I recently tried out Debian/Testing (I am a new user), and I would like to report the following 2 issues:
1. the DHCP detection succeeded, but I don't want to use the DHCP server - I want to put in a static IP. This is not a showstopper. Also, it is very easy to work around - unplug the NIC until DHCP detection fails.
2. I have a SCSI raid device. I selected for it to be used by the new OS, but not formatted. After the install's reboot, I get an error message from FSCK about being unable to open /dev/sda1.
fsck.ext3: No suck device or address while trying to open /dev/sda1
Possibly non-existent or swap device?
If I press ctrl-D (as prompted), the install continues...
After the install completes, I press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a console:
# mount /raid/ kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3 FS 2.4-0.9.19, 19 August 2002 on sd(8,1), internal journal EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. # ls /raid ... contents of the volume are printed ...
I then rebooted. I got the same error message as before from FSCK. Now when I try to mount /raid, I get: # mount /raid mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
I need to do:
# insmod dpt_i2o # mount /raid
I don't know what the right fix for this is, perhaps adding dpt_i2o to initrd?
