Bug#255408: first boot of new hppa install failed
Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: 2004-06-16 daily build http://people.debian.org/~jbailey/d-i/hppa/2004-06-16/ Date: Sun Jun 20 14:15:52 EDT 2004 Method: Network boot. Booted from local tftp server. Machine: HP PA-RISC B180L+ Processor: 180MHz PA7300LC Memory: 420M (don't remember exactly) Root Device: SCSI (sda) Root Size/partition table: not relevant Output of lspci: not relevant Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked:[O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems:[O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system:[O] Install boot loader:[O] Reboot: [E] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: Install went fine. Upon rebooting into new system however, the machine fails to give me a getty. Starting periodic command scheduler: cron. /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/tts/0: No such file or directory /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/tts/0: No such file or directory /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/tts/0: No such file or directory /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/tts/0: No such file or directory /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/tts/0: No such file or directory /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/tts/0: No such file or directory /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/tts/0: No such file or directory /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/tts/0: No such file or directory /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/tts/0: No such file or directory /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/tts/0: No such file or directory INIT: Id 1 respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes The console is on SERIAL_1, with no keyboard, mouse, or monitor hooked up. The kernel properly spat out to the serial port. This renders the system unusable. I apologize if this has been fixed, but there are no netboot images more recent than this, and I wanted to test to see if the kernel-image detection was working properly (it is).

I yanked the script out...
The first console_= line returns /dev/tts/0
The first console= line returns /dev/tts/0
The second console_= line returns tts/0
The second console= line returns tts/0
I assume that the case misses out because of this.

Though it often gets it wrong, the cases where it gets it right are used by prebaseconfig. -- Joey Hess [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue, 15 Jun 2004 12:41:12 -0400 The image you're using had libdebian-installer4-udeb 0.28, which was broken. I think you should find that jbailey's current hppa daily build is fixed, since http://people.debian.org/~jbailey/d-i/hppa/2004-06-20/cdrom/initrd.list quotes libdebian-installer4-udeb 0.29.
