Package: mountmedia Version: 0.22 Severity: normal Tags: d-i
I have a USB stick with the hd-media kernel and initrd, a preseed file and firmware-7.5.0-i386-netinst.iso. Booting is with grub. The preseed file has a late_command which copies files from /hd-media to /target. 1. With an ethernet connection the install is flawless. 2. With a wireless connection the late_command fails. This is because /hd-media is unmounted when "Detect network hardware" is activated. The WiFi device requires non-free firmware. Commenting out the line "umount $dir 2>/dev/null || true" in mountmedia gets 1. The behaviour would appear to be connected more with the provision of firmware than the type of connection. I'm unsure what is going on but the "fix" does point to mountmedia as being involved in the issue. Identical inconsistent behaviour was discussed at https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2013/04/msg01115.html I have CCed Julien Groselle because he may have some further insight. I did not test the Jessie images because the changelog for 0.23 doesn't indicate any relevant intervening change in mountmedia. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
