Re: debian Wheezy DVD-1: installer cannot find ethernet card (2012-6-7)
Further information: The card now lists (lspci) as Atheros AR8151 v2.0. I get the same problem with the most recent business-card size net install, downloaded and install attempted around 9PM New York time, Jun 11. (1 PM New Zealand time, Jun 12). A net-install that can't find the NIC is a little less than useful. :-) Anyone have a clue as to what's going on? Did I maybe catch the weekly build in a partially-complete state? Phil
debian Wheezy DVD-1: installer cannot find ethernet card (2012-6-7)
When trying to install debian-6.0.5-i386-DVD-1.iso I get the message No Ether Net Card was Detected. It then asks me to select a driver. The ethernet card is there, and the Wheezy build from about 2 months ago finds it fine, as do all other installers I've tried. The card is: Atheros Communication Device 1083 (rev c0). It's the built-in on the motherboard (Asus board). Phil

It wouldn't then matter so much which localisations are included with the standard floppy image. Also, it would be possible to add and update localisations without rereleasing the floppy image. The image on the root floppy disk is compressed, which will make it awkward for users to add extra files there. I've checked in some changes to the boot-floppies to allow extra language catalogs to be shipped on the CD. This is obviously no help to people who are booting from floppy disk, but it's probably better than nothing. For those on debian-boot, the drill is that dbootstrap searches for extra languages in /.xlp/messages.XX on the CD during program startup. Any catalogs it finds are copied into /etc from where LC will pick them up. The build process creates an archive xlp.tgz containing the catalogs for everything in $(langs), and i386-specials/mini-iso.sh knows how to put it onto the CD. p. ---End Message---
Re: Bug#123948: can someone test the patch?
On Fri, 2002-03-01 at 11:56, Eduard Bloch wrote: Maybe I got the wrong impression, but why do we do all this detection and _force_ the user to use that Cd? The idea was to reduce the number of questions that the user gets asked. Debian's installer has long been notorious for forcing you to navigate through countless dialogue boxes, usually just accepting the defaults at every stage. This is tedious and potentially confusing for users. How about a compromise. If an attractive-looking CD is detected in the drive, pop up a single dialogue box at the beginning along the lines of I see you have a Debian CD-ROM. Do you want to use this as the source medium for all the installation files?. If the user answers yes, behave as if they had booted with the cdrom argument and suppress all the media-selection menus; if they answer no, prompt as usual. Also, I am now coming round to the point of view that maybe this decision should be decoupled from the issue of whether the CD is official or not. Debian-cd folk, how about adding a new file called .disk/installable or some such, whose presence signals that boot-floppies should treat the CD as an install disk. That way people who are creating their own customised disks can make the decision for themselves rather than having to modify dbootstrap, second-guess its heuristics, or ask their users to supply boot arguments. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Well, given that that seems to be what's been causing cdimage.debian.org grief recently (I stupidly upgraded to 2.4.3 to see if it would cure a DMA interrupt error I've been getting on the HPT366 controller) I'd say the answer to that question was probably "no".

How what a good idea !! It's called debian-cd. :) However when you build the CDs yourself you're not providing official debian CDs. BTW, Phil Hands has had some (hardware/kernel driver) troubles on the computer on which he should have generated the images, that explains why they are not yet available. This way, at the moment when the distribution is made, it is 5 minutes to create the new ISO image... The script take more time than 5 minutes to run. For all architectures, on a reasonably quick machine, probably a minimum of 6 hours (that would need a quicker machine than I've got ;-), and that's assuming that the archive is in a clean state, which it currently is not. While it's true that open.hands.com has been crashing a lot recently, that is not the main reason I've not built images. I've actually succeeded in doing 2 2 halfs of CD production runs, between crashes, but the fact that the non-US/Contents file was broken, and that the package pool links for a few packages were wrong, means that the images were not 100% right, and while it might be OK to release the main archive with minor flaws, I'm of the oppinion that we should not release the CDs until all known fixable bugs are fixed, because downloading a load of CD images takes a long time, and if you then find that you're missing the one thing you were really intreested in, you're not going to be happy. When it comes to people that want to press CDs in quantity (which is the whole motivation behind the "official" CD images, after all) the reasons not to release are magnified yet further. If CD production were a trivial 5 minute thing, then I wouldn't bother with making official images. The fact is that it isn't, which is why it's worth doing them, and as long as I'm doing them you're going to have to put up with my anal "100% right, or not at all" attitude. If that's not to your liking, go ahead, get a copy of debian-cd and make your own --- it's not hard really. It takes a certain amount of attention to detail, and several hours, but it's not difficult.

It seems that that was a mis-diagnosis, and what what actually happening
was 2.4.3 not doing the right thing with serial consoles, combined with
me being a bit dim, and not realising that that was why there was no output
after the "Loading Linux". Doh!
Anyway, the good news is that open is now up and running, using a 2.2.19
kernel, it's not generating the { DriveStatusError BadCRC } messages
on hdc (that seem to be related to the problems it was having), and it's
now running ext3, so should not end up failing to fsck if it does crash
again.
I've run debsums and rsync -c mirrors, without finding any corruption, so
it looks like I'm ready to do a CD run.
The only things I'm doing to the archive prior to making CDs, is deleting
the bulkmail binaries, and adding a link for the mysql source. If there's
something I'm missing, please tell me about it.
Cheers, Phil.
