Moritz will try > bumping that and will let us know later on. This turned out to be redux of #932149: Bumping the memory of the netboot-installed VM to 1536M RAM fixed it. There was anectotal evidence of non-netboot installations still succeeding with 1024M, so should we reassign to installation-guide to bump the documented minimum RAM at least for netboot? When debugging the issue is also noticed that rootskel/src/lib/debian-installer/menu currently checks how much RAM is present and if it's less than 250M it exports DEBCONF_DROP_TRANSLATIONS=1 to cdebconf. Given that we already document 780MB as the minimum requirement for Bullseye that seems obsolete, happy to create MRs to remove it from rootskel and cdebconf to clean this up. Cheers, Moritz
Bug#1035854: Bookworm netboot image fails in VM
Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
Boot method: network
Image version: netboot daily from 2023-05-09
Date: 2023-05-10
I've successfully tested the Bookworm installer on a few Dell PowerEdge servers
(with rc1, rc2
and dailies) and it's working fine on baremetal using the netboot image.
As an additional test I also created a VM on a Ganeti cluster based on Ganeti
3.0.2 cluster (as
provided by Bookworm) using KVM/qemu. This setup has no issues installing
Bullseye with the
same d-i config.
The system emulated by qemu is a pretty standard pc-i440fx "hardware" model:

---
After retrieval and bootup of the TFTPed image, the installer crashes very
early on and drops
into a busybox shell with the following userspace processes running:
---
147 root 2800 S{debian-installe} /bin/sh /sbin/debian-installer
154 root 3396 S/usr/bin/screen sh -c printf "\033k%s\033\\" install
155 root 4268 R{screen} /usr/bin/SCREEN sh -c printf "\033k%s\033\\
---
Poking at /proc/$PID/cmdline it's running
/usr/bin/SCREEN sh -c printf "\033k%s\033\\" installer ;
/lib/debian-installer/menu
Looking at /lib/debian-installer/menu I checked that it's not running into any
memory
shenanigans and it seems it's ultimately failing in the final
exec debconf -o d-i $MENU
call. $MENU is set to '/usr/bin/main-menu' and in fact running
"debconf -o d-i /usr/bin/main-menu" tries to emit some output (I can see the
cursor
moving), but drops back to the shell right away.
I'm not familiar with cdebconf, if there's some suggested steps to narrow down
the
failure further, I'm happy to try them.
Cheers,
Moritz

Hi Cyril, as discussed on #debian-boot last week: I've tested a Buster installation with "d-i mirror/udeb/suite string unstable" and our previous "d-i base-installer/includes string gnupg" workaround dropped which uses the https://apt.wikimedia.org repository and that worked fine.

Bug#782573: Installation on Thinkpad X250 worked fine
Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Boot method: CD Image version: debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso from 13-04-2015 Date: 13-04-2015 Machine: Lenovo ThinkPad X250 Summary: Everything went really well, good job! I especially like new desktop selection, which makes KDE installations much more easy for non-technical users. Some remarks: - In the past I usually installed using wired network, but decided to give the wireless installation a go. d-i correctly detected the missing iwlwifi firmware. While the steps to obtain the missing firmware files are obvious to, this is most probably not the case for 95% of all users. Maybe d-i should point to something like http://wiki.debian.org/d-i-Firmware which contains the specific blobs and instructions how to copy them to a USB stick? (Since this topic is probably contentious, I didn't file a bug for it, so maybe only take this as a suggestion). - One line was only displayed partly, I filed a bug against partman-crypto (782571) - The touchpad on the X250 needs a backport from Linux 4.0, but there's already a kernel bug/patch on that.

Hi,
I installed jessie with yesterday's debian-testing-amd64-netinst
and chose the graphical d-i with German i18n.
One output from partman-crypto was truncated/not line-wrapped,
so only the following was displayed (in one line):

(This is the German gettext string for "The installer is now

The 2.6.18.6 stable series patches posted by Chris include some fixes we should include: - fixes data corruption with dm-crypt on RAID - fixes bcm43xx retransmits (IIRC there's an RC bug for this) - provides openat() et. al. on arm Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Good to hear (err... sending such information to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] would actually be a good idea as well...) I'm pretty sure I kept you posted. I dropped a note when I pushed out the Woody updates, but it was probably too terse. Sorry for that, I've been very busy over the last months. I'll process the 2.4.27 and 2.6.8 packages on the weekend. Wrt the ABI bump: At DebConf Dann and I agreed to omit one kernel security issue: A hard-too-trigger denial of service vulnerability in the experimental SCTP code. As there will most definitely be another ABI breaker soon, it wasn't worth all the work to cope with an ABI change.

Bug#358348: installation-report: Installation report for etch2 beta on Powerbook G4
Package: installation-report Severity: normal Yesterday I installed Debian with the Etch2 d-i on a friend's G4 Powerbook. Some observations: 1. He had MacOS X occupying the whole hard disc, so we backuped all data and re-installed MacOS to repartition the disk. The standard MacOS installation procedure created a 32k HFS+ partition, followed by 134 MB free disk space and followed by the real MacOS partition. The yaboot installer complained that 900k would be needed, so we resized the 32k partition to something larger using the 134 megs behind it. This wept the whole partition clean, including the installed MacOS X. If resizing HFS+ partitions is experimental it shouldn't be offered in the installer, I guess. After a reinstall of MacOS X where we created a sufficiently large boot partition everything went fine. 2. We installed the Desktop-Task, which installed Gnome. No desktop war flames intended, but a separate "Desktop/KDE", which installs a KDE based system including OpenOffice would be very much appreciated. 3. German i18n was fine, except the very awkward "Tottasten" for dead_keys. I have to admit I don't have better a translation, though. 4. Auto-detection of the Nvidia graphic card failed. It created an fbdev based X11 config, which failed to start. After manual configuration of the "nv" driver everything was fine. Besides the above the installation was very smooth and worked just great.
