Bug#619711: console-setup: breaks copying keymap to initramfs
Package: console-setup
Version: 1.71
Severity: grave
Hello,
if a system's keymap needs to be loaded during the initramfs stage,
initramfs-tools' /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/keymap looks for
/etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz
and copies it to the initramfs.
console-setup 1.71 changed the name of this file to
/etc/console-setup/cached_${CHARMAP}_$backspace$VARIANT.kmap.gz
i.e. something like
/etc/console-setup/cached_ISO-8859-15_del.kmap.gz
Hence, /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz doesn't exist anymore on fresh
installed systems and is thus not copied to the initramfs anymore.
This renders systems unbootable because, for example, passphrases cannot
be entered.
This bug hides well on upgraded systems, because console-setup doesn't
remove the old /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz.
There are several alternatives to fix this bug like
* symlinking the new name to the old
* moving the keymap-copying from initramfs-tools to console-setup
* updating initramfs-tools to honor the new keymap name
Most of those alternatives need to be negotiated with initramfs-tools
and probably other initramfs-creators as well.
However, at the current stage console-setup should break on
packages that depend on the old naming scheme.
Thanks for your work regards
Mario

D-I still boots fine when I use the lenny or squeeze images. Could you please try tftpd (plain, from netkit-tftp)? I was using tftpd 0.17-16 from lenny. So that does seem to confirm that tsize is not the problem here. It also seems more likely that it's not syslinux that's broken, but either the PXE client in Mario's system(s), or his TFTP server (I'd bet on the latter). The PXE client was from the installer tarball (I tested lenny and squeeze), the tftp server was tftpd 0.17-16 and the dhcp server was dhcp3-server 3.1.1-6+lenny4.

All right, I think I got it... syslinux/pxelinux.txt states, that: PXELINUX currently requires that the boot server has a TFTP server which supports the tsize TFTP option (RFC 1784/RFC 2349). So, purging tftpd and installing either tftpd-hpa or atftpd does the trick. However, although tftpd-hpa generally works, it is horribly slow in inetd as well as in standalone mode, i.e. it takes ages until some menu is displayed (having a look at the network traffic going on in the meantime shows why :/). atftpd does its job very well and quick. I would suggest to put some notes regarding this issue in the Installation Guide: a) add a huge warning note about using Debian's tftpd package in conjunction with Network boot, and b) strongly suggest atftp to the disadvantage of tftpd-hpa. If I got this tsize TFTP option thingy right, the tsize option needs to be negotiated between client and server, thus pxelinux should be able to notice that the server it talks to does not understand it (either tsize or negotiation at all). Thus, pxelinux should be able to print some warning or error message when it talks to a tftp server not supporting tsize. Depending on what you think about using this bug to modify the Installation Guide I'll either clone or reassign it to syslinux.

Package: debian-installer Version: 20100211 Hello, the debian-installer netboot stops after the message: Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default The machine in question is an Asus P5Q-EM (Intel G45 chipset) with an Intel Core2Duo E2200 and 4G RAM. Neither the HDMI (default) nor the VGA output shows anything else than the message above. Ctrl-Alt-Del is not working. The same problem occurs on an Asus CUV4X-EA (VIA Apollo Pro133A chipset) with an Intel P3-1GHz and 768M RAM. It looks like switching to a graphical interface or something like that goes wrong: when I disable the following line in pxelinux.cfg/default default debian-installer/i386/boot-screens/vesamenu.c32 and try again, I get a Invalid or corrupt kernel image. message followed by a boot: prompt offering install mainmenu expert rescue auto mainmenu-kde etc. pp. items. Booting into install or rescue then works well and I get prompted for my language settings afterwards. I downloaded http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz and extracted it to /srv/tftp. # cat /srv/tftp/version.info Debian version: 6.0 (squeeze) Installer build: 20100211 The (somewhat newer) http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/netboot/netboot.tar.gz (Installer build: 20100217-16:54) behaves identical. The debian-installer netinst iso-image works well and seems to get the switch to graphics right. The vesamenu.c32 on both the netboot tarball and netinst iso is identical. Feel free to clone or reassign this bug to syslinux if you think it's a pxelinux issue.
