Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
I tried to install Sarge from an USB memory following the "flexible way"
instructions found in
[1] which are basically the same depicted in the Installation Manual [2].
[1] http://d-i.pascal.at/
[2]
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/rc2/doc/manual/
In this particular media, it is required to copy an ISO image (I tried both a
netinst and a
businesscard type from [3]), a kernel image and an initrd image (fetched from
[4] on 2005.02.06).
Unfortunately, the kernel from [4] is Linux 2.6.8-1-386, but the kernel modules
in various udeb
packages on /media/cdrom/pool/main/l/linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6 in the ISO images
from [3] are for
Linux 2.6.8-2-i386, so when Debian Installer is trying to "detect" my network
card, it complains about
not being able to find some kernel modules, warning me that the installation
most probably could
not continue (not the exact wording, but something in the lines of that), and
finally showing a
red-background screen stating that no network card could be found. Therefore, I
cannot continue the
installation (remember that I am using a netinst or businesscard ISO image).
[3] http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/current/
[4]
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/2.6
Only when I tried the RC2 images from [5] were I able to successfully install
Sarge, as the RC2
images have kernel modules udeb packages for Linux 2.6.8-1-i386, matching the
running kernel of
the installation system.
[5] http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc2/
Maybe I could extract the vmlinuz and initrd files from the El Torito boot
image somewhere inside
the current ISO images (just guessing) but it would be much better and useful
to have suitable such
files directly available in [4]. (By "suitable" I mean: able to work with
current ISO images).
Also (and this perhaps should be a separate wishlist bug report), the
installation Manual could be
improved by providing URLs for downloading ISO [6], kernel and initrd [7]
images suitable for
filling various boot media.
[6] http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/<architecture>/
[7] ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-<architecture>/
Anyway, I was really impressed by d-i, especially by the ability to so easily
set up a working
RAID1 root partition (previously a real PITA for me to accomplish). Good work,
folks!

Quoting the web site:
If you'd like something newer to help us test a future release of the
installer, or if rc2 does not support your hardware or is buggy, try one =
of
these daily built images:
* CD images
* other boot images
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Closing this bug again.
