Package: installation-reports Version: Test Candidate 1 flavor: I'm using images from http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-i386/tc1/images/hd-media/2.6/ architecture: i386 memory: 512 mg
I tried to install Debian sarge on my hard disk from other partition on hard driver. In the "Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide" in chapter 5.1 (http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s01.html) I can see description in "5.1.3. Booting from linux using LILO or GRUB". In the example of /etc/lilo.conf I can see this text : image=/boot/newinstall/vmlinuz label=newinstall initrd=/boot/newinstall/initrd.gz root=/dev/ram append="devfs=mount,dall" But when I tried to run install I see message "RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768)". It is because ram disk size is too small for unpack initrd.gz. When I change kernel parameters to append="devfs=ramdisk_size=16384,mount,dall" It runs good, but message "Unable to mount root fs on ram1" was displayed. When I changed line into root=/dev/ram0 then installer runs good. Line 'append="devfs=mount,dall,ramdisk_size=16384"' doesn't work ! Please, change Installation Guide.
