Package: simple-cdd
Version: 0.3.11
Severity: normal
Given a fresh new directory, I simply
$ mkdir my-simple-cdd-squeeze
$ cd my-simple-cdd-squeeze
$ simple-cdd
...
It successfully creates an image:
$ ls -l images/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 paul paul 134M 2009-09-29 17:37
images/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso
I then run it on a new blank image:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=qemu-test.hda bs=1M count=2048
$ kvm -hda qemu-test.hda -cdrom images/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso -boot d
When the image boots I choose the normal "installer".
After choosing language and keyboard layout, it complains that:
No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch
between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the
kernel version available in the archive.
So I continue without modules.
It then of course fails to detect network hardware (without the drivers
for it), so I skip that too and move on to disk partitioning.
It complains (with a red background) that "Logical Volume Manager not
available". Hitting continue here moves on to the "Partition disks"
screen.
This screen has pre-selected a guessed arrangement for the disks. If I
hit <No> I just get stuck in a loop, not being able to run the manual
partitioner. Hitting <Yes> sends it off to create the partition and mkfs
it, but it then fails to mount with a generic "The attempt to mount a
filesystem with type ext3 in IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) at /
failed." message. It gives no further information on why.
At this point the installation can go no further.

#548919: simple-cdd: Built images fail to have modules, partition, or mount
filesystems
#780812: simple-cdd: mount a file system with type ext4 ... failed.
Both of these bugs are due to transient problems in debian-installer
(e.g. different kerel version in the installer and the archive), and
thus simple-cdd can't really do anything to work around the issue.
