Bug#508042: How to work this around?
[Christian Perrier] In my opinion, the only way to work around this bug is by shortening down the wording of the debconf template *drastically* The English screenshot posted in the bug report shows there is room for improvement, imho. Proposals are most welcome. The current text is the short version of the short version of the original text, so it has already been compressed quite a bit. The goal of the text is to provide enought information for new users to make an informed choice and not having to consult the documentation to understand what to select. And, yes, that will require translation updates..:-( Yeah. It will involve getting a lot of people to transalte in time for a new release. :( Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#509662: graphical splash screen not iLO compatible
Package: debian-installer When the Debian installer is booted (either from CD or netboot), it displays a graphical splash screen (splash.rle) When someone is accessing a server remotely using a HP iLO, they may not have the iLO licensed for graphical modes (extra license fees have to be paid to HP) Alternatively, someone may be using a serial port for remote access (e.g. through a Cisco 2511 with multiple async ports) Therefore, it would be desirable to have one of these options: - a non-graphical variation of the install CD - a pause before entering graphical mode, with the user having the chance to press a key choosing non-graphical install - no use of graphics until the user has explicitly agreed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

This modprobe should also be carried over to the installed system afterwards. I'm willing to test any temporary images (preferably netboot images) as soon as possible. [Forwarding to debian-b...@lists.debian.org] Why not (also) reassign the BR to debian-installer? Can that be considered for rc2? Theoretically that would still be possible, but it is extremely late in the day for such a change, especially without any detailed info about how *exactly* this should be implemented. Questions that come to mind are: - why doesn't the kernel/udev autoload this module? - is there any way to recognize whether the module should be loaded or not (most hppa installs are headless)? - if it's decided to load the module unconditionally for the installer, it may still be possible to only do so when needed for the installed system; can this be recognized somehow? - is loading the module for the installed system needed for the initrd too (would be my guess), or just for the final system? We have repeatedly indicated in the debian-hppa list that the D-I team needs porter support and this is *exactly* the kind of issue for which knowledgable porter support is needed. I even had a long discussion with Helge himself about that. As this issue has been known for ages my first reaction is that it is too late for RC2 and for Lenny. However, *if* porters work with the D-I team to get the questions above answered the change could be implemented early for squeeze and, after testing, it could then be considered for backporting for a stable update release.

Re: Opening trunk for post-lenny changes?
On Wednesday 24 December 2008, Christian Perrier wrote: About Colin's remarks, my personal opinion is that it could be time to resync the lenny branch with trunk and work off that lenny branch, yes. Definitely, even. If the team would like me to I'm willing to do the sync. It's 100% clear to me what is targeted for Lenny and thus what still needs syncing. That way we could IMO open up trunk for post-lenny commits and re-enable l10n syncs even without waiting for Otavio's return from VAC. Of course I'd take responsibility for any mistakes and do any clean ups if it should later turn out any would be needed.

On installation media and firmware [Re: New section for firmware]
Switching from -vote to -boot and -cd.

Second of all, the analysis for the impact on installations of firmware and why the D-I team would very much prefer to have any firmware included both on official CD images and in other D-I images (such as netboot, floppy and hd-media) has already been done and posted by Joey Hess ages ago and discussed repeatedly, both on the debian-boot list and on d-vote, and I'm quite certain also on d-project and/or d-devel. I don't think there's any argument against having firmware in a limited set of CD images and other d-i media which we distribute like we distribute non-free. Furthermore, the major portion of what I suggested doing has not been discussed recently on -project or -devel TTBOMK. It's a pity that we seem to need to explain this over and over again in random threads. It would be nice if you (or someone else) would then explain[1] why having a limited set of d-i images + cd images which contained the non-free firmware necessary for certain hardware to boot would be an intractable solution. From where I sit, the major issues with it would be: 1. Additional testing required 2. Increase in cdimage mirror utilization 3. Work to actual implement it I submit that the additional testing for #1 will be required when the firmware is placed on the images, regardless of whether we produce images not containing it, so the major burden of testing here seems to be to check that the firmware-related codepaths are only triggered when the firmware is there. #2 should be on the order of a few gigabytes, which is dwarfed by the increase in the size of the installation sets from version to version. [If our mirror operators will have problems with this, we've got far more serious ones.] #3 is what it is.

Bug#509238: panic backtrace
Quoting: Christian Perrier bubu...@debian.org So, in short, in regular mode, it crashes (always at the same place) but in vga=771 mode, it doesn't, right? Correct. And I assume that you get no crash as well if you're using the graphical installer. I had not tried the graphical installer, figuring that the more basic the better, but I just did. It appears that just before going to graphical, the installer puts the screen in mode 771. I get the smaller, sharper fonts. So, no. It doesn't crash in the graphical installer. BTW, the graphical installer looks good! I'm puzzled to reassign this bug report. This is obviously a race condition somewhere. Probably a weird kernel issue but investigating further istricky and I fear that this bug report might remain uninvestigated further for quite a while until it magically solves in the future with a new kernel (though probably not for Lenny). That's probably the reasonable thing to do. I propose documenting this in the errata file, at the minimum. Yes. A prominent (easy to find) note that would say something like If your laptop crashes completely during installation, try replacing the boot option vga=normal with vga=771 or use the graphical installer would have saved some time, but then the problem would not have become known.
