Subject: boot-floppies: debootstrap fails Package: boot-floppies Version: 3.0.15-2001-10-18 Severity: critical
-- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Kernel Version: <deleted by user> I am sending this bug from another machine because the machine on which the problem occurs has not successfully been installed because of the problem I am about to report here, hence deleteing the kernel version information above. The version of boot-floppies above is the directory name under debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386 from which I took images-1.44's rescue and root, and the drivers.tgz. Anyway, on with the bug report. I boot the rescue and switch the root fine. I've mounted a couple of partitions in order to see the Debian archive on my own machine (put there with older Debian installation in different partition). I specify that I want to configure kernel modules and add pcnet32, st, sg. Then when I proceed to installing the base system, I get the little progress bar appearing, the message displayed is 'calling debootstrap', and when the bar just begins to move off, I get an window with title "Error" and with message "Couldn't download at". Yup, that's all. When I press enter to continue, I am returned to the main installation menu with the same 'Next' and alternates displayed. This error was *very* reproducible; I got it each of the about ten times I tried. I don't know that I can really offer you much more information, since I'm now going back to 2.2R3's CDROMs to install a base system, and then I'll just do an upgrade to get to my intended 'testing' system, but if you let me know ...
