Bug#764675: need change in debian-cd_info.tar.gz too
Hi, after hanging out with nice people from #debian-boot and #debian-cd I have now been pointed in this direction. when the debian-ISOs are build using debian-cd, somewhere in the process debian-cd_info.tar.gz are downloaded. this file contains isolinux config files, and these files have a lot of "--" needing to be changed to "---" according to the nice folks in #debian-cd this requires a change in debian-installer and thus this follow-up to the bug. Please point me in the right direction, if this is wrong.

Bug#767222: related to #762007 and #766607
follow-up to my own bug report. Researching an idea from KiBi in the #debian-boot IRC channel on irc.debian.org I found out that this must be related to: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766607 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=762007 and the change to kernel 3.16 where the kernel now ignores every parameter after '--' in the boot command line. Learning that, I tried to modify the daily snapshot netinst iso image and removing every '--' occurence in the isolinux boot setup, and every thing then works as with jessie beta 2. So is this a bug in the install images wrt the '--' in isolinux config files?

Bug#767222: preseeding of daily snapshot of debian jessie fails
Package: installation-reports Boot method: CD Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso Date: 2014-10-29 Machine: packer initiated boot of netinst.iso in vmware fusion 7 on Mac OS X 10.10) Processor: vmware (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3720QM CPU @ 2.60GHz) Memory: 512MB Partitions: machine doesn't get installed Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): machine doesn't get installed Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card:[O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system:[ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup:[ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader:[ ] Overall install:[ ] Comments/Problems: in a Packer setup we are preseeding the netinst.iso from Jessie Beta 2 - it works well until it tries to download header files to linux-3.14-something (which in beta 2 is current kernel) but no longer exists upstream. (we need the header files to build vmware-tools for the packer image) Then we try to use daily snapshot of netinst.iso http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso but our preseeding then fails and stops on “Select a language” (see attached screenshot) so something has changed? We’ve tried a lot of preseeding options without finding the right one - is this a bug, or has something changed? our preseeding file: http://pastebin.com/q1B6jwW4 the way we iniate packer (and preseeding): http://pastebin.com/gHm06TnY PS: not sure where in the above [] questions the installation stalls? So the [O]'s might not be right. PPS: The presseding file works on beta 2 still (except for the missing package kernel header package) -- Lasse Aagren DTU Library --- Technical University of Denmark Technical Information Center of Denmark Anker Engelunds Vej 1 Building 101D 2800 Kgs.

Bug#513283: debian-installer: "keymap select" is ignored when loading the preseeding file from kernel parameters

But dk worked with etch :-) This is indeed the consequence of changes that happened in console-data with the removal of such aliases from possible choices. I don't really consider this to be a bug indeed as these aliases have never been really supported nor documented TTBOMK. Ok. But on a freshly installed lenny (i386) machine a "dpkg -L console- data" gives me both: /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/dk-latin1.kmap.gz and /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/dk.kmap.gz (which btw are not totally alike - they differ in 2 or 3 lines). So if this package decides which "names" is allowed in the "d-i console- keymaps-at/keymap" statement, then I'm confused. -- Lasse Aagren Technical Information Center of Denmark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I can confirm that d-i console-keymaps-at/keymap select dk is ignored in auto mode (booting the lenny install cd with auto url=http://somewhere.domain/preseed.txt) This worked with etch, but now doesn't work with Lenny. I have tried with both "debian-500-i386-netinst.iso" and "debian-500-i386-CD-1.iso" from cdimage.debian.org. Maybe this is a feature, I don't know. -- Lasse Aagren Technical Information Center of Denmark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
