 I don't know anything about LVM, but wouldn't a subdirectory of /dev/ be
 a way to fix this?

LVM creates devices under /dev.  You first create a Physical Group on
an existing /dev/ide/.. device (or sda, md, etc).  Then you create a
Volume Group, based on one of more Physical Groups.  This Volume Group
foo is created as /dev/foo.  Then you create Logical Groups (the
actualy partitions you then format as ext3, etc), and they are created
as /dev/foo/bar.

There's nothing we can do about this.

Bug#246877: successfull installation on m68k/amiga

 No, at least not on the 040's and better.

It was slow, but compared to the rest of the installer, it was not
increadibly slow, ie it takes a while after selecting somthing until the
next menu comes up. partman does not really stand out that as a bad example.
This might have been the first time partman has been tested on an
m68k/amiga, and it works. So maybe now I can lower my bug count by demoting
amiga-fdisk to optional...
 
 I think m68k is okay for beta 4.

Yup. I sent Stephen a few comments about the iso, two icons should be moved
around so the install files can be found easily. But I haven't had the
chance yet to test the CD in an Amiga, and I think there was a similar
problem on the woody CDs which was never fixed...

Bug#240504: installation-reports: Work around

2004-05-02 Thread societelibre
Package: installation-reports
Version: '#240504'
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #240504

See Bug #244783 (package: pcmcia-cs) for a work around this bug. 

Basically, there is a
problem with resource ranges for pcmcia on Inspiron laptops. When you
run the debian-installer, after load installer components from CD, go
to a console and type:
- cd /etc/pcmcia
- mv config.opts config.opts.old
- sed s/, port 0x800-0x8ff// config.opts.old  config.opts

This will prevent the detect hardware feature to hang at 95% when
detecting the floppy.

However, you also have to make sure that pcmcia is not started
automatically when you reboot your computer after your installation, as
it seemed to hang again on my computer (probably due to the same bug).
So before rebooting, go to a console and type (2 is the default
run-level):
- cd /target/etc/rc2.d
- rm S20pcmcia

That seems to work on my computer. I haven't used pcmcia yet though.

 The 'method' file says 'newworld'.  The 'filesystem' file says 'ext3',

 Perhaps setting 'method' to 'newworld' should also set 'filesystem'

Hm, I thought that the presence of /lib/partman/parted_names/newworld

Comments/Problems:

The drive I installed Sarge on already had two bootable partitions.  When
I made the Sarge partition (hdb5) bootable, the other bootable partitions
were marked bootable.  I tried making them bootable again, but the
partition
manager wouldn't allow more than one partition on the drive to be marked
bootable.  (Running cfdisk as soon as installation was done solved the
problem.)

The grub installer detected my other Linux installations successfully,
but
it did not detect Windows XP on /dev/hda1.  (Editing /boot/menu.lst
solved the
problem.)

I find the button Go Back confusing.  In the dialog box asking whether
to
write the partition table, for instance, it's not obvious that Go Back
means Go back to the main menu, rather than Go back to editing the
partition table.  You might consider replacing Go Back with Main
Menu.
Or you could add explanations in appropriate places of what Go Back
will do.

Note: I used the linux26 option.

Thanks,
Rob

 After the initial boot, the language selection came up:

   At this point in the install it is not clear that this choice can still be

Someon else reported this recently.  Maybe US layout should be used

 - The top choice was a row of question marks, although `exotic' scripts
   like korean and japanese looked fine.

This has been fixed.

 Keyboard selection:
 - In the Keyboard selection dialog, the Terug [Back] button didn't work.

Is this still there?

 - My pcmcia network card wasn't detected. The dialog box asking about the
   network driver didn't mention pcmcia, so it was unclear what to do. I
   picked one (pcnet_cs), it couldn't use that, but proceeded to try DHCP, and
   didn't complain.

This has probably been fixed.

 Selecting hard drive partitions:
 - It is counter-intuitive to have to choose Einde [End] in the dialog
   where partitions are chosen for mounting.

The partitioning tool is totally different now.

 After reboot:
 - During reboot, there were many messages about unresoved symbols in the

   driver, whereas this machine needs yenta_socket. Changing

 This report will lead to subsequent bug reports against the given packages
 asking them to *lower*  the debconf priority they use.
 
 I will make another installation with ALL tasks selected in tasksel. I'm
 already prepared to a nightmare.
 
 PLEASE fellow DD's, STOP ABUSING DEBCONF. 

Have you filed bug reports against those packages?  What's the status?

Bug#228654: installation-reports: ide-detect lockup on Alpha PWS500a

2004-05-02 Thread Martin Michlmayr
* John Lightsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-01-22 10:02]:
 Well  I just spent a few hours backing some changes out of
 arch/alpha/kernel/pci.c and compiling a new 2.4.24 kernel, but I'm coming up
 empty handed.  The diff between 2.4.19 and 2.4.20 is 70 lines long.
 
 At any rate, this report should probably be closed.  All of the installer
 related issues have been addressed.

Can you try beta4 to see if it still works on your Alpha?

Also, maybe this bug report should be reassigned to the kernel?

 The emulated tulip network card is not autodetected by d-i. But I can choose
 is from the list of available network modules. But, after this, I get an error,
 that no network card is detected. The network itself works after selecting the

Bug#228661: installation-reports: beta2 bootfloppies on i386 + LVM -- LONG REPORT

2004-05-02 Thread Martin Michlmayr
* Giuseppe Sacco [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-01-20 02:59]:
 The file system were created and mounted, the base system download and installed, 
 but when
 installing the kernel package kernel-image-2.4.34-1-386 I got a fatal error.
 There were no error messages in tty4 and I followed the menu to select a new kernel,
 but the list only shown one (that) menu, so I selected it and press 'continue'.
 It worked.
 
 Then I tried to install lilo (since grub wouldn't work on LVM, I think), but when 
 selecting
 'install lilo' I was brought to the 'install kernel' menu. Probably it didn't really 
 work :-(

Can you please try beta4 to see which of these problems are still

Bug#228763: Debian installer installation-report

2004-05-02 Thread Martin Michlmayr
* Nagy Gabor [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-01-20 20:23]:
 For some reason the installer thought that I had a 80x30 display, and it
 tried to use that area. I was in 80x25, so the last 5 lines were not
 visible.

Can you please use the new beta4 and tell us if this still happens?

 After installation the PCMCIA subsystem did not work. During installation
 everything was loaded, but it seems that the installer forgot to include
 yenta_socket into the list of modules to be loaded before trying the other
 PCMCIA modules.

This is probably fixed.

Bug#229325: Experimental countrychooser branch (was Re: Bug#229325: One msg still not fixed in beta4)

 Quoting Wang WenRui ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
  Hi,
  
There are two phrases choose country in the countrychooser need to
be fixed(changed to Choose a country, territory or area). While only
one of them is fixed in beta4. The left one is the main menu entry:
  
  #. Type: string
  #. Description
  #. Main menu entry
  #: ../templates-in:39
  msgid Choose country
  msgstr Choisir le pays
  
Please fixed that. Thanks.
 
 No, we won't. Menu entries need to be short. The possible size for
 menu entries is 54 characters, in ALL LANGUAGES. While using Choose a
 country, territory or area would fit in English, this would add an
 unnecessary verbosity to the main menu, which needs to be concise and
 clear.

I made a branch to test some changes in countrychooser:
  svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/people/barbier/countrychooser
or
  svn://svn.debian.org/d-i/people/barbier/countrychooser

The main goal is to get rid of iso-codes for English country names,
and replace them by those found in ICU, which are much more neutral.
Translations have not been fuzzied (but I could not refrain myself
from editing fr.po).
Only countries/regions part of a locale in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
or which can be selected in choose-mirror are listed, which makes
debian/templates half-size.
The requested change in menu item has also been performed so that
anyone can test if this is too verbose.

I only checked that debian/templates is generated without trouble,
latest stuff about short country list may break this package, I
will test it tomorrow. When writing comments inrelated to this
bugreport, please send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have no idea why this would happen.  Can you please try the

 Detection of CD, IDE and net was ok. Installer however did not
 included any devices for the floppy, so floppy could not be mounted
 and command to save logs failed... without errors.

Is this still there in beta4?

 List of keyboard seems sorted strangely (belgian not in the first entries).

This should be fixed now.

 Naming of the IDE disk is surprisingly long... and way to navigate in the partitions 
 could

We use a totally new partitioning tool now.

 Nice installer, more intelligent that the previous one. Will it
 include also a video card/screen detector to ease:automate the X
 installation like Redhat?

This should be done... can you try a full beta4 install and let use
know if it works.  Thanks!

PCMCIA CD-ROM drive missing ide-cs.o on sarge floppies

2004-05-02 Thread Andrew Scott
Hi.

I downloaded some of the official sarge/testing CDs last week, and had a
bit of trouble with the installer recognising my CD-ROM drive.

I have a Toshiba Portege 3480 and its (TEAC) floppy is USB and its (TARGA)
CD-ROM is PCMCIA. I created the set of 4 floppies for install (boot, root,
CD drivers, net drivers) and started it up.

However, the CD-ROM could not be recognised. In the set of modules on the
two drivers disks, the required ide/legacy/ide-cs.o file was missing.

I had to load CD-ROM #1 on another Debian install, find
kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.25-1-386 and dpkg --unpack it. Copy this onto
a disk, then boot off the floppies again.

Dropping into a shell, I copied the file into
/lib/modules/2.4.25-1-386/kernel/drivers and all was good.

Can this file be included in the default set of boot floppies?

Bug#230346: base-config problem during testing installation

2004-05-02 Thread Martin Michlmayr
* Mike Surridge [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-01-30 12:15]:
 Everything OK until running base-config after the reboot.  Here base-config 
 seemed unable to track which steps had been completed.  The first problem 
 was in configuring APT sources - in my case http using www.mirror.ac.uk.  I 
 set these options, and the package lists were downloaded OK, but then the 
 config script repeatedly asked me to re-enter the APT sources, but without 
 downloading again.  After a few repeats I hit Cancel and returned to the 
 main menu, manually shifted to Select packages to install and everything 

This has been fixed.

 After selecting and installing packages using aptitude, the script then 
 asked me for MTA configuration options.  After entering these the script 
 returned me to the main menu, but still at the point Configure the MTA.  
 Manual selection of the subsequent option worked OK.

Strange... this might mean that the MTA configuration didn't work
properly.  Can you please try the new beta4 release and see if that
works?

2004-05-02 Thread Martin Michlmayr
* Itai Seggev [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-01-27 11:55]:
 The installer correctly identified the ethernet card as an e100, but failed to 
 load the kernel module. It wasn't clear to me if this is because the module 
 was is on the drivers floppy or if there was some sort of problem. Being that 
 the e100 is pretty obiquitous, I think this should be fixed in either case. 

Can you please try the new beta4?  This should be fixed.

 I tried doing the second stage install from within the first stage install, 
 and aptitude, dselect, and tasksel all performed badly. They loaded just 
 fine, but the display and response to cursor keys were completely wrong. 
 Rebooting and running base-config again fixed the problem. 

Interesting.  Can you try beta4 to see if this is still there?

 I thought it was odd the devfs was used during the install but wasn't put 
 into /etc/fstab. 

devfs is only used during the installation, not afterwards.

* Erik Dykema [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-01-28 08:34]:
   I can confirm this problem, with an HP Proliant DL360 G3.  They use 
   the same drive controller, cciss i think.
   As a short term workaround, you can use the auto-partition tool, 
   which will allow you to go a little farther.
   Another problem will occur when you get to the kernel installation 
 step.  mkinitrd will fail because of some weird devfs problem.  This 
 should probably be a seperate bug report for the initrd-tools package.

We now use a completely different partitioning tool.  Can you pleases
try the new beta4 release and see if that works?  It should.

Bug#229866: Package: installation-reports

2004-05-02 Thread Martin Michlmayr
* Gary M. Witscher [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-01-26 20:28]:
 I installed twice, and after the base install the system rebooted. The
 reboot failed both times. The last message in the boot sequence was
 similar to 'Detected two usb ports'. My machine only has one usb port.
 At any rate I simply turned off the machine and booted, this boot
 completed and the installation process continued.

Can you please try the new beta4 and let us know if you still see this
problem?

 I already have a running system and was disappointed by the lack of
 consideration for those of us who do have running systems when it came
 time to install the boot loader. I have no problem with lilo (although I
 don't use it), but I didn't want or need to install ANY boot loader and
 saw no option for avoiding the lilo installation (I even erased the
 input dialog completely and it still installed).

In beta4, GRUB is installed and existing operating systems will be
recognized.  You should also be able to just skip installing a boot
loader altogether... can you try beta4 and see if that works in a nice
way?

Bug#229733: installation-reports: installation asus m2400n with scsi drive attached

2004-05-02 Thread Martin Michlmayr
* Sebastian Henschel [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-01-26 09:49]:
 Comments/Problems:
 - detect hard drives:
   after loading ehci-hcd, the hardware detection had to be rerun. then i was
   prompted to choose from the existing partitions on the scsi-drive. it seemed
   like the ide-drive had vanished. only after cancelling the process, i got
   back to the menu and was able to choose partition hard drives, where both,
   ide- and scsi-drive, appeared. partition hard drives was skipped after the
   partitions had been found on the scsi-drive, while the ide-drive had no
   partitions at all (factory clean).

Can you please try the new beta4 and see if it acts better?

 - partition hard drives:
   i wonder about the use of finish and cancel (dunno exactly the english
   terms used here, since german was chosen as install language). cancel is
   somewhat the same like prev and finish is somewhat the same like next
   which already exist on the bottom of the page.

beta4 uses a totally new partitioning tool.

   + also there should be an example what should be typed into the field in
 case some user does not want the boot sector to be installed in the mbr.
 people unfamiliar with devfs do not know what to type in, then.

Hmm, GRUB is used by default now, although LILO is still available.  I
don't use Intel so I'm not sure if you can choose not to install in
the MBR.  Can you give beta4 a try and let us know?  Then we can
reassign this bug to grub/lilo-installer if needed.

Bug#230437: FWD: Install Report - Failed network install

2004-05-02 Thread Martin Michlmayr
 1.  The installer first went to cfdisk.  I created the partitions (1 
 ext3 (bootable), 1 swap), wrote the table, and selected finish.  Then it 
 went to the next screen where I am supposed to configure/mount the 
 partitions, and instead of the list of my partitions (should have been 
 2), the list has 6 or 8 entries, most consisting of just one letter, 
 like this:
 N
 N
 O
 O

We're using a totally new partitioning tool now and it is very likely
that this has been fixed.  Can you please try the new beta4 release
and see if this is the case?

 2.  On attempting to install the base system, it says that it is 
 retrieving package files, then finding package sizes, then retrieving 
 packages, validating, extracting packages.  Then the screen goes blue 
 for a bit with no menu, and comes back red saying: debootstrap exited 
 with an error, return value 1, check the log.  I hit continue and the 
 next screen says base system failed to install into /target/, check the 
 two debootstrap logs.  I check the two logs: debootstrap.err.log is 0 
 bytes, and debootstrap.log has one line:
 ln: mawk : no such file or directory

Strange, this shouldn't happen.  Again, can you try beta4?

Bug#234564: minor problems

2004-05-02 Thread Martin Michlmayr
* Frank Lichtenheld [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-02-24 16:45]:
 I use a pcmcia network card, but the PCMCIA bus was not correctly
 configured (insmod of ds.o failed, because there was no socket driver
 loaded), so the network didn't work. After the install I used modconf
 to load the correct module and it worked. Don't know what the problem
 exactly was.  I can give you a lspci output later if wanted.

I think this might be fixed in beta4.  Can you try it?  If not, can
you send the output of lcpci and lcpci -n.

 I encountered some minor problems during the install process:
  While creating the filesystems, I selected /dev/hda1 and ext2 and
 /boot. Then I selected /dev/hda2 (which was already a swap partition)
 and keep filesystem. After that /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 were both
 marked as to be mounted on /boot

Can you reproduce this?

 After the note about the reboot showed up a note about debconf
 priorities, but I couldn't read it since the reboot was already
 started. Somewhat confusing ;)

This shouldn't be displayed... Can you reproduce this with beta4?

 I'm not sure why I got dropped into the main menu, but I'm glad I did

Well, GRUB is installed by default now, but people can still go back

* Brian R Drell [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-01-23 01:17]:
 Comments/Problems: The install went very smoothly.  I think that the 
 base-config could be simplified a great deal.  I loved that the installer 
 easily found and installed the correct drivers for my hardware.  The 
 base-config did not ask me for sources of non-free software, so I had to 
 put them in sources.list manually, as well as security updates.

The APT line for security updates should be added automatically.
non-free is not added by default anymore - it's only asked at a lower
debconf priority.  This is because most people don't need non-free
software.

 Also, I had to hit cancel to get out of the apt configuration area.

Which apt configuration area?  Why do you have to press cancel?

 I'm going to try it on my regular machine.

Can you try the new beta4?

 This machine has an obscure problem with the CardBus hardware, which
 means the kernel needs pci=assign-busses appended in order to use it
 correctly. Therefore, although pcmcia started fine with the installer,

Do you know if this is fixed in newer kernels?

 Similarly, I have a PCMCIA ATAPI CD-ROM drive (Sony PCG-CD51A) which
 was unrecognized and so I couldn't load that way.

Which driver does it need?  Can you try if the new beta4 recognized
this drive?

 Finally, the tulip driver failed to drive my non-cardbus tulip
 ethernet card (IBM EtherJet).  I ended up managing to do the install

Same goes here.  Can you try beta4?

 The only installer glitch was that after selecting an apt source (in
 this case, http from distro.ibiblio.org), the installer kept returning
 me to the apt selection screen for no discernible reason. I eventually
 selected cancel, returned to the task list, and manually moved on to
 install the selected packages.

This has been fixed.

Re: PCMCIA CD-ROM drive missing ide-cs.o on sarge floppies

 I had to load CD-ROM #1 on another Debian install, find
 kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.25-1-386 and dpkg --unpack it. Copy this onto
 a disk, then boot off the floppies again.
 
 Dropping into a shell, I copied the file into
 /lib/modules/2.4.25-1-386/kernel/drivers and all was good.
 
 Can this file be included in the default set of boot floppies?

According to the d-i kernel image, this module should exist in a
separate package:

  * Add a pcmcia-storage-modules udeb, currently with only ide-cs in it, for
pcmcia cd-roms.

Was that package not included in those floppies?

The Installer does not check if the root partition could be mounted:
I had a XFS-Filesystem on the root-partition (/dev/hdb5) and tried to
install there. The kernel wasn't able to mount it (ok, this is not
supported, so it's no bug), but installed everything into the ramdisk.
After the ramdisk was full, the installation aborted.

 Did 2.4 work?  Can you try te 2.6.5 images from unstable?

Derivated work of installation manual

2004-05-02 Thread Dios del Tiempo
Hello!  =)

This week I was invited for a University to do an install fest of
Debian, an because you did an excellent work writing the Installing
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 for Intel x86 document, I prefered reduce and
adapt it for the workshop at the University.

However, because this is the first time I modify a GPL document, I have
some questions. Please, don't think I want to ignore the authors of the
document, I did everything thinking in what could was the best way to do
it, and if I did something wrong I will fix it.

The document I wrote is in spanish, and because that I will try to
traduce it to english in order you can understand the basic things.
Their title is Installation of Debian GNU/Linux Workshop, and this is
my first question. It must have different title because it's not exactly
a resume (it has a few opinions of my own), or it must have the same
title of the original work?

The resume that I did must be improved because it has an ugly format and
I did with few time available, and because that I put my name as the
only author of this resume, but the abstract says:

This presentation is basically a resume of the document Installing
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 for Intel x86 [1], adapted as a guide for a Debian
installation workshop using oficial CD-ROMs as the installation media.
As this is only a presentation, is recomended to read the original in
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/install.es.html;

And the bibliography says:

[1] Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 for Intel x86. Bruce Perens, Sven
Rudolph, Igor Grobman, James Treacy, Adam Di Carlo

Is this correct? Or I must put the previous names as the authors of
Installation of Debian GNU/Linux Workshop?

The link to the document is:

http://olimpo.homelinux.net/postnuke/downloads/instalacion.pdf

Thanks in advance and forgive me for my bad english.

Re: PCMCIA CD-ROM drive missing ide-cs.o on sarge floppies

2004-05-02 Thread Joey Hess
Andrew Scott wrote:
 I downloaded some of the official sarge/testing CDs last week, and had a
 bit of trouble with the installer recognising my CD-ROM drive.

Last week means you probably got beta 3 of the installer.

 I have a Toshiba Portege 3480 and its (TEAC) floppy is USB and its (TARGA)
 CD-ROM is PCMCIA. I created the set of 4 floppies for install (boot, root,
 CD drivers, net drivers) and started it up.
 
 However, the CD-ROM could not be recognised. In the set of modules on the
 two drivers disks, the required ide/legacy/ide-cs.o file was missing.

This was added to the CD in beta4.

 I had to load CD-ROM #1 on another Debian install, find
 kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.25-1-386 and dpkg --unpack it. Copy this onto
 a disk, then boot off the floppies again.
 
 Dropping into a shell, I copied the file into
 /lib/modules/2.4.25-1-386/kernel/drivers and all was good.
 
 Can this file be included in the default set of boot floppies?

Hang on, you say you're using floppies? Can't you boot off the CD drive?

The pcmcia storage modules are too large to fit on the CD driver floppy.

Bug#242064: Kernel doesn't like my IDE chipset

2004-05-02 Thread Martin Michlmayr
* Roland Mas [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-04-04 17:32]:
 When loading the ide-detect module, the kernel logs show that the hard
 disk and CD-ROM drive are correctly detected, but then I get lots of
 hda: lost interrupt (same with hdc).  From then on, no hard disk or
 CD-ROM access manages to get through.  I tried not loading the sis5513
 module, using the generic module instead, I also tried without even
 the generic module, no better.  LKML tells me I should try and disable
 DMA at boot time, but I haven't been able to guess how to do that (I
 get the same results when using linux nodma ide=nodma hda=nodma
 idebus=nodma and disabling DMA from the BIOS's setup).

Do Herbert's 2.4.26 or 2.6.5 packages work better?  If not, I'll
reassign this bug to the kernel package and let Herbert sort it out
with you.

2004-05-02 Thread Martin Michlmayr
* Margarita Manterola [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2004-02-25 14:21]:
   The prompting for the following floppy is not friendly.  A polite
 and verbose message can be added quite easily.

I think this has been done.

 * Config network:
   The host's name was not configured (known problem)

Fixed.

 * Load installer modules:
   There's no option to manually edit the repository sites (like the
 edit sources.list option you get in apt-setup).

Which repository sites do you mean?

   ** DIDN'T WORK **
   After downloading all the packages and extracting and setting up
 most of them, there was a misterious error, reported to have been at
 /var/log/debootstrap.log, but was not there, there were other errors
 (like sleep missing from /bin) but not the error that had made the
 installation stop.

Can you please try the new beta4 from
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ to see if these other
problems are still there?

Robert Hughes wrote:
 The grub installer detected my other Linux installations successfully,

It seems that apparently the last minute fix to the priority of the
ntfs-modules udeb was not done; probably my request to the ftp-master
was lost amoung all the other changes.

I've checked, and the udeb is listed at extra priority on the CD.

Unfortunatly, this means that beta4 will not detect most windows systems
as it was advertised to. Damn!

Hmm. Actually, this is kind of thorny. ssh wants to use getpwuid(),
which looks in /etc/nsswitch.conf (missing) and defaults to using
libnss_compat for the name service lookup, which we don't have; nor do
we have libnss_files. If getpwuid() fails, you get You don't exist, go
away!.

The best idea I have is to ask the glibc folks for a libnss-files-udeb,
make openssh-{client,server}-udeb depend on it, and put an
/etc/nsswitch.conf in rootskel that gets rid of all the default
references to libnss_compat (NIS in d-i, I think not ...). Any comments?

   I'd like to see the contents of the directory corresponding to that

  The 'method' file says 'newworld'.  The 'filesystem' file says 'ext3', 
  which is what seems to be causing the problem.  ext3 is the filesystem
  set before I change the usage method to newworld.  Maybe
  choose_method/newworld/do_option should set 'filesystem' to 'hfs'?
  
  Perhaps setting 'method' to 'newworld' should also set 'filesystem'
  to 'hfs'?  It looks like this would go in
  partman-newworld/choose_method/newworld/do_option.
 
 Hm, I thought that the presence of /lib/partman/parted_names/newworld
 containing 'hfs' would take care of this ...

Aha, I see what's happening. Anton, your change to make partman-newworld
remove the new use_filesystem file and to drop its valid_filesystems
directory broke its ability to set the filesystem correctly.

The flow in partman-target/update.d/filesystems is something like this:

  use_filesystems is missing, so property=newworld;

  there's no valid_filesystems/*newworld, so filesystems is empty,
  therefore available is empty;

  acting_filesystem is removed.

What were you proposing to do with property=$method, if not pass it to
a valid_filesystems script? If it's supposed to be passed to
valid_filesystems, I'd like to reinstate
partman-newworld/valid_filesystems, and maybe partman-palo should be
checked as well. If not, I'm confused.

  2. again when creating lvm disk pvcreate was not executed.
  3. when installing on the base system the devices for the lvm was not created 
 in the chroot'ed environment, so the kernel was unable to install.
 
 Hmm, I'll investigate this tomorrow.  Did you run pvcreate by hand, or
 how did you get lvm to work if pvcreate was not run?
 
Yes to get past this, I had to run pvcreate by hand, and then I was able
to proceed with the creation of the filesystems and loading of the core
system.

Thanks for this.

If you need any more just yell.

Re: PCMCIA CD-ROM drive missing ide-cs.o on sarge floppies

2004-05-02 Thread Andrew Scott
Joey,

 However, the CD-ROM could not be recognised. In the set of modules on
 the two drivers disks, the required ide/legacy/ide-cs.o file was missing.

 This was added to the CD in beta4.

Are you saying it was added to the CD driver floppy? That would be right.
Missed it by a week. :)

 Can this file be included in the default set of boot floppies?

 Hang on, you say you're using floppies? Can't you boot off the CD drive?

 The pcmcia storage modules are too large to fit on the CD driver floppy.

Yes - I have to boot from floppies. The Portege 3480 does support booting
from CD, but I think last time I tried to boot Debian from CD it had
problems with the image format. (I understand it can only boot into a 1.4MB
image?) To be honest, I didn't try again with the sarge/testing CD.

But the pcmcia modules are on the Net driver floppy. So I load them from
there. The single missing module was ide-cs.o

  Just tried. Still same problem, though it goes to a black screen instead

  I'll try fiddling and removing hardware to see what helps.
 
 What kind of kernel are you normally using?  And this works?

So apparently it's my Adaptec AHA-2940UW with bios 2.20 that's preventing
it from booting.

After removing it, it got past and prompted for the root disk.

I googled and saw the prior kernel image issues, but
I tried various kernel flags to no avail so far.

No, it was added to the CD itself.

 problems with the image format. (I understand it can only boot into a 1.4MB

I suggest you try again with the beta4 CD. It should support your drive,
assuming the drive can boot it.

 But the pcmcia modules are on the Net driver floppy. So I load them from
 there. The single missing module was ide-cs.o

Ok, I've added it to the cd-drivers floppy, will be in the next daily
build.

Joey Hess wrote:
 It seems that apparently the last minute fix to the priority of the
 ntfs-modules udeb was not done; probably my request to the ftp-master
 was lost amoung all the other changes.
 
 I've checked, and the udeb is listed at extra priority on the CD.

And has the correct priority in the archive. It seems debian-cd ignores
overrides for udebs.

Re: d-i beta4 release process retrospective (long)

2004-05-02 Thread Joey Hess
I wrote:
 Don't try for such a perfect and well-tested release.

 Require successful installs on all arches and major platforms before
 freezing.

The two options above are unappealing, and hard, so I'm leaning toward
this one:

 Swtich to testing-style udeb propigation.
 
   It would really be better if instead of copying a release to
   testing in one lump, we copied individual udebs to testing when
   they're ready. I have outlined some of the technical problems
   with using purely automated system as used for deb testing
   propigation in an earlier mail, but maybe we could do a manual
   propigation. It would probably involve a lot of work, and would
   probably slow down what did get in, but that may not be
   inappropriate at this point.

udebs would be manually propigated to testing individually or in small
groups on the basis of installation reports and testing.

This would have the disadvantage of making it very hard to do things
that touch most of the installer, such as adding a new language. The
same problems that arise when getting translations into Debian proper
would apply. It would also mean that the beta4 netboot and floppy
installs could be broken as udebs in testing were updated.

We would need to redirect some users to the sarge_d-i images, so that
the stuff in testing got tested as a whole, while still referring some
users to sid_d-i, so new bits could get tested before reaching sarge.
Maybe by directing users who file installation reports with a problem in
sarge_d-i to try again when it's fixed in sid_d-i.

[i10n] Installation Manual Updates

2004-05-02 Thread David Nusinow
Hi everyone,
   I'm planning to do some massive hacking on the installation manual,
and I'm wondering how the translators would like me to proceed. I plan
to do some pretty serious editing, deleting portions completely and
adding significant text to other sections, as well as moving lots of
what's already there around to reorganize it. Seeing as these changes
will be fairly large, how can I help the translators out while I'm doing
this work? I can try to focus on one chapter at a time (I have a plan
already set up for the first four chapters) and then notify you when
that chapter is ready for translation. If there is a better solution,
please let me know, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Yes, David,
the Italian translation is about to be started, so it would be perfect
if you send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when
you complete a chapter. Do you already have a list of chapters that
you will not change at all?

Bye,
