Hello! I've tested etch-test today several times and there are several problems:
1.) initramfs-tools need a dir to exist (/etc/mkinitramfs) and you have
to create it manually to make the installer work.
2.) finish-install doesn't run properly, because the postinst script of
finish-install need the options -k and -t for sort, but our busybox
version in our initrd supports only the -n option.
3.) the newest etch-test image fails to install, because the installer
found no suitable kernel-modules for the kernel he wants to install
(linux-image-2.6.15-1). This is quite strange, because there is a newer
on on the cd (linux-image-2.6.16-2).
If I manually remove the 2.5.15 image from the cd (and remaster it) the
installer try to install the correct kernel version.
----------------
solution for....
2.) I've created an new inird image, this image works partly:
- the installer doesn't recognise all languages for
installation: only c and english is supported.
- the dialog frontend of debconf looks horrible
- BUT the installer finished properly (because of the
newer busybox version)
3.) create a blacklist file in svn and exclude all debs which
are listed there. (Then we could exclude for the time both
kernel version are in etch the kernel-version we doesn't want,
etc. pp.)
Thanks to Steffen that I mustn't wait so much time until the next image
is ready! ;-)
Greetings
Patrick
