Machine: custom Processor: celeron 350 Memory: XXX Root Device: IDE (hda1) Root Size/partition table: single 9GB root, XXX swap #Output of lspci: Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [E] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: Partition hard drives: if I just follow the steps lineraly, no problem. At first, I had hit cancel at some point before (have to check and reproduce), and the HD selection menu was incomplete (did not mention the probbedname of the drive, only the devfs name, and no "terminate" choice). When selecting the drive, all I could see was the blue background - could Ctrl-C out of it, but could not achieve partitionning at all. Install base system: undefined symbol __libc_stack_end from "mount" when run to mount /target/proc in the chroot. The same happens with /bin/sh when running "chroot /target" in VC#2. This symbol was IIRC exported by old glibc dropped when the cleaned up the exported symbols from undocumented/internal ones, so I suppose the glibc on the CD is a post-cleanup one, while the problematic binaries (mount, sh) were built on an old glibc. Now why did they get this symbol ? I know libgc had it, but that was just because its build procedure explicitely tested for it and used it if available. And the current /bin/mount I have on another sarge box does not have this symbol. -- Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.alcove.com/ Technical support manager Responsable de l'assistance technique Senior Free-Software Consultant Consultant senior en Logiciels Libres Debian developer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) D�veloppeur Debian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
