Comments/Problems:

I burned both the netinst and business card version.

I could not get either to install or get to the point of installation..

Closest I got was with this:
ok boot cdrom linux root=/dev/rd/0 rw
I was unable to boot to rescue either.

The normal error I get when simply booting to the cdrom and not passing any
special arguments is as follows:
(normal looking output.. )
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Mounted devfs on /dev
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
 Press L1-A to return to boot prom
The error using netinst cd and root=/dev/rd/0 rw arguments:
(normal looking output..)
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Trying to move old root to /initrd ... okay
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Unimplemented SPARC system call 188

 Press L1-A to return to boot prom
The error using business card cd and root=/dev/rd/0 rw arguments was that it
looked normal at first.. Then it turned the top half of my screen red and i got 
stairstep'd ouput saying segmentation fault repeatedly.

I believe that what you say is the case.  It worked for me with 
Jeremie's floppy images, but not with Sven's.

Enjoy!

Comments/Problems:
sun4u machine.
The system is running OpenBoot3.25.

The boot command was
 ok  boot cdrom

The installer cd boots ok, and gives me a welcome prompt.
I hit return to start the installer.

It detects most of the hardware (hard disks, scsi card, external drive,
mouse, network), and then fails with this:

 sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on ramdisk(1,0)
 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
   Press L1-A to return to the boot prompt


I doubt that this is the problem, but the cdrom disc was burned with Sun's
cdrw program,
  cdrw -C -v -i sarge-sparc-netinst.iso
The arguments mean:
 -C use disc capacity (if higher than the default 600M)
 -v verbose
 -i file Image file for creating data CDs

I could loopback-mount the .iso ok on another debian box.
I could mount the burned cdrom ok on that box as well.


Also tried an earlier version, beta3 netinst of 2004-03-30
(3ed15e150e820b47886d8058d0d99d33). This failed in the same way.


Also tested with Woody 3.0 disc 1 - I got the installer to boot
(ie got the welcome prompt).
I tried to boot the installation kernel but it failed with this:
  cannot find /boot/sparc64.gz (Unknown isofs error)
which is probably my fault...

 I have commited the changes.  Notice however that the new
 partman-newworld can work properly only with the new partman packages
 and they are not uploaded yet.
 
 Looking at yaboot-installer I observed that acording to the control
 file it supports not only newworld subarchitecture but also chrp.
 However the templates say that the package supports only newworld.

the other Chrp boxes don't use a Apple_Bootstrap partition, but usually
use a PReP boot partition. I was thinking of doing a partman-prep for
it, but i first need to fix parted to recognize a prep flag, in the same
way as what was done with the palo patch.

   Booting off of floppy uses the miboot bootloader.  It's not like lilo or

   that kind of stuff.
  
  That means you'd probably like one of the first questions the installer asks 
  to be At which level would you like to install: normal, medium, expert.
  Or something like that.
  (There have been several discussions on the list about the best naming of the 
  different levels.)
  
  Personally I wouldn't mind a question like that for i386, but it looks like it 
  is necessary for your platform.
 
 Yes.  I'd say that something like that is necessary for full
 functionality on OldWorld Macs.
 
 Actually, I'd go much farther than that.  Here's part of my wish-list
 for my dream installer someday:
 
 I'd like to be able -- easily, simply, and transparently -- to navigate
 up and down the detail hierarchy at will.
 
 For example, here's one possible way to do what I'd like.  There are a
 whole universe of other ways, many probably much better than this one.
 This is just the first one that came to my mind.
 
 At any point in the process, the user should be able to hit escape (or
 some other key -- escape just has the advantage that it's mnemonic for
 stepping out of line) and immediately switch to the next more detailed
 level of configuration questions.  Some other key (maybe alt-escape?)
 should do the opposite -- shift to the next less detailed level.

Well, i was thinking of an escape key, which would pop up a priority
selecting dialog, with maybe some additional stuff (fill an online bug
report, abort the install and reboot, ...)

Proper checkpoints are apparently needed to show places were aborting a
task is possible without messing everything up.

Well, you clearly are not poor money less student, and furthermore, to
start helping out on debian-installer work, there is no advanced
programming skill needed, often nothing beyond some shell script or
Makefile knowledge, the needed hardware to make it work, and some time
to devote to it, which is hardly out of your grasp.

 this happen on my own.  Its a shame that something this important is 
 being left out and ignored.  It is maddening that releases get held up 
 forever to get things working on those Amigas, old world macs and other 
 machines that should be in a museum or junk pile, while important 
 critical features for a modern installer get ignored.

Well, i happen to care about those, since i am the powerpc kernel
maintainer, and need some of that stuff to run on _my_ hardware, and
doing the extra step needed to get it working on apus or oldwolrd is not
all that huge, so i searched for people with oldwolrd pmac to help
contribute. 

Now, i only have one disk per machine, and furthermore, i somehow fail
to see the benefit of doing software raid. What do you gain over a
single disk setup, or a true hardware raid setup ? Do you gain in disk
access speed ? Or do you really need huge contigous disk space ?

 For Debian to be taken seriously, not just something hobbyists play 
 with, some one needs to pay attention to stuff like this.

Thanks for volunteering :)

2004-04-11 Thread Holger Levsen
Hi,

   I apologize to Malte.  You were right.  I was wrong.  The kernel on the
   floppies seems to be broken.
 Ok.

 Now wee need to see why this happens. It seems that nobody was able to
 make it work with the boot floppies built by me, is that exact ? Only by
 those built by Jeremie.

I can confirm this. Yesterday I've tried your boot.img (from April-09) for 
another round, still without success. Jeromies bootfloppy and your root- and 
net-driver-floppy work fine.

Then I installed unstable, which installed kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc. This 
package installs the kernel to /boot/vmlinux-2.4.25-powerpc, but doesn't 
create a link to /boot/vmlinux. I think this is a bug, because quik (and 
quikconfig) assume that link to exist. If I set this link manually, run 
quikconfig and then quik, all I have to do is to set open firmware values 
with these commands: (to boot and install from floppies I have resetted them 
by pressing alt-apple-r-p)

nvsetenv boot-device ata/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0
nvsetenv boot-file /boot/vmlinux
nvsetenv output-device   screen
nvsetenv input-devicekbd

After this, my system (PowerMac 4400/200, 48mb) boots from hard disc.

As opposed to an earlier statement by myself there seems to be no need for a 
partman-quik: I succeded in installing quik onto a 120gb / (root) partition 
as well as on a 7gb / (root) partition. Does anybody know of limits within 
quik ? I'm very pleased that those nasty IDE limitations (the primary/logical 
partitioning crap as well) doesn't seem to exist, but I would really like for 
sure. 

Anyway, I'm not sure how to incorporate setting the open firmware values. 
Should that be part of a quik-installer ? I guess it should, but would like 
to get comments. Some macs require special open firmware settings, mostly for 
boot-device, see http://penguinppc.org/projects/quik/defaults.shtml and 
http://penguinppc.org/projects/quik/quirks.shtml) and right now I'm wondering 
whether it's possible to detect the mac modell or if it will be neccassary to 
prompt the user.

Should I fill a bug report against kernel-package-2.4.25-powerpc (quik needs 
the link) ? 

Should I fill a bug report against d-i about the successfull install on a 
120gb ide-harddisc and close the bug immediatly ?


regards,
Holger

 We need to find out why. Jeremie, did you modify
 the kernel config somehow ? Or maybe something is not ok with our builds
 or something.

 Friendly,

 Sven Luther

Bug#242976: forgets to display screen for question on backup (very strange)

 The above is nearly the minimal testcase to reproduce this. The set -x,
 the INFO line and the final db_get can be removed and it will still happen.
 The progress bar must have been brought up, or the bug will not occur.

Right. A bug in the NewtInit/NewtFinished juggling necessary for making
the progress bar work. I've committed a fix.

 Hi,

  make it work with the boot floppies built by me, is that exact ? Only by
  those built by Jeremie.
 
 I can confirm this. Yesterday I've tried your boot.img (from April-09) for 
 another round, still without success. Jeromies bootfloppy and your root- and 
 net-driver-floppy work fine.

Ok, we need to find out what is happeining here. Will we have a (or
more) oldworld machines at the Munich BSP ? 

BTW, Jeremie, maybe you would be interested in coming too ? 

 Then I installed unstable, which installed kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc. This 
 package installs the kernel to /boot/vmlinux-2.4.25-powerpc, but doesn't 
 create a link to /boot/vmlinux. I think this is a bug, because quik (and 

Well, it is problematic. The current kernel package is shared by
oldworld and new world, and the selection of yaboot or quik is done at
package building time. This is a limitation of kernel-package, which we
have to somehow work around. I would be really happy if we could get
ride of it. The idea is for the kernel-modules package to worry about
modules overwriting, and of the kernel-image package to select at
install time what boot loader is used, or even better to move this logic
into the boot-loader packages.

 quikconfig and then quik, all I have to do is to set open firmware values 
 with these commands: (to boot and install from floppies I have resetted them 
 by pressing alt-apple-r-p)
 
 nvsetenv boot-device ata/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0
 nvsetenv boot-file /boot/vmlinux
 nvsetenv output-device   screen
 nvsetenv input-devicekbd
 
 After this, my system (PowerMac 4400/200, 48mb) boots from hard disc.

Ok, this needs a quik-installer package.

 As opposed to an earlier statement by myself there seems to be no need for a 
 partman-quik: I succeded in installing quik onto a 120gb / (root) partition 
 as well as on a 7gb / (root) partition. Does anybody know of limits within 
 quik ? I'm very pleased that those nasty IDE limitations (the primary/logical 
 partitioning crap as well) doesn't seem to exist, but I would really like for 
 sure. 

Not that i know of.

No idea what the best practice is on this.

That way, quik and yaboot, can both assume the default kernel resides in

The installation kernel was kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-pmac-small from

2004-04-11 Thread Sven Luther
Package: kbd-chooser
Severity: grave
Followup-For: Bug #242489


This is not yet fixed, and rather urgent. I will upper the severity on
this one, since it is not acceptable that this remains unfixed so long.
I will also search for a fix, but in the meantime, it is good it is
submitted.

Apr 11 09:52:19 (none) user.info kbd-chooser[357]: INFO: Setting

As is seen here, it seems that the choose_keymap code only gives an
empty string, and it is thus logical that the later loading of the
keymap fails, so this must somehow be related of the keymap_select
(arch, keymap), if not earlier. I am building a monolithic image with a
version of kbd-chooser with a bit more debug info in it to track the
problem.

Yes, you are.

 kernel packages create a link from /boot/vmlinux-2.x.y-whatever to 
 /boot/vmlinux and that this link is recreated at the re(installation) of a 
 new kernel-image-package.

This is done during the boot loader specific phase of the kernel-package
provided postinst, which are mostly broken in the framework of
debian-installer, and have a tendency of asking non debconfified
questions, and thus killing the install.

 That way, quik and yaboot, can both assume the default kernel resides in

Yeah, but see above.

It is complicated, not difficult, and i think no bug report is needed.

Debian-installer on amd64.

2004-04-11 Thread Kurt Roeckx
I seem to have most things working on amd64 now.  It properly
boots, gets in the menu, retrieves some files from the archive.
It downloads a few of them and then makes me go to the shell.

I think I'm missing some udebs, but I have no idea which.  Is
there some lists of all the udebs that I need?

Or any other idea what might be wrong?

It fails to select a keyboard layout with the message:

Installation step failed
An installation step failed. You can try to run the failling item again 
from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failling step 
is: Select a keyboard layout.

I tried and it will just not workd! I get always the same error.

From Alt+F4:
user.alert kbd-chooser[505]: ERROR **: kbd-chooser cannot open file
BTW this was working before, the last one I tryed was 19-03-2004.

I continiu with the wrong keyboard settings and as usual I can't install 
the kernell.
The problem still the same as reported from me and others that have 
Compaq SmartArray.

Unable to install the selected kernel

The problem is that is sets in fstab
/dev/ida/disc0/part1 instead of /dev/ida/c0d0p1

 I seem to have most things working on amd64 now.  It properly
 boots, gets in the menu, retrieves some files from the archive.
 It downloads a few of them and then makes me go to the shell.
 
 I think I'm missing some udebs, but I have no idea which.  Is
 there some lists of all the udebs that I need?

I think I've got them all now.

Next problem is that it says it doesn't know the partition type
and says to mail here.  It also seems like he's not loading
any drivers for the disks.

127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts

2004-04-11 Thread Per Olofsson
Is there any particular reason why netcfg maps 127.0.0.1 to the
hostname in /etc/hosts? I.e.:

127.0.0.1   myhost  localhost

This makes reverse lookups quite confusing, as you expect 127.0.0.1 to
be mapped to localhost, not to the hostname. I know that GNOME and
possibly other programs need to be able to resolve the hostname, but
isn't it better to define it as an alias in that case:

127.0.0.1   localhost   myhost

There is a patch in the bts for this problem, #228375. I assme that a
fixed libc6 will be uploaded eventually, but in the meantime I'd hope
the workaround also in there, which Richard Hirst used, is enough to let
things be tested and let everything else be gotten working. Basically,
don't let this issue block you from working on the hppa port!

Bug#243193: installation report for G5

Comments/Problems:
The machine booted from CD and i saw the Yaboot prompt.  I
tried install-power4 and the kernel began to initialize.  It
got through about 30 linux until this message:
Serial driver version 5.05 (20001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS
SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI enabled
do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1)
do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1)

do_IRQ waiting for irq lock (holder=1)

During this time the fans began to speed up.  Let me tell you
they can become rather ferocious.  After googling, it looks
like that problem was fixed.  It's just that the kernel didn't
get to them yet.

So i thought maybe there's a safe version, but i didn't know
if it's install-safe-power4 or install-power4-safe.  If i
remember correctly the Yaboot prompt doesn't say that you
can type help for more help.  So someone may want to add that.

So i found the list and selected install-safe-poewer4.  It
resulted in the same problem.

I did not try the expert versions.

SW-RAID support (was: Who do you have to sleep with...)

2004-04-11 Thread W. Borgert
Well, some people at Debian are very much interested in
SW-RAID.  If only to use it on their Atari ST.

Paul, it would be absolutely great, if your current work
would go into d-i SVN.  Even if you think, that it's not
perfect yet.  Your ISO didn't work for me, but if you put it
in SVN, other people can try to enhance it.  If you don't
have much time at the moment, maybe you could send your code
to one of the d-i guys for check-in?  Joey?  Christian?

Mark, if you can test d-i SW-RAID support, this is great.
Testing (incl. giving qualified test reports) is the single
most important task for d-i, IMHO.

Cheers,

Comments/Problems:
Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, 
comments
 and ideas you had during the initial
install.
A few notes, more or less in order:
(0)Bravo for the use of
kernel 2.4.25 and XF86 4.3: at least Debian Sarge is somewhat keeping up
with the Jones. I just hope that KDE 3.2.1+ will be part of it,
that Sarge will not use KDE 3.1.x.
(1)my tv card, an ATI TV
WONDER/VE was not detected, nor was the related kernel module
loaded.
(2)the PCMCIA kernel modules
were still loaded. I had to remove those two modules manually (pcmcia-cs
 kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.25-1-386). Considering new the installer
is supposed to automatically detect hardware, it should have detected I
have no PCMCIA hardware on my *nix box, as well as my TV card and not
loaded extra modules I do not need and loaded the missing one.
(2.1)on my first (or is it second?) run
with d-i 20040408, I have observed that the presence of the PCMCIA
modules can interfere with subsequent operations, more specifically with
proper operation of debconf. You'd loose the ability to specify options
(paper size, etc.) on the first debconf screen. If you wanted a
reason to make sure those modules are not loaded, that was one.
(3)Partitioning: because the
installer gives you only two choices (taking over the whole hard disk or
letting you edit the partition table manually), I had to go the manual
route to make sure my FAT32 partition did not get deleted. I wonder
if a third choice would not have been possible, to let me keep my FAT32

I already had this working at one time, so some one else broke it. Jeff
Bailey and I worked on it for quite awhile.

So what happened? People break things without knowing, or just don't
care to test changes?

How about just adding rw to the appended options?

Also, isofs.b doesn't need to be on the CD (as I've said before).

And finally, I am getting sick of your attitude towards ports and
developers. It's the main reason I wont work on the debian-installer.

I'm pulling the cd image now, and I will try the fix. If that works,
I'll tell you and you can make the change in your debian-installer repo.

BTW, the installer is broken. It seems to expect the need to load cd

Why is that?

My mistake, the initrd doesn't contain the ide-cd module. That needs to
be fixed. It used to be there. Someone must have removed that.

/etc/fstab

2004-04-11 Thread Andrew Pollock
Is it partman that takes care of creating /etc/fstab in the installation
target?

Just wondering if it's worthwhile getting with the times (compared to Red
Hat) and using filesystem labels or UUIDs in /etc/fstab instead of block
devices? It's certainly better for SCSI systems when a disk fails.

I only discovered UUID support today, which in my mind, negates the value in
packaging devlabel for Debian.

This would require (presumably) partman to give each filesystem a label when
they're created (if supported by the filesystem) and then using that label
in /etc/fstab, or the UUID (I think the UUID is probably more global, not
all filesystems support the concept of a label).

What do people think?

regards

Andrew

 Hi,

  Ok.
 
  Now wee need to see why this happens. It seems that nobody was able to
  make it work with the boot floppies built by me, is that exact ? Only by
  those built by Jeremie.
 
 I can confirm this. Yesterday I've tried your boot.img (from April-09) for 
 another round, still without success. Jeromies bootfloppy and your root- and 
 net-driver-floppy work fine.
 
I just tried the 11-April-2004 ppc boot.img and it seems that it does not work.  I get 
Tux sitting by a Mac, the floppy gets ejected but there are no on screen prompts as 
with the old installer.  I can insert the root disc and it seems to read it but 
finishes a short while later with nothing else happening.  I have to eject the disc 
manually.  This sounds like what has already been described by others.  Is there a 
working image to be found?

Can you actually demonstrate this?

AFAICS, `USian' is a mildly pejorative[*] term used mainly by
usenet/slashdot types, and is essentially never used in the `real world'.

[*] Given the butt-head way the U.S. has been acting the last few years, I
can understand the desire to rebuke, but `USian' is quite awkward and
tends to be misleading, as it's often accompanied by silly screeds
about how the term American is wrong, etc. -- if you want to rebuke,
a term like Amerikan [often used the same sorts of people that like
USian], while equally ugly, at least sticks to being purely
pejorative.

Re: /etc/fstab

* Andrew Pollock [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-04-12 10:05]:
 Is it partman that takes care of creating /etc/fstab in the
 installation target?

Yes, at least on those platforms using partman (some, such as mips and
s390 will continue to use partconf which uses the partconf-mkfstab
package for /etc/fstab).  In partman, all filesystems have a /fstab.d/
directory with a files outputting a proper fstab entry.

 Just wondering if it's worthwhile getting with the times (compared to Red
 Hat) and using filesystem labels or UUIDs in /etc/fstab instead of block
 devices? It's certainly better for SCSI systems when a disk fails.
 
 I only discovered UUID support today, which in my mind, negates the value in
 packaging devlabel for Debian.

Someone mentioned UUIDs on IRC the other day and it sounds
interesting; but can you give a specific example for those you've
never seen this before?

Also, can we use UUIDs and old /dev/xx names together?

   * Martin Michlmayr
 - Split arm into sub-architectures: use msdos for netwinder, bast and
   riscstation.  Other sub-arches are not supported at the moment (most
   of them require acorn labels).
 - Make partman the default on arm.  Those sub-arches not supported by
   parted are currently not supported by debian-installer anyway.
   Those which are supported use msdos labels.
   * Anton Zinoviev
 - make clearer in the description of the main menu that selecting a
   device creates a new empty partition table in it
 - move the finish and undo item in choose_partition menu before the
   partition table.
 - the description of the template of the main menu is clearer and is
   visible at startup.  Also partman-target provides a help item in
   the main menu.  Thanks to Martin Michlmayr (closes: #238381).
 - two dividers -- before and below the partition table.
 - in the confirmation dialog say which partitions are going to be
   formatted.  Thanks to Sven Luther, Mario Girlando and Frans Pop
   (closes: #237009, #238389, #239388).
 - templates: make partman/confirm_write_new_label translatable
 - parted_server.c: do not generate exceptions when creation of file
   system fails.
 - definitions.sh: write separator in the log file.  This keeps track
   in the log file which scripts are being executed.
 - definitions.sh (debconf_select): convert the first space in the
   options to non-break space as otherwise the default options is
   ignored if it starts with space.
 - visual.d/method: show the smileys for all methods, not only for keep
   and format.
 - add a new script update.d/default_visuals
 - visual.d/{filesystem,mountpoint} use visual_{filesystem,mountpoint}
 - definitions.sh (valid_human): allow strings ending with spaces
 - parted_server.c: new function named_partition_is_virtual
 - parted_server.c (command_get_file_system): report file system only
   when the partition is not virtual.  Thanks to Martin Michlmayr,
   closes: #238386
 - parted_server.c (command_resize_partition): do not commit the new
   partition table if the partition was virtual, do not resize the file
   system in virtual partitions
 - parted_server.c (command_resize_partition): return the right value
   of the end of the new partition geometry
 - parted_server.c (get_resize_range): do not take into account the
   file system in virtual partitions
 - add dependency on di-utils-mapdevfs
 - definitions.sh (human2longint): when no multiplier is given the
   default is megabytes.  Thanks to dan_at_watson.ibm.com, closes: #239561
 - rules: remove .svn directories from the package
 - show which partition we are editing in the active_partition
   menu. Thanks to Gaby Schilders, bilbrey_at_orbdesigns.com and
   Matthew Woodcraft, closes: #238712, #239430, #239445.
 - definitions.sh (menudir_default_choice): do not run the choice
   scripts in order to find the item-id.  Take the id as argument
   instead
 - parted_server.c (partition_info): parted returns wrong paths of the
   devices of the partitions in dvh (SGI) disk labels.  Correct them.
   Thanks to Thiemo Seufer, Nicholas Breen and Maitland Bottoms,
   closes: #220990, #238363, #239648.
 - do not provide partitioned-harddrives on mips (parted recognises but
   can not edit properly dvh disk labels
 - change the main-menu number of partman on mips from 49 to 44: use
   partitioner to partition harddrives but partman instead of partconf
 - definitions.sh (partition_tree_choices): shorten the indent of the
   partitions; visual.d/name: change the width of the name from 14-12.
   These changes are because dvh disk labels have both primary/logical
   partitions and partition names so the space is not enough for the
   mount point.
 - parted_server.c: fix segmentation fault when resizing partition with
   no file system
 - do not remove

Bug#243251: Sarge Business Card ISO does not detect the modem nor set up a PPP network link.

2004-04-11 Thread Brock
Package: installation-reports

Debian-installer-version:
Fill in date and from where you got the image
---
2004-04-11
From
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/i386/beta3/sarge-i386-businesscard.iso
Located on this web page:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

uname -a: The result of running uname -a on a shell prompt

Unable to run this command. Sarge did not install.

Date: Date and time of the install

2004-04-11 at roughly 12pm Central Time

Method: How did you install?  What did you boot off?  If network
  install, from where?  Proxied?
-
Using the Sarge Business Card ISO CD Image. I can't tell what version
of that ISO Image it is. I'm not sure how to find out.

I booted off the CD, made from that Image File.

I was hoping to be able to access the network through modem via PPP
protocol in order to complete the network install. However it did not
detect the modem, nor did it set up PPP.


Machine: Dell Dimension 2400
Processor: Celeron 2.4GHz
Memory: 256MB
Root Device: IDE, planned on setting up /dev/hdd
Root Size/partition table: Wasn't able to go far with this. I was able
to partition using the menu driven interface, but if I opened a second
virtual console, and tried to run cfdisk or fdisk, they could not
recognize the devices, /dev/hda /dev/hdb, etc. However, the
partitioning and formating worked with the menu driven routine. ( I was
able to partition and format one as FAT32, which the dual-booted (or
I'm hoping soon to be dual-booted) Windows XP could recognize. So no
hard drive problems. Just kinda wonder why, Though that, cfdisk and
fdisk didn't work, yet the menu driven interface did.

Output of lspci:
Not able to run this command. (never fully installed)

Beta 3

For beta 3 of the Debian-Installer, the following images are available
for testing. These images will install Debian's testing distribution
(sarge). The Installation HOWTO provides a quick walkthrough of the
installation process, while the Sarge Installation Manual provides more
details. Also, see our FAQ.

* 100 MB CD image, includes Debian base [i386] [ia64] [alpha]
[powerpc] [sparc]
* 30 MB CD image, requires net access [i386] [ia64] [alpha]
[powerpc] [sparc]
* boot floppy image [i386]
* root floppy image [i386]
* CD drivers floppy [i386]
* network drivers floppy [i386]
* USB mass storage boot image [i386]
* netboot and other boot images [i386] [ia64] [alpha] [m68k] [mips]
[powerpc] [sparc]

After testing the Debian-Installer, please send us an installation
report, so we can track and fix any problems you may find. The errata
page lists known problems and workarounds.
\\===

I'm assuming net access means any normal means of accessing the
Internet. I have a modem, and I know PPP is a cynch to set up.
(extremely tiny) and very easy. So I'm assuming this would mean anyone
with a network card or modem. Or

 Someone mentioned UUIDs on IRC the other day and it sounds
 interesting; but can you give a specific example for those you've
 never seen this before?

I've never used UUIDs, but here for example is the setup with labels on
my 4-drive scsi server:

/dev/sda1   /   ext3errors=remount-ro   0   1
LABEL=home  /home   ext3defaults0   2
LABEL=backup/backup ext3defaults0   2
LABEL=homebackup /backup/kite/home  ext3defaults0   2
LABEL=root2 /backup/root2   ext3noauto  0   2
LABEL=root3 /backup/root3   ext3noauto  0   2
LABEL=root4 /backup/root4   ext3auto0   2
LABEL=svn   /svnext3defaults0   2

Note that you can't use labels for / (or there's no point, as the kernel
mounts it). My setup is notable in that I can remove any number of the 4
drives and the system will still boot from one of the remaining root*
partitions, and despite any scsi renumbering, will still find and mount
/home, etc (if its drive is still available). This is nice, since the
server is thousands of miles away. 

It would look similar with UUIDs, except without the nice names.

Comments/Problems:
Installation generally went very well. I ended up with a working system.
There were no entries in fstab for cdrom and floppy, but that is known erro=
r.

ISSUE 1 - base-installer
Main problem is wrong selection of kernel.
Install base system selected 2.4.25-1-386, this should be 2.4.25-1-686.

INSTALL REPORT

Debian-installer-version: daily sid build from 10-March-2004
uname -a: 2.4.25
Method: boot from IDE CD-ROM, using netinst ISO, installin to SCSI disk

Machine: No-name desktop PC
Processor: P2
Memory: 128 MB
Root Device: SCSI, also has a IDE CD-ROM

Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked:[O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network: [ ] Didn't ask me to configure it even two I have 2 net cards
Detect CD:  [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives:  [O] lots of partman and LVM issues
Create file systems:[O] partman forgot my configurationo
Mount partitions:   [O]
Install base system:[O]
Install boot loader:[O]
Reboot: [O]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:

OK, first I wanted to partition the hard drive.  I chose Automatically
partition a drive, use entire, separate partition for $HOME.  Then I
get a menu which says:

 - finish partition and write changes
 - automatically partition
 - undo changes
 - configure lvm

Well, I just did automatically partition so I don't think this menu
option should be there again.  Also, the automatic partitioner did not
create a physical volume (PG) for LVM, so the configure LVM menu option
should not be there either.

The automatically partitinoner made good default choices, but I don't like
that it decided to use logical partitions.  If it creates 4 or less
partitions, I think only primary partitions should be used.  Instead, it
created:

  #1 primary root
  #5 logical swap
  #6 logical /home

Anyway, I was stupid enough to try LVM (I thought it would allow me to
create a PV), but it only gave me those options:
  Volume Groups
  Logical Volmes
  Leave

Obviously that failed since I didn't have any Physical Volumes.  Only later
I realized that they have to be created before choosing configure LVM.
As I said above, this menu entry should not be there if there are no
Physical Volums.

So I choose LVM, and it tell me that it is going to write changes to the
parition before continuing.  Okay.  Then LVM fails because I have no PVs.
So I get back to that menu.  I see those 3 partitions, decide crap, I want
a PV... so I want to configure the partition myself.  I therefore select
undo changes to partitions, but that does _nothing at all_.   (Later I
realized I could probably have gone to the /home partition, removed it and
created some new stuff; but I didn't realize that I can actually go up
there.)  Anyway, undo changes should not be there after the changes have
been written to disk.

Okay, I'm totally confused by now.  I cannot do LVM, undoing my partitions
doesn't undo anything, and I have no idea how to edit my partition.  So I
go to the main menu and choose Partition disks.  Unfortunately, this
does not start from scratch and ask me if I want to do the automatic stuff
or Be A Man and do it myself... it simply shows me my existing partition.
Arg!

So I decide to wipe the whole thing with cfdisk and start all over.  Here I
find

To set up swap space, I have to tell it to format the partition, and
then select swap as the typo. I don't think of swap space as being
formatted, so this was midly confusing. I think that the usage method
and file system items could be combined into one menu item, which
would have the options do not use this partition, keep and use
existing data on this partition, plus the filesystem types and swap.
This would address my swap formatting confusion, and simplify it
generally.

I believe that partman should be providing information on the mount
point of the partition being formated in the progress box, in order to
avoid bad surprises when swap suddenly gets partitioned, while you never
told it to. Not good for bad heart cases the way it currently is, and i
seriously thought d-i had eaten my disk again.

INSTALL REPORT

Debian-installer-version: daily sid build from 10-March-2004
uname -a: 2.4.25
Method: boot from IDE CD-ROM, using netinst ISO, installin to SCSI disk

Machine: No-name desktop PC
Processor: P2
Memory: 128 MB
Root Device: SCSI, also has a IDE CD-ROM

Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked:[O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network: [ ] Didn't ask me to configure it even two I have 2 net cards
Detect CD:  [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives:  [O] lots of partman and LVM issues
Create file systems:[O] partman forgot my configurationo
Mount partitions:   [O]
Install base system:[O]
Install boot loader:[O]
Reboot: [O]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:

OK, first I wanted to partition the hard drive.  I chose Automatically
partition a drive, use entire, separate partition for $HOME.  Then I
get a menu which says:

 - finish partition and write changes
 - automatically partition
 - undo changes
 - configure lvm

Well, I just did automatically partition so I don't think this menu
option should be there again.  Also, the automatic partitioner did not
create a physical volume (PG) for LVM, so the configure LVM menu option
should not be there either.

The automatically partitinoner made good default choices, but I don't like
that it decided to use logical partitions.  If it creates 4 or less
partitions, I think only primary partitions should be used.  Instead, it
created:

  #1 primary root
  #5 logical swap
  #6 logical /home

Anyway, I was stupid enough to try LVM (I thought it would allow me to
create a PV), but it only gave me those options:
  Volume Groups
  Logical Volmes
  Leave

Obviously that failed since I didn't have any Physical Volumes.  Only later
I realized that they have to be created before choosing configure LVM.
As I said above, this menu entry should not be there if there are no
Physical Volums.

So I choose LVM, and it tell me that it is going to write changes to the
parition before continuing.  Okay.  Then LVM fails because I have no PVs.
So I get back to that menu.  I see those 3 partitions, decide crap, I want
a PV... so I want to configure the partition myself.  I therefore select
undo changes to partitions, but that does _nothing at all_.   (Later I
realized I could probably have gone to the /home partition, removed it and
created some new stuff; but I didn't realize that I can actually go up
there.)  Anyway, undo changes should not be there after the changes have
been written to disk.

Okay, I'm totally confused by now.  I cannot do LVM, undoing my partitions
doesn't undo anything, and I have no idea how to edit my partition.  So I
go to the main menu and choose Partition disks.  Unfortunately, this
does not start from scratch and ask me if I want to do the automatic stuff
or Be A Man and do it myself... it simply shows me my existing partition.
Arg!

So I decide to wipe the whole thing with cfdisk and start all over.  Here I
find

 - rules: remove .svn directories from the package
 - resizing:
 1. do not allow sizes bigger or smaller than possible.
Thanks to Laurens Blankers, closes: #239208
 2. accept max and nn% as shortcuts for the value of the new size
 3. write changes to the storage device and resize the file system
in the partition only when the partition already exists in the
storage device.  Thanks to Laurens Blankers and
dan_at_watson.ibm.com, closes: #239435, #239562
 - new partition:
 1. the default type is logical when the new partition is near
extended partition.  Thanks to Joey Hess, closes: #235505.
 2. better defaults for the new partition: usage method (format),
file system (ext3) and mount point (first unused from /, /home,
/usr, /tmp, /usr/local).  The bootable flag is untouched
though.  Thanks to Joey Hess and dan_at_watson.ibm.com,
closes: #235367, #239557.
 3. in the main menu of partman the item for the new partition is
default
 4. add progress bar while computing the new state (this happened
to be quiet slow...)

I am surprised to hear there is no official translation of Netherlands
in Slovakia.
I have done just a search with google, and found on the following page
http://monyr.webpark.cz/nizozemsko.htm titled Nizozemsko-Holandsko
  note cz top level domain (czech republic)

(Nederland-Holland) 

If the author of the page is not dumb, I guess that Nizozemsko have
something to do with Netherland.
  yes it does, it's an official czech name for netherlands (it's a 
czech translation of netherlands).

  partitionable hard drives. I don't think a user wants to format the=20
  disk he's installing from... :)
=2D On the final question where it asks if you want to proceed with=20
  partitioning/formatting/mounting, it should probably print a summary
  of the changes it is about to make to the hd or, at least, a summary
  of the partitions it is about to wipe clean. Just to be sure a newbie
  doesn't delete its windows partition by mistake :)

Other than that, it was flawless. Great work, people!

Comments/Problems:

I chose to install testing.  Unstable fails for the same reason as 
reported for sparc in #236364.

Detecting hardware was run twice - the second time through, the selected
menu item advanced properly.

The partitioning tool proved troublesome.
 - Default partition table selection should be 'dvh'.
 - When editing an individual partition, the name option doesn't seem
   to do anything, and any name entered in that screen does not appear
   when you continue.  The bottom of the dialog box also overlaps the
   Continue/Go Back buttons, which show up as Continuek.  (Other
   narrow dialog boxes in partconf do similar things.)
 - Toggling the boot flag option does nothing.
 - The partition table created is no good.

Here's the partition table as created by partman:

Disk disc (SGI disk label): 67 heads, 62 sectors, 1009 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4154 * 512 bytes

- partitions -
Pt#   Device  Info StartEnd   Sectors  Id  System
 1:part1   1 93386322   3  SGI raw
 2:part2  94   1008   3800910   3  SGI raw
11:part3   0   1009   4193800   6  SGI volume

The partitions themselves are not given the usual 0x82 or 0x83 types.
Also, no volume header is created; since that's where the bootloader
should be installed, the system is unbootable at the end.

Attempting to continue at this point caused the menu to loop back
to Partition disks instead.  mkreiserfs was run, judging by the
messages on console 3, but the partition was not mounted on /target.
Selecting configure and mount partitions froze the installer
completely.

After rebooting, I fdisk'ed the drive from the shell:

- partitions -
Pt#   Device  Info StartEnd   Sectors  Id  System
 1:part1  swap 5 95378014  82  Linux swap
 2:part2  boot96   1008   3792602  83  Linux native
 9:part3   0  4 20770   0  SGI volhdr
11:part4   0   1008   4191386   6  SGI volume

Partitions 9 and 11 were created automatically by creating an SGI
partition table (commands x, g).  Filesystems were added with
the configure and mount partitions tool.

After successfully installing the base system, the menu selection
moved all the way
