Hi, I'm currently trying to build d-i modules and test installations on i386 so I could report problems.
I followed Tollef's advice on how to build d-i[1] and, with some help
from people on #debian-boot, started build d-i modules. I didn't
finished it yet, but I found some problems and would like to report them
here :
1) grub-installer module :
There's no debian/changelog file so dpkg-buildpackage won't work and the
.udeb won't be generated. I checked lilo-installer/ directory and there's a
debian/changelog into there and it was built correctly.
2) partkit module :
partkit failed to build and generated errors while being compiled as
follow :
andrelop@foobar:~/debian-installer/tools/partkit$ !dpk

Well, that's all for now. I'll be testing things and will keep reporting
any problems encountered.
Keep up the good work guys :-)
