Technically, it's already monday :-) -- OK, installing, with everything freshly downloaded from http://people.debian.org/~tbm/d-i/images/mipsel/daily/cobalt/netboot/ right now. The installer starts, but when the "configuring network via DHCP" part comes along, it fails, although (trumm is the DHCP server, remailer the installing machine): 00:51:44.084701 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0xdcfa9144 secs:7 [|bootp] [tos 0x10] 00:51:44.085960 trumm.tahina.priv.at.bootps > remailer.tahina.priv.at.bootpc: xid:0xdcfa9144 secs:7 Y:remailer.tahina.priv.at S:bauer.tahina.priv.at [|bootp] [tos 0x10] 00:51:46.991307 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0xdcfa9144 secs:7 [|bootp] [tos 0x10] 00:51:46.992601 trumm.tahina.priv.at.bootps > remailer.tahina.priv.at.bootpc: xid:0xdcfa9144 secs:7 Y:remailer.tahina.priv.at S:bauer.tahina.priv.at [|bootp] [tos 0x10] I select "try again", it sends no more DHCP packets, asks me for a hostname, and continues. The system is alive on the net, I can ping it. I toggle the power, and try again. Now it works. It asks for a hostname, although it has gotten one via DHCP. All the predefined partitioning schemes are missing the cobalt boot partition: "Multi-user system": | IDE1 master - 20.4 GB ST320423A # | | > #1 primary 148.0 MB B f ext3 / # | | > #5 logical 5.0 GB f ext3 /usr # | | > #6 logical 3.0 GB f ext3 /var # | | > #7 logical 16.4 MB f ext3 /tmp # | | > #8 logical 11.7 GB f ext3 /home # | | > #9 logical 518.1 MB F swap swap # | "All files in one partition": | IDE1 master - 20.4 GB ST320423A | | > #1 primary 19.9 GB B f ext3 / | | > #5 logical 509.9 MB f swap swap | "Separate partition for home directories": | IDE1 master - 20.4 GB ST320423A # | | > #1 primary 5.6 GB B f ext3 / # | | > #5 logical 14.3 GB f ext3 /home # | | > #6 logical 509.9 MB f swap swap # | So I keep the layout that's already on disk from the last installer run: | IDE1 master - 20.4 GB ST320423A # | | > #1 primary 98.6 MB B F ext2r0 /boot # | | > #2 primary 19.8 GB F ext3 / # | | > #5 logical 518.1 MB F swap swap # | The rest of the installation was OK; network configuration happens automatically (from the DHCP data), /etc/network/interfaces is generated, machine boots, fine.
