--- Begin Message ---Package: installation-reports Severity: <serious> Part 1: failure to install from CD (similar to bug #602380) I've failed to do a fresh netinst of Squeeze from a CD on a new desktop. The install hangs during "Select and install software". I looked at console 4 while it was hanging and saw 8-line kernel errors like this ad nauseam: sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key: Medium error [current] sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] CDB: Read(10): 28 00 00 00 00 1e 00 00 02 00 end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 120 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 30 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 31 sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] Unhandled sense code sr 0:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE So it's failing to read the CD. Other possibly useful info: The motherboard is an Intel DH55HC, and the CD/DVD drive is a Toshiba Samsung DVD Writer Model TS-H663 (see lspci output below). The info file on the CD says Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.0 "Squeeze" - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20110205-14:34 With another desktop and CD/DVD drive, I verified the checksums on the CD with md5sum -c md5sum.txt | grep -v 'OK$' I also made a second copy of the CD and failed to install with that. On the same hardware, netinst CD installs of 5.0.8 and Wheezy ran to completion. During the failed 6.0.0 install, the CD was successfully read quite a bit before it hung. I found over 30000 files installed on /dev/sda1 (mounted on /target). Part 2: failure to install from USB flash drive (similar to bug #593013) I made an 8-GB flash drive bootable as follows: cat debian-6.0.0-i386-netinst.iso > /dev/sdc sync It booted, and the install got through the initial language and keymap selection. Then: No common CD-ROM was detected. I also failed to install Wheezy this way, although Wheezy from CD ran to completion. The version of Wheezy was: Debian GNU/Linux testing "Wheezy" - Official Snapshot i386 NETINST Binary-1 20110215-15:58 This post at debian-user also mentions failure to install Squeeze from USB flash: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/02/msg01448.html but this poster succeeded (at least to partitioning): http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/02/msg01562.html Part 3. output of lspci (running Wheezy from hard drive) 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 02) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset HECI Controller (rev 06) 00:16.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset PT IDER Controller (rev 06) 00:16.3 Serial controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset KT Controller (rev 06) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 06) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 06) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev a6) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 5 Series Chipset LPC Interface Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 4 port SATA IDE Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset SMBus Controller (rev 06) 00:1f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 2 port SATA IDE Controller (rev 06) 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 05) I was unable to find a description of the CD/DVD drive under /proc but may not have known where to look in Wheezy. I was able to mount /media/cdrom and read the netinst CD.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if - they (finally) indicated success and/or - I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in Wheezy and/or - they only contained very little information and/or - they contained user errors and/or - they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or - they are quite old. If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft. cheers, Holgersignature.asc
