I'm out of office until wednesday... I don't know when the server will go into production, so i'm not sure how many tests we can do, at the moment it's still a clean install and it will probably need to be reinstalled as debian 3.1 (using HPDE installers) so i think i should have the time to retry the 4.0 RC1 install... As to partitioning: the disks were already partitioned due to earlier tests with sarge, i just assigned the mount points, tried to run the installer and it told me i had an already installed system (installing on an unclean system could lead to problems blah blah), i then went back to partitioning and chose the format partition option for all partitions i created an installed. Hope this gives a bit extra info. Please let me know what could be required as testing should i reinstall. Simply reinstall as i did this time? anything particular to look at? Thanks, Luca

The relevant bit is a bit earlier: Jan 12 05:13:00 main-menu[2078]: INFO: Menu item 'user-setup-udeb' selected Jan 12 05:13:01 main-menu[2078]: INFO: Falling back to the package description for auto-install This shows that user-setup _was_ run and it appears to have run without errors. At this point you really should have been asked the questions about root passwords and user account. The next log item shows that user-setup completed almost immediately. Certainly too fast to have you answer its questions... However, there is no indication at all of what may have gone wrong. I've tried some things to see if I could reproduce the behavior, but I cannot. If the questions were indeed not asked, that explains the later error you pointed out. Jan 12 05:13:01 main-menu[2078]: INFO: Menu item 'base-installer' selected Jan 12 05:13:08 base-installer: error: exiting on error base-installer/unclean_target_cancel Jan 12 05:13:09 main-menu[2078]: WARNING **: Configuring 'base-installer' failed with error code 30 Jan 12 05:13:09 main-menu[2078]: WARNING **: Menu item 'base-installer' failed. This shows that at least something weird happened during your installation. Did you make a mistake during partitioning? However, normally that should not affect the way users are set up. As this is the first time this has been reported, I'm inclined to treat it as a fluke. I'm still reopening the report and reassigning it to the relevant component as IMO it should be available for reference for a while. It would be great if you could try to reproduce this. In that case we can try some additional debugging. Thanks for providing the additional information. Cheers, FJP
