One specific thing: the documentation for AMD64 recommends / have a size of 150-250MB. On my Toshiba desktop, this resulted in warnings that I had used up available space as soon as the machine was booted, even though I asked for 350MB. Perhaps you might suggest to the installation guide authors that they check this number. I'm forwarding this to the debian-boot list. I know there has been some discussion on that list about the appropriate sizes for root in a "modern" installation. I suspect the recommendations in the install guide go back quite a ways -- Sarge or even earlier... Enjoy!

Nightly builds - EFI boot is broken, grub2 - the monitor out of sync
Hi Everybody, I tried to install Wheezy, the nightly and weekly builds on a system with UEFI bios yesterday and unfortunately it failed. Based on messages I got it seems that the kernel in the UEFI image doesn't match the additional kernel modules. When I used the latest Beta, it worked. The second issue I had was that the grub2 set the LCD monitor out of sync and there was no way to continue with the installation. At the end I edited the ISO image in a binary editor and changed in boot/grub/grub.cfg the line "set gfxmode=auto" to "set gfxmode=800x600" and it worked. Fortunately, there are enough spaces in the original grub.cfg file; you are clever guys ;-). The grub2 in the current Fedora 18 doesn't have such problems, so I suspect that some patches in the mode setting code might be missing, just guessing.

Why can this clear bug in the squeeze > installation-guide not be fixed there? In the past, it was often told on debian-boot, that such reports regarding the stable installation-guide will probably not going to be fixed. This may be because of lack of manpower - debian-boot is low on man power and there are very few people caring about the installation-guide. And IMHO: as we are now in freeze for the next debian release already, it's even more unlikely someone cares about the 'old' installation-guide. There is not enough manpower to maintain the actual installation-guide (see the bugs in BTS regarding installation-guide for years), so why working on the old one? Most probably not much people will ever notice ... It would be glad if I were wrong. We will see...

'reopen' may be inappropriate when a bug has been closed with a version;
all fixed versions will be cleared, and you may need to re-add them.

Automatically created root partition seems to be quite small
[Please CC me, I'm not subscribed] Hi, my son and me independently installed two boxes with the recent Wheezy beta installer. Everything went smooth so far - thanks for your fine work. However, I might like to question the choice of the automatically suggested size for the root partition (when always just pressing ). We both ended up with something that easily fills up for some kind of "not very specific" installation. I do not have direct access to his box but mine looks like $ LANG=C df -h | grep rootfs rootfs 331M 307M 7.5M 98% / after installing the set of packages I used on the box before. IMHO the dir $ LANG=C du -hs /lib/modules 200M/lib/modules is responsible for the problem because by doing simple apt-get dist-upgrade you can end up with some kernel package installed in parallel and an unexperienced user hardly will easily cope with the problem if its third kernel package will not simply install any more. Sorry if this was just reported, I'm not reading this list. If not I can easily turn this into a bug report in case you agree that this is a problem that should be dealt with.

G'day Actually FreBSD 9.1 will contain update 'mfi' driver code which largely expands the support for MegaRAID drivers. (confirmed witha 9.1-RC3 media) It might be interesting for you to boo a native FreeBSD ISO of this version to see if your controller is recognized by this mfi module. (use "pciconf -lvb | grep mfi" and "mfiutil show adapter" to check) I'm actually in a similar situation with another FreeBSD derived OS (pfSense) if you can go with a kernel based on 9.1, you'll likely be in a better starting position. -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
