Bug#852323: debian-installer: grub-installer not convert root= entry to UUID
i do agree this is a regression from jessie, but it is also something that happens only on some machines, so it may be something related to how kernel, bios, and various hardware interacts with each other. if you are already using a customized preseed file for the installation, we found that this will workaround the issue, giving us a bootable system: d-i preseed/late_command string update-dev; in-target update-grub ; Thanks, -- Sandro "morph" Tosi My website: http://sandrotosi.me/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SandroTosi

Re: console-setup: During apt-get dist-upgrade stage, console-setup did not finish cleanly under ja_JP.UTF-8 locale.
'critical' severity seems way exaggerated, and in particular if the error in is `iconv` that program is part of libc-bin so this bug should be reassigned to that pkg. I'll let the console-setup maint decide what to do of course, just posting my quick check on this RC bug. please CC me on replies -- Sandro "morph" Tosi My website: http://sandrotosi.me/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+SandroTosi
Bug#815159: debian-installer: allow to specify UID/GID before any user is created (via preseed)
Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist Tags: d-i Hello, we have users and groups which evolved from an old systems, and now their UIDs/GIDs are conflicting with the Debian default ones (as defined in /etc/adduser.conf) Given the debian packages users creation starts as early as during the installation (for example, systemd users), it would be great if we could specify FIRST/LAST_SYSTEM_UID/GID via preseed, so that we can specify a range not conflicting with the internal ones. There is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640651 where something similar was asked to 'adduser' maints, but indeed this is better done in the installation phase, hence this report (and the reason I'm CCing all those who replied in #640651 to this report).

[preseed] multiple disks, rules to select the "smallest" one
Hello, in case a machine has just one disk, we can skip the d-i partman-auto/disk string line and the d-i will do the right thing. Sometimes we also have machines with multiple drives, consider the now usual case of a fast SSD for the OS and a slower/larger spinning drive for data. In order to avoid writing a custom preseed file all the times, we're wondering if there is already a policy that would instruct d-i to use the smallest physical drive on the system as the one to partition and use for installation or alternatively how we should write our preseed.cfg to obtain that (eventually with some early_command?).
