[Bug 294365] Re: alternate installer broken

2009-01-09 Thread Colin Watson
As part of supporting multi-CD installs, Debian added some code to unmount and remount /cdrom at various points during installation. These happen when installing packages into /target, and the exact behaviour there is conditional on a lot of things, including things like encrypted partition setup.

The insert cdrom... message will only occur if I try to create a filesystem directly on a cryptopartition! If i put LVM between the crypto and the FS the installer works fine. However, I don't understand what the cdrom has to do with my crypto setup? -- alternate installer broken

The Desktop CD doesn't work, probably since my Radeon HD4870 isn't supported yet. Once it switches to graphics mode, the Screen goes to standby. Should I open another bug for this problem? Once fglrx is installed and a appropriate X.org configfile generated with atitool it does work fine. (I

Teej, the processor is irrelevant to this bug. If this were a 32/64-bit mismatch then it clearly wouldn't have got anywhere near as far as asking for a different CD; it would have just completely failed to boot. Also, 64-bit systems can run 32-bit installations perfectly happily and it is often

Hi znuh, Thank you for reporting the above problem and helping to improve Ubuntu. Where exactly is it getting to and then asking for the CD? What was the result of the 32 bit version, did it work? Can I ask you to do an md5 checksum on the CD's and to burn them slower, possible 4-8x, in case of

with tried the 32bit version I meant that the above describes problem occured with the 32bit version. I haven't tried 64bit. Will check the md5s soon. Exact point of the installer where it happens is hard to find since the message won't go away. Thus I can't see the progress any longer. --

btw. I also transferred the .iso via netcat to the installing machine and mounted it via -o loop. The installer still didn't like it. This probably rules out any bruning errors in my opinion. -- alternate installer broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294365 You received this bug

Hi znuh, Can you provide information about the hardware itself please, Make/Model processor etc. Do you have a 64 bit processor, otherwise 64 bit linux will not work anyway. If you are 64 bit, then you really *should* be using the 64 bit installer anyway. Also do the same problems arise with the
