Hello all,
I just pressed "send" and "reload" and there was a new netinst-image!
Well, then just try this also.
Debian-installer-version:
30-Dec-2003 11:11h netinst.iso 2nd build from
http://people.debian.org/~manty/testing/netinst/i386/daily/
just to be sure:
md5sum sarge-i386-netinst-20031230.2.iso
8d88a368fc22eeee25144b8592d75684 sarge-i386-netinst-20031230.2.iso
to make it short: This image is no good for my box.
- network cannot be configured, because ne2k-pci fails to load
with unresolved symbols:
insmod: unresolved symbol ei_close_Rc8e3042e
insmod: unresolved symbol ei_open_R8c9e3b69
insmod: unresolved symbol ethdev_init_R2342cc80
insmod: unresolved symbol ei_interrupr_Rb93d8fa5
insmod: unresolved symbol NS8390_init_Rd79efca9
this worked on the image before.
- ncr53c8xx (scsi) is missing and sym53c8xx is not loaded through
the hw detection phase. loading sym53c8xx, sr_mod and sd_mod
manually results in the SCSI disks being avaliable, though.
this worked on the image before
- booting "net" still results in the di-utils-devicefiles
problem, see my last message
- I noticed that the selection list in "Load installer modules"
is considerably shorter when booting "expert" instead of "net".
That may or may not be a problem
This time I got a whee bit more fancy and requested lvmcfg and
md-modules to be installed.
+ configure LVM shows up and works, which is nice :-)
- ext3 has vanished from the selection in conf.+mount filesystems
- I needed to mount /boot manually, not sure why. Its on ide (not
scsi), and I requested the file system to be left alone.
mount /dev/hda1 /target/boot would not work, whereas
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /target/boot did.
- installing the kernel failed, with mk.initrd claiming that
/dev/vg00/lvol1 does not exist. This is not correct, but it
makes dpkg install kernel-image-2.4.22-1-386 fail.
This leaves the system in an unbootable state, at which point I
think, it's time to quit for today.
At this time I would not call the last 3 points a problem, since
it can all stem from the same source as the unresolved symbols,
namely some build error on the image.
Cheers,
Erich
