automatically. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Well, the required udebs, iso-scan and load-iso, are architecture 'all', so maybe you can copy them manually and 'udpkg -i filename' them. You should run in expert mode, so you can select them from the menu instead of the CD-ROM related steps. I tried installing iso-scan and load-iso, and I've managed to install them on the second virtual terminal (for some reason, they won't install when I execute a shell, it's also somewhat unstable ). When doing this, I get a sucessfully mounted testing installer from my HD partition. It seems like this works, at least I can check the integrity of the CD. However, after the check, the image was again unmounted (I got messages from the CD-detection). Also, I still get the /cdrom/dists//Release problem after this.

Re: software raid and lvm in preseed

Tell journalists about rc2?
Hi d-i developers! A couple of month ago, during the CeBIT here in Germany, some journalists from the magazine ix [1] (a bigger it magazine, targeting the more professional users and developers) visited our Debian booth, and took a look at the snapshot of the debian installer we showed (I think it was beta2?). They were impressed, but disliked to hear, that it was still a beta version. However, they promissed, that if we get a stable Version, they would test it, and probaly write an article about it (I understood that probaly as that's quite sure). Now that you made the second release candidate, of which I heard, it might become the one on the final sarge images (if sarge get's ever stable). So I wonder, if this is the right moment, to get in contact with those journalists, telling them, about rc2, and about all those nice features it has. Since I just used it a bit, and don't follow your work more closely, I ask for your opinion about that matter. Yours sincerely, Alexander Links: 1: http://www.ix.de/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Could not detect 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. The network, sound, video and USB drivers are all working and the Firewire controller is recognised. --- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I've added a little note on this in the FAQ for the Installer [1]. However, IMHO this looks more like a good workaround rather than a real solution. I guess eventually the kernel should also be able to handle the cables being connected to the nVIDIA connectors. Questions: - Can you also install using the 2.4 kernel with this solution? - Do you have Windows installed and, if so, can you still boot that after swapping the cables?

Are you installing from CD, or from netboot? loading Install-Modules via NetBoot is a nonsensical statement and I don't want to try to guess what you mean by it. I tried to install via all available methods. The only way to was to use NetBoot while NetBooting from outdated Mirror (witch is current by now). As far i can understand once i configure Network in NetBoot method (i done it by loading Tulip driver manually in Execute Shell) and Define Mirror Installer tries to download and then load additional Modules. If i wrong correct me. Only after doing those steps i was able to see anything in /dev/ide and /dev/cdrom, till then it was empty. The only difference i noticed is that lsmod showed ide-genric module loaded. (I tried to load it manually before NetBootingand modprobe told me that this module is absent). I think current kernels in Sarge faulty and can't work with IDE devices. Or/And D-I initrd not contains modules needed for working with IDE devices. My sparc has an IDE hard drive and CD drive and it works fine with rc2 and every daily build since. I think we need more information about your problem to help you. Please describe exactly what you did and the exact text of any error messages you saw. I think so only because i used the same install media and the same machine all the times i tried to install debian and the only thing that changed was debian's release version of the same kernel. The problem in install image is regarding IDE functionality described above. The problem on kernel installed on target is like that: -KLOG_START- Linux version 2.6.8-1-sparc64 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-2)) #1 Sun Nov 28 00:18:17 EST 2004 ARCH: SUN4U Ethernet address: 00:03:ba:68:2b:57 Built 1 zonelists Kernel command line: root=/dev/hdc2 ro PID hash table entries: 4096 (order 12: 65536 bytes) Console: colour dummy device 80x25 Dentry cache hash table entries: 131072 (order: 7, 1048576 bytes) Inode-cache hash table entries: 65536 (order: 6, 524288 bytes) Memory: 1027264k available (1992k kernel code, 600k data, 152k init) [f800,5fec8000] Calibrating delay loop... 1089.53 BogoMIPS Mount-cache hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 8192 bytes) checking if image is initramfs...it isn't (ungzip failed); looks like an initrd Freeing initrd memory: 3432k freed NET: Registered protocol family 16

There is image for Woody, but isn't for Sarge. I built tftp image on other machine using catsboot, but it is better to provide official cats boot image. Hmm, d-i manual said there was /debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-arm/current/cats/tftpboot.img, but there wasn't. Is this build system issue? - This machine has S3 Trio64, but VGA16FB shows broken screen (shows green vertical bar only). I added video=vga16:off, but it causes empty screen. I tried to change video card to S3 968, but result is same. Woody installer (it hasn't FB) can show me colorful normal screen. Finally I used serial cable (console=ttyS0) and English locale. It's not so big problem, but is VGA16FB really needed for arm machines? - DECchip 21140 won't be found by discover. I choose 'tulip' by hand, then it was detected... but tulip driver seems buggy. I tried DHCP or static IP, but I couldn't connect other hosts. Additional NIC, RTL8139 is found and works (unfortunatelly CATS couldn't boot up from this NIC...). FYI, de4x5 driver (this driver isn't included in d-i) works partially, but this driver is buggy also. Connection often down with silence. Netwinder kernel problem? - There is no description/structure about booting from CATS. I did things by hand: Run shell, chroot /target, apt-get install catsboot, catsboot /boot/cats.bin /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-netwinder. It is better to include catsboot in install-packages. It is best to create cats boot binary on d-i boot-loader menu. - This machine often hung-up, but it becomes good after I enabled IDE DMA.
