Bug#633128: Acknowledgement (debian-installer: Squeeze Installer fails to detect RDC PATA controller)
OK, I think I figured out why Debian Squeeze won't detect my pata controller... # dpkg -x /media/cdrom0/pool/main/l/linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6/pata-modules-2.6.32-5-486-di_1.99+squeeze3_i386.udeb /root/ # ls -l /root/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-486/kernel/drivers/ata/ total 260 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14468 Jun 13 03:00 pata_ali.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15600 Jun 13 03:00 pata_amd.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9164 Jun 13 03:00 pata_artop.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8344 Jun 13 03:00 pata_atiixp.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9656 Jun 13 03:00 pata_cmd64x.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10064 Jun 13 03:00 pata_cs5520.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9512 Jun 13 03:00 pata_cs5530.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7664 Jun 13 03:00 pata_efar.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16136 Jun 13 03:00 pata_it821x.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5668 Jun 13 03:00 pata_jmicron.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6824 Jun 13 03:00 pata_marvell.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7544 Jun 13 03:00 pata_mpiix.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5984 Jun 13 03:00 pata_netcell.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6984 Jun 13 03:00 pata_ns87410.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7220 Jun 13 03:00 pata_oldpiix.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12164 Jun 13 03:00 pata_pdc2027x.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8804 Jun 13 03:00 pata_pdc202xx_old.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6552 Jun 13 03:00 pata_rz1000.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6772 Jun 13 03:00 pata_sc1200.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6672 Jun 13 03:00 pata_sch.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10820 Jun 13 03:00 pata_serverworks.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10292 Jun 13 03:00 pata_sil680.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7368 Jun 13 03:00 pata_triflex.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14148 Jun 13 03:00 pata_via.ko root@debian:~# The RDC PATA controller driver, *pata_rdc*, is missing from the list.

Bug#633128: debian-installer: Squeeze Installer fails to detect RDC PATA controller
Package: debian-installer Severity: important Tags: d-i Debian Squeeze Net Install disc fails to detect my RDC PATA controller when it tries to detect the disks. I end up with the dialog "No disk drive was dtected. If you know the name of the driver needed by your disk drive, you can select from the list." Unfortunately, even the list of the drivers does not have the driver (pata_rdc) for the controller. My system is a VortexDX based 486 system. The driver support for this IDE controller has been in the Linux kernel since 2.6.32. http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.32/drivers/ata/pata_rdc.c Interestingly, if I attach a hard drive to my system with Debian Squeeze (2.6.32-5-486) already installed, the kernel boots just fine and loads the pata_rdc driver: debian:~# lsmod Module Size Used by acpi_cpufreq3622 0 processor 23003 1 acpi_cpufreq thermal_sys 9346 1 processor cpufreq_powersave602 0 cpufreq_userspace 1304 0 cpufreq_conservative 3902 0 cpufreq_stats 1592 0 fuse 43201 3 loop9573 0 psmouse48562 0 evdev 5520 3 pcspkr 1235 0 serio_raw 2912 0 ext3 92740 1 jbd27954 1 ext3 mbcache 3482 1 ext3 usbhid 27576 0 hid50948 1 usbhid sd_mod 25957 3 crc_t10dif 1012 1 sd_mod ata_generic 2059 0 ohci_hcd 17179 0 pata_rdc2789 2 libata117307 2 ata_generic,pata_rdc r6040 8056 0 ehci_hcd 28827 0 scsi_mod 102293 2 sd_mod,libata usbcore98489 4 usbhid,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd mii 2654 1 r6040 nls_base4445 1 usbcore Here is the relevant output of lspci -vvxx for IDE controller: 00:0c.0 IDE interface: RDC Semiconductor, Inc.

Bug#517114: debian-installer: preseeding not working
Package: debian-installer Version: 20090123 Severity: important I tried installing Emdebian Grip 1.0 using the preseeding method suggested at: http://buildd.emdebian.org/grip/ and the preseeding fails in two ways: 1. First, you do not get a screen (after network detection) which asks you to enter the url of preseeding. http://lists.debian.org/debian-embedded/2009/02/msg00135.html 2. Even if you pass boot parameters at command line (url=), the preseeding still fails. http://lists.debian.org/debian-embedded/2009/02/msg00145.html The Debian Lenny documentation mentions about preseeding - Either we shold remove it from the docs or get it fixed in next stable update.
