Base System Installation Checklist:
Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [E] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [E] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Comments/Problems:
Config Network :
I have 2 networks interface, I need to retry 2 times the dhcp detect, may be the chello dhcp server was to slow.
Partition hard drives :
My best nightmare complety bogus, in fact a process (grep -q ext3) stop at 14% the splash screen.
The workaround is to kill the process. May be a grep without file (grep -q ext3 .... nothing :)) )
So I need to create the partitions table "by hand"
When it tried to mount fs, the installer said : run fsck bla bla ... I ran fsck "by hand" and everything was ok. I don't know why the installer detected a problem.
I said, no problem continue Install boot loader :
rahhhh !!!!!! lilo is not ok
grub yes, BUT it is not (hd0) but (hd0,1) this option by default is wrong (I think)
Reboot :
Ok, but not OK, In fact I don't know if the problem was fr.debian.org or the installer.
I had some problems when I did apt-get .... (when I choosed the profile)
But The very biiiiiiig problem was devfs, why did you use devfs ? It is not useful for an installation (path very complicated etc ...)
Please, don't use devfs.
Best regards, A "bravo" for your job, it is wonderfull, I hope that my comments will be usefull for you.
Sylvain.
