uname -a: Linux qo29 2.6.7-1-386 #1 Thu Jul 8 05:08:04 EDT 2004 i686 unknown

Date: 16:00 Mon Aug 30 2004
Method: burned isos to CD, booted from CD. For businesscard image used us Debian miror

Machine: QSOL 2U
Processor: dual Opteron
Memory: 8GB
Root Device: SCSI (actually 3ware raid controller)
Root Size/partition table:  /dev/sda1 ext3 /boot (50 MB)
/dev/sda2 ext3 / (120 GB)
/dev/sda3 swap   (4 GB)
Output of lspci and lspci -n: lspci doesn't exist (/target/bin/lspci is
  a link to /usr/bin/lspci which doesn't exist)

Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot worked:[ O ]
Configure network HW:   [ O ]
Config network: [ O ]
Detect CD:  [ O ]
Load installer modules: [ O ]
Detect hard drives: [ O ]
Partition hard drives:  [ O ]
Create file systems:[ O ]
Mount partitions:   [ O ]
Install base system:[ E ]
Install boot loader:[ ]
Reboot: [ ]

Comments/Problems:

Errors out on base install from both images.
On the 3rd console I get:

setting up base config (2.40.3) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 exim4-daemon-light
 at
 exim4
 exim4-config
 mailx
 exim4-base
umount /target/dev/pts Invalid argument
umount /target/dev/shm Invalid argument
umount /target/proc/bus/usb Invalid argument

If I scroll back I see that those are all dependency problems.  exim4-config
fails with:

error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls.so.10: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

and the rest of them fail because of exim4-config.

On the plus side, it does have the tg3 driver which can successfully
detect and configure the Broadcom gigabit NICs on this motherboard.

Bug#245552: sarge installer error

2004-04-23 Thread Frank Smith
Package: installation-reports

Debian-installer-version: 4-23-04 
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/beta3/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
uname -a: Linux qo10 2.4.25-1-386 #1 Tue Feb 24 08:11:13 EST 2004 i686 unknown
Date: 4-23-04 
Method: Boot from CD

Machine: Description of machine (eg, IBM Thinkpad R32)
Processor: Dual AMD Opteron
Memory: 8GB
Root Device: SATA  Name of device? ?? Sil 3114 SATA controller chip
Root Size/partition table: could not see SATA disk to partition it
Output of lspci: can't run lspci

Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked:[O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network: [O]
Detect CD:  [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [E]
Partition hard drives:  [ ]

Mount partitions:   [ ]
Install base system:[ ]
Install boot loader:[ ]
Reboot: [ ]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:

Somewhat detects existence of SATA disk, claims it needs ide-scsi
module which doesn't exist, then goes to partion page with a blank
default menu entry, hitting enter just returns to same page.
   Also tried hooking up an external USB drive, bios sees that OK,
installer doesn't recognize it (even using ALT-F2 and loading
sd_mod there was still no /dev/sd.
   Since SATA systems have become mainstream, support for this is
really needed (the MS-Windows folks here just laughed and said
that they could install Windows on the same system without problems).
