There is also 2b, a live filesystem with large libs on the CD. This has
both pros and cons. Pro, it's a general solution for including big
things in the installer since CD space is cheaper than ramdisk space.
Con, it's one more mechanism to support, compared with just having udebs
in the ramdisk, and it won't work for net install.

There are probably more pros and cons, but those were the ones I could
think of from the top of my head. :)

anna knows nothing about udebs or debs, all it cares about is that the
retriever gets (or in the case of the floppy retriever, invents) a
Packages file. The Packages file has Filename: fields that are used for
getting the (u)debs.

The restriction is in dependency handling, and in what udpkg can handle.

Bug#140579: Report: tftpboot install successfull

2002-12-31 Thread nb
PXE is the most natural method in the sens that it doesn't need any
supplementary media.
It's the one everyone can use on a real diskless machine.
It finally worked for me and her's what I've done for that.

What is PXE ?

PXE (Pre-boot Execution Environment) is a protocol designed by Intel
that allows computers to boot through the network. PXE is stored in the
ROM of new generation net
work cards. When the computer boots up, the BIOS loads the PXE ROM in
the memory and executes it. A menu is displayed, allowing the computer
to boot an operating syst
em loaded through the network.


I - here's my dhcp.conf file : (4.5.3 in debian doc)

option domain-name dagami.org;

default-lease-time 6048;
max-lease-time 604800;

allow booting;
allow bootp;

# All the next paragraph need to be modified to feet your case
subnet 10.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
# 10.1.1.10 will be the first given address
  range 10.1.1.10 10.1.1.32;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option broadcast-address 10.1.1.255;
# the gateway address which can be different (acces to the internet for
instance)
  option routers 10.1.1.2;
# indicate the dns you want to use
  option domain-name-servers 10.1.1.3;
}

host tftpserver {
# tftp server ip address
  fixed-address 10.1.1.3;
# tftp server hardware address
  hardware ethernet 00:01:02:1B:16:AF;
}

group {
 next-server 10.1.1.3;

 host tftpclient {
# tftp client hardware address
  hardware ethernet  00:10:DC:27:6C:15;
  filename   /tftpboot/pxelinux.0;
 }
}

You can see that filename is not an image but pxelinux.0
pxelinux.0 is a syslinux component (we wil see that later).

II - TFTP server (4.5.4 in debain doc)

It is neccessary to install a tftp server with tsize support (tftp-hpa
on a debian server), it will not work otherwise.

III - TFTP configuration (4.5.5 in debian doc) : completly wrong.

Here's what I did :

1/ we need a boot loader on the tftp server. syslinux contains a good
pxe one : pxelinux.0
   so install syslinux just to copy pxelinux.0 on /tftpboot directory
   We will assume /tftpboot is the root tftp directory so it MUST be the
one in /etc/inetd.conf file.

2/ create a pxelinux.cfg directory under /tftpboot and go into it

3/ create a default file with the following content :

default lanlinux
prompt 1

label lanlinux
  kernel tftpboot.img
  append load initrd=root.bin  devfs=nomount

pxelinux.0 is a boot loader which like lilo would do will load
tftpboot.img image.
tftpboot.imp is to be downloaded from tftp images. But it will not work
alone. We need a root image. So we will take the one we need (ide-pci
for instance). It's name
 is root.bin.
That's why syslinux will append it to the image.
Note that devfs=nomount is very important. We will otherwise have
problems to open a root fs.

Note also that this default file is only for pxe boot. We could add
local images as in any lilo.conf file.

4/ install tftpboot.img and root.bin in /tftpboot directory.

5/ boot from the client and have fun tftp-installing debian.


In case of problems :

take a look at the tftp server logs (/var/log/syslog on debian)
try to play with the pause key and the space bar to read error messages.
I've had some.


I think this could be a good start for a small modification in
documentation.

Etherboot (or netboot) are, as you said, an other mean for tftp-booting
while using removable media.
I will write a howto on that (if it doesn't already exist).

I hope this will help people to tftp-install debian. Let me know what
you think about this.
I'm ready to read any new (or modified) doc on the subject.

I have to say I was like a child this morning when it worked.

links :

http://clic.mandrakesoft.com/documentation/pxe/index.html

Happy new year.

Install dialogs

2002-12-31 Thread Narins, Josh
Hello Debian folks.

Just a quick suggestion/complaint.

The install disks basically suggest creating a 5-10MB /boot partition, which
has always worked for me in the past.

I recently installed Debian on a NewWorld Power Mac from CD, which uses
kernel-image-2.4.18-newpmac

I then updates my /etc/apt/sources.list to testing, and tried 'apt-get
install kernel-image-2.4.19-powerpc'

The combination of the two kernel images do not, I repeat, do not fit in a
10MB /boot partition.

Please consider changing the recommendation in the install dialogs, so other
people won't be forced to

boot from rescue CD
mount /, /boot and /usr ( /usr is required to run ybin, not
/target/usr/sbin/ybin, just /usr/sbin/ybin)
cp /boot somwhere temporary
unmount /boot
cp the temporary stuff back to /boot
edit /etc/fstab (commenting out the /boot line)
edit /etc/yaboot.conf (you have to change the partition yaboot expects to
find /boot on)
ybin -v

OK, it doesn't seem like all that much trouble, but for a relative newbie
like me, it ofttimes seemed daunting.

 /Martin

So what can udpkg handle? If we don't have to make all these udebs, we
could move on to other things. 

Sebastian and I have spent a lot of time on this, that we could've
spent on other parts of d-i. If we should follow another method, then
we should start on that method now. 

I agree that making all these udebs sucks, and it will take time to
get them all correct. 

I think we all want

1. a graphical frontend
2. that works with a net install

So, Sebastian and I are working on udebs, so that the graphical
envorinment (glib, pango, gtk-directfb) can be retrieved once the
initial ramdisk is up and running. 

Yes, we could slap together a live filesystem with X on it if we want,
and I'm sure some people will make cd images like that. But, it would
be great if you could stick your debian floopy into a machine, boot
from that floppy, download the necessary components, and run a
graphical installer with gtk. 

If we can do that with debs, great! If udpkg can only handle udebs,
then we'll continue on the udebs. Again, we have most of the udebs
working to some degree, but they need additional work. 

One issue is that using {shlibs:Depends-udeb} doesn't seem to produce
any output. I'm guessing that's because I don't have the udebs
installed on my build machine. 

Any advice here would be appreciated

michael

 What does not work out in what way ?

As long as there are pic files for gdk_directfb, mklibs goes into an
infinite loop, not able to add all the symbols. Other packages like
pango and directb had relocation errors when using the reduced
libraries. Anyhow, the space gain by reducing the libraries was not
too big. The gratest loss of weight had gtk-directfb with ~400 kB.

 I would personally rather have anna only bootstrap enough so that
 apt works, than trying to have packages to be turned into udebs, or
 get anna working with installing debs if necessary.

We still need to have an eye on the space that is occupied on the
ramdisk. The udebs do not contain any unneeded modules or
documentation and in some cases they use other compile options then
their deb counterparts. A good example is directfb:

Library from .deb:

coyote:~# ldd /usr/lib/libdirectfb-0.9.so.15
libSDL-1.2.so.0 = /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 (0x4004f000)
libm.so.6 = /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400ba000)
libX11.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x400db000)
libXext.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40195000)
libdl.so.2 = /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401a2000)
libpthread.so.0 = /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x401a5000)
libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x401f4000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x8000)

Library from .udeb

coyote:~# ldd /home/sl/debian-installer/usr/lib/libdirectfb-0.9.so.15.0.0 
libdl.so.2 = /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4004b000)
libpthread.so.0 = /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x4004f000)
libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4009e000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x8000)

If we used the .deb we needed to pull in sdl and xlibs as well, what
is certainly not what we want.

With other libraries there are similar cases.

Sebastian

However, that suggestion is specific for i386 computers. Did it slip

recommendation is to use an 800k bootstrap partition which only holds

Problem: Installation
in screen Configuring Locales
a box is displayed of locales to select
The only keys that are accepted from the keyboard are
up arrow, down arrow, and F12. up arrow and
down arrow move the cursor up and down the box.
F12 terminates processing the page and probably causes
abnormal operation of the configuration script.

A similar box problem exists in configuring the Xserver
package. It is on the page to select which screen resolutions
not to use.

I have tried various work arounds and have almost obtained
a functional Linux system, but I am now back on Windows/XP.

Uhm, that message did not change in the meantime. Where did you saw the
recommendation with 10MB?

Re: gtk frontend status report

2002-12-31 Thread Junichi Uekawa
 We still need to have an eye on the space that is occupied on the
 ramdisk. The udebs do not contain any unneeded modules or
 documentation and in some cases they use other compile options then
 their deb counterparts. A good example is directfb:

They should change their sonames, 
at least this looks very problematic, and will result in relocation
errors in some cases.


 
 Library from .deb:
 
 coyote:~# ldd /usr/lib/libdirectfb-0.9.so.15
 libSDL-1.2.so.0 = /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 (0x4004f000)
 libm.so.6 = /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400ba000)
 libX11.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x400db000)
 libXext.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40195000)
 libdl.so.2 = /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401a2000)
 libpthread.so.0 = /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x401a5000)
 libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x401f4000)
 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x8000)
 
 Library from .udeb
 
 coyote:~# ldd /home/sl/debian-installer/usr/lib/libdirectfb-0.9.so.15.0.0 
 libdl.so.2 = /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4004b000)
 libpthread.so.0 = /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x4004f000)
 libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4009e000)
 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x8000)
 
 If we used the .deb we needed to pull in sdl and xlibs as well, what
 is certainly not what we want.

i386 3.0.24 v2.4 boot floppies, installation report

2002-12-31 Thread ant
hi,

  had some time to give them[*] a try today.


  some trouble i had was that the installer skipped over
things before i could read them.

  i was able to select the language ok,
  i could select the us-english,
  at some point it skipped over something too quickly
for me to read it.
  in trying to go back to restart to see if the message would
show up the next time through it did get me back to the
top, but then i think later it skipped over things.

  for reference i do have an existing partition table that
i want to use so it might be skipping over that, but the
message goes by so quickly that i cannot read it.

  also in the Alt-F3 window the message:

  Dec date (none) user-info dbootstrap[138] : mount
Mounting /dev/hdc on nstmnt : No medium found

  is being displayed, but i cannot say at which step this
appeared (as in i don't want to go back to reboot this machine
at the moment).  i do not have a /dev/hdc so that is correct
that there isn't one, but why would it be bothering (i have
two ide drives /hda (which has windows stuff and a few linux
file systems from before) and /hdb (which has the rest of my
linux stuff on it and is where i want to put this install).


[*] so you know where i got them===
from debian.news:
...
New Boot-Floppies for Woody. Eduard Bloch [3]volunteered to
[4]coordinate the next release of Debian's boot-floppies. The next
update to Debian 3.0 is planned for about two months after r1, so
there are at least one and a half months left. The new boot-floppies
will fix known outstanding problems in some architectures and include
a more recent kernel.

Possible bug in installation

2002-12-31 Thread Skip Queen
I have tried to install Debian Woody 3.0 a total of six times and each
time the same thing happens.  My video is all screwed up.  XWindows does
not work.  When I pick up video card (i810) it won't work at all.  If I
pick VESA it will sort of work - i.e., not the resolution I pick so
things float across the screen and the resolution will not go above
800X600.  Someone told me there was a bug in the kernel.  I have had no
problem with my system using either Mandrake, Redhat, SuSE or Knoppix -
only Debian (Woody).  Can you help!  Thanks!
