Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
First thanks to the whole d-i team for getting beta1 out!
I've done a installation in zh_CN with the i386 netinstall CD. It's
quite smooth and successful, but I have a few bugs to report. One issue
is that I have display glitches in 2nd stage, and I think it's #338198.
I'll report others separately. This one goes here because I can't
figure out which package to report against. :-)
This bug is about the boot option set in grub in the installed system.
I have a 1280x1024 LCD screen, so when I boot from netinstall CD I added
the vga= option to get the proper resolution. I can't remember the
correct number though (It is 0x31A for 16bit color, 794 in decimal), so
the first time I typed the wrong "install vga=954" boot option. The d-i
was smart enought to know "vga=954" is wrong, and displayed an table of
possible choices and let me retry. I typed "031A" and d-i booted with
the correct screen resolution.
After the install, though, I have "vga=954" in grub's configuration file
/boot/grub/menu.lst, and sure, the system refuse to boot and let me
correct the vga= option again. It turnes out that "vga=954" got written
to the kopt= option in /boot/grub/menu.lst, which seems to be inherited
from d-i.
Maybe d-i can remember whatever option the user used the last time
(which should be the correct one), or, at least don't inherit any boot
options when the first one inputed by user is wrong (is there a way to
detect that)?
Thanks,
Ming

closing as quite old image with old kernel,
