Re: Preseeding dictionaries selection

Bug#366336: d-i adding extra kernel command line parameters -- BOOT_I
Please close this bug, since it's a feature, not a bug: the text -- BOOT_IMAGE=full/path/to/the/kernel-image is added to the kernel command line. The fact that it's truncated at 256 characters, is probably due to the used bootloader. Sincerely, Jan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Strange apt problem
Hi All, probably not for debian-installer, but since I started my install with it, I'll just try. After previous installs (woody, debian-installer sarge netboot) I was allway able to run dpkg -l '*', which gave the total number of packages apt was able to get. As of yesterday I'm not able to do that any more on _new_ installs, but still can on older sarge installs through d-i, where both, the older and the newer, point to the same mirror, have the exact same sources.list and are 'apt-get update/ graded'. The latest installs give after the first round of installs about 425 packages, the older +-17000. Anybody able to reproduce this/ knows what is going on?

That dpkg -l command uses the available file, which is not updated in newer installs anymore, since so few things use it. You can update it yourself with the command dselect update.

my own debian-installer kernel
Hi All, as stated, I intend to build my own debian-installer (actually netboot) compliant kernel. After reading 'debian-installer-manual:/usr/share/doc/\ debian-installer-manual/custom-kernel.txt.gz' I went looking for the original kernel images used for the udebs, I stumbled in di's source over 'debian-installer/packages/kernel/linux-kernel-di-i386/kernel-versions' which states that the debian-installer build-depends on 'kernel-image-2.4.26-1-386, kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.26-1-386'. Am I right in asuming that these packages are the base of the kernels used in debian-installer? Sincerely, Jan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

netboot kernel parameter question
Hi All, installing sarge with d-i through pxe-netboot on a Compaq/HP DL380-G3, fresh out of the box, with a remote console tool that comes with the machine, called iLO (integrated lights off). In short you connect through https to the iLO interface (ethernet with IP/DHCP), supply the pre-set password and get the console over your net in your browser. Gives you the possibility to do all bios related things (date/time, array partitioning etc.) plus power on/off etc. without being present and without locally supplied boot software. All goes well, until the loaded netboot kernel starts, because it tries various diferent graphics modes, which aren't supported with the (free) iLO software, only with the 'advanced' (== non-free) ver- sion. The moment iLO detects the graphic tweaking, it blocks every action and my only possible option is a reboot. Is there a way to disable this behaviour by the netboot kernel? Tried various things as 'vga=ask', 'vga=NORMAL_VGA', all failed. Sincerely, Jan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: missing kernel-config file
I guess he is referring to the initial netboot files, which consist only of the /initrd.img, /vmlinuz and /initrd.lst or the 'floppy' files which primarily consist of .img files. All can be openend and viewed without booting them by uncompressing and mounting them with the '-o loop' option. Filetypes are msdos and ext2. In some cases this process must be recursively repeated by copying 'initrd.gz' files from the loop mounted images and unzipping and mounting them as well. I wouldn't be to suprised if the config files could be found that way. Sincerely, Jan. Google search argument: viewing bootimages On Mon, 2004-07-12 at 14:35, Toth Szabolcs wrote: Hello !
