If I'm correct, Samuel changed translations accordingly.

Anyway, unfortunately, the installation manual is something we only
care about at release time. So, as always, last minutes changes are
possible (and often really needed).

So, I think we should call a "soft freeze", meaning that changes
should be discussed in -boot beforehand.

Also, remember that Samuel is the "de facto" installation manual
"release manager" mostly because only him cared about it since Frans
left us

(and all this makes your own contribution even more useful, Holger, as
we now have another person taking care of the install manual..:-))

I just discovered, that the d-i manual still lists hppa as
release architecture (chapter 2.1.1). 
This is no longer true (since squeeze already).

Should that be corrected? (should be possible without help
from translators. The summary lists "eleven architectures",
while the table contains twelve, so when we drop hppa from
the table, the summary is again true ;-) )

as we are in the phase of getting translations in sync with
English, the manual should probably considered frozen?
This has unfortunately not been propagated before though.
Can the last changes be reverted?

Alright! It would be useful to make that documentation more clearly
available, because as things stand people digging for wheezy install
docs find the alioth page instead.

But maybe that's just me...

I think this bug can be closed if you are satisfied with the
documentation.

Thanks for the investigation and your care looking out for the root
cause of this.

This bug, and probably all other "hang" bugs, should be reassign to
the kernelpackage.

Before doing so, I'm awaiting for input from a Kerneal Team person.

After some googling I found out that the root cause of the recent mount 
problems with extended partitions (maybe also mounting disks like sda)
are related to the infinite loop kernel bug in __getblk_slow. 

(see the explanation: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1189121/)
The affected debian kernels should get fixed with the patch offered in kernel 
3.2.24 (http://lwn.net/Articles/508225/).

Thank you very much for the patch: I've just applied it.

I could continue with the installation after adding "exit 0" at the

On the same machine the Squeeze mdadm command 

exits  successfully:

The boot flags can be viewed by pressing F5? F6? (one of those) on the
setup boot screen and then navigating to the boot line with cursor keys
and adding the boot parameter below before the double dash at the end of
the line.
The flag to disable the Hyper-V IDE drivers [ VVM: i.e. hv_storvsc not prefered 
ata_piix to work with IDE HDD ] is:

add the Hyper-V kernel modules ( as minimum,

hv_utils

hv_storvsc
hv_netvsc

Bug#684293: installation-reports: Installer hangs at iso-scan step while mounting an extended partition

2012-08-08 Thread M H
Package: installation-reports
Severity: important

The Wheezy hd-media installer (daily from 08-08) hangs at the 

step "Searching drives for an installer ISO image", 
while mounting the extended partition /dev/sda4.
This partition should never be mounted.

The ouptut of ps w is given below:

1291 root  5728 S    udpkg --configure --force-configure iso-scan
 1292 root  3980 S    {iso-scan.postin} /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/iso-
scan.postinst configure

 1960 root  3980 R    mount -t auto -o ro /dev/sda4 /hd-media
 1969 root  3980 R    ps w

As a workaround the process 1291 can be killed to continue with the
installation.
The hang is caused by the script iso-scan.postinst (package: iso-scan), where
the extended partition is not omitted from the device list.
This bug has the same cause as the mountmedia bug #683849.

The following untested patch should solve this issue:

Subject: Wheezy nightly build (netinst / businesscard) can't find disk drive on 
Hyper-V VMs
From: Oskar Senft

Hi

I just tried to use the nightly build of netinst and businesscard of
Wheezy on a virtual machine running on Hyper-V.

The problem is that the the driver for the (virtual) hard disks is not
loaded. As far as I can tell this is due to the fix for bug #661318,
which now causes the ata_piix to no longer load on Hyper-V because the
hv_storvsc should be used instead.

However, the Hyper-V kernel modules (hv_storvsc et al) are missing in
the current netinst and businesscard installer image for AMD64 - I did
not check on x86 or any other installer type.


From what I can tell the following kernel module should be part of the

installer to support installation on Hyper-V virtual machines:
/lib/modules/3.2.0-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/hyperv/hv_netvsc.ko
/lib/modules/3.2.0-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/hv_storvsc.ko
/lib/modules/3.2.0-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/hv
/lib/modules/3.2.0-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/hv/hv_vmbus.ko
/lib/modules/3.2.0-2-amd64/kernel/drivers/hv/hv_utils.ko

I'd be happy to raise a bug on this, but I wanted to check first if this
is a know problem. Google and the debian-boot archives don't know
anything about it.

What's the correct procedure to raise bugs on the installer?

Thanks
Oskar.

You mention "it hangs". Is the machine really hanged? What about
Ctrl-Alt-F2 to switch to the console? Or reaching the machine from the
network.

To investigate the issue, X maintainers need the full X.org log
(/var/log/Xorg.0.log) as well as the output of "dmesg".

I don't think anyone has suggested that the wording is wrong, just not what
is expected by many users. (Not that I agree with those standards, but
that's irrelevant.)

Please have a look at IEC 60027-2 (or Wikipedia) to make clear that 
the wording is absolutely correct. So if anybody wants to change 
the units of measurement, a change to the wording _and_ the code 
is required.
