Dutch Language Implementation (not perfect) ----------------------------- Language settings worked perfectly although the dutch language used was a little silly, for example the language used some literal translations for for example "mount" of which we never use a dutch translation as it sound= s silly, but that's a minor thing. Create LVM filesystem (didn't create physical volume) --------------------- 1) First, I wanted to use LVM so after I partitioned my harddrives it directly wanted to format and mount the new partitions.. It would be better if it checked whether I made an LVM partition so I have a chance t= o setup LVM. But this was not a major problem as I could just hit "abort" and go to the LVM setup and after that go back to formatting and mounting the partions and the root partition.Also, I understand the installer *tri= es* to find the best next thing. 2) Second, LVM setup doesn't work out of the box. You see, it skips the pvcreate phase, so i had to open a shell and create the physical volume b= y hand.. Only after that I could go to the menu item on LVM to create volum= e groups and LVs. It makes sense that this LVM option tries asks to create the physical volume. The rest of the volume creation and EXT3 formatting the individual LVs worked just fine.. LVs: /dev/kibi_group/kibi_var /dev/kibi_group/kibi_apps /dev/kibi_group/kibi_home /dev/kibi_group/kibi_secure Install base system: (not complete) -------------------- The base system failed (or to my knowledge didn't even try) to install th= e kernel. I repeated this step over and over, I saw it downloaded a kernel_image but immediately after downloading this (udeb?) it got removed. It was never installed. I also got an error when it tried to install debootstrap.. I'm sorry I do not have the exact error message.Nex= t I tried to install both LILO (which failed) and grub.. both failed. They defaulted to the devfs path of the first partition (part1). I think it would be easier to see if it was installing in MBR or on the first partition.. that part was very unclear.Installing in /dev/ide/host0/targe= t0/lun0/disc failed.. all failed.. /dev/hda didn't exist so that wouldn't work either.I'm personally not ver= y familiar with devfs though.. I have had a debian developer look at it (wilmer van der gaast) he quickly left me alone because this was not going to work. I managed to get it working by chrooting to /target, then mounting /proc, then doing apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.22-1-386. Then I ran lilo and it was working.. The lilo file contained: image=3D/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1-386 label=3D"DEB 2.4.22-0" root=3D/dev/hda1 initrd=3D/boot/initrd.img-2.4.22-1-386 read-only Install bootloader: (did not work) ------------------- This did not work as mentioned in the above section. If I entered a nonexisting part to the harddisk (like /dev/hda) it would just exit without giving errors (I've also tried to run the lilo.bootconf(??) or something from the /var/lib/dpkg/info/ directory).. it didn't give errors like; 'doesn't exist', but I guess it gave back an error value because from the menu it said lilo failed. After I installed lilo manually and said in the menu 'finish and reboot' there was no error anymore.. it recognized that the system now worked. I hope this report is helpful.. --=20 ]- detach [The Hackaholic <http://hackaholic.org/>] -[ PGP KEY ID; 0X80FD4B50 --------------------------------------- Received: (at 231601-done) by bugs.debian.org; 8 Feb 2004 21:52:35 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Feb 08 13:52:35 2004 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from out008pub.verizon.net (out008.verizon.net) [206.46.170.108] by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1Apwqx-0001SO-00; Sun, 08 Feb 2004 13:52:35 -0800 Received: from squee ([151.199.37.226]) by out008.verizon.net (InterMail vM.5.01.06.06 201-253-122-130-106-20030910) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sun, 8 Feb 2004 15:52:34 -0600 Received: by squee (Postfix, from userid 1000) id CA1E346E8B; Sun, 8 Feb 2004 16:52:33 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2004 16:52:33 -0500 From: David Nusinow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: This Installation Report Has Been Processed Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.5.1+cvs20040105i X-Authentication-Info: Submitted using SMTP AUTH at out008.verizon.net from [151.199.37.226] at Sun, 8 Feb 2004 15:52:34 -0600 Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_02_01 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on spohr.debian.org X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.0 required=4.0 tests=none autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_02_01 X-Spam-Level: Thank you.
