Well Ueli -- you are not alone. I think that error is pretty generic and that you really have to look in this file -- /mnt/debian/var/log/bootstrap.log -- to see useful messges. I am surprised that a standard piece of hardware with a completely standard OM distro can't run this Debian installer script. It's also a drag that I can't restart it once it's failed to try again -- well, I can -- "./install.sh debian" but it starts over again and that step takes a long long time. Well it even says "might take a while". :-) That's true! Takes FOREVER actually since it never completes. Today I tried flashing each of these to the phone to use as a starting point. OM2009 OM2008.12 OM2008.9 backing off to an older distro each time figuring maybe THIS time it would work. Same results every time P: Configuring helper cdebootstrap-helper-apt E: Internal error: install Checking the log file in /mnt/debian/var/log/bootstrap.log I see this > O: Failed to fetch bootstrap:/pool/main/t/texinfo/install > info_4.13a.dfsg.1-4_armel.deb > O: E: > O: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with > --fix-missing? > O: > E: Internal error: install This looks pretty bad -- missing archive -- It's a different error than I got with OM2009 - which I did not note. Reading the wiki page at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner I just figured OM2009 was too new. I wonder where it's going for the archive. I wonder why it can't get there. I googled for the error and found this http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01501.html Trying that now-- manually wget the deb file and put it in /mnt/debian/var/cache/bootstrap/ Maybe this will help...
