Bug#236533: dhcp-client: support for Dynamic DNS in netcfg
On Fri, 2004-05-28 at 16:18 -0700, Joshua Kwan wrote: Ah, okay. Yes, my WC has some changes that copy the dhclient.conf file into /target for the prebaseconfig script. Actually the reason why that hasn't been committed is because I removed all the silly di_system_prebaseconfig_append calls and created a static prebaseconfig script that just goes: for file in /etc/network/interfaces /etc/hostname /etc/dhclient.conf; do rm -f /target/$file cp $file /target/$file done I don't see the sense of generating it on the fly. Can anyone tell me why we've been doing it that way for ages now? It seems to me that the most flexible thing to do would be to generate confiles like these from templates filled in with the debconf variable values. What if a local admin could supply custom templates for some of that stuff? It could potentially be very powerful...

Bug#236745: ISA SCSI Detection ?
IIRC, Knoppix and sysresccd (www.sysresccd.org) both have auto-detect of scsi boards. I think all they do is try to probe the modules in some magical order, and if any load with no errors, then you have scsi support. Perhaps a question could be asked or a boot command line option could be offered that enables this? -- Karl Hegbloom [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: How much mem is low, exactly?
Thiemo Seufer a écrit : W. Borgert wrote: What is the target memory for the lowmem installation? 24 MB seems not to work. I had the hope, that ca. 16 MB would be the limit. 25-45 MB, depending on architecture. Some ideas for improvements: 1. Disable certain downloads/features. IMHO it is OK to have a lowmem install with less features, e.g. LVM, RAID, other FSs than EXT3/EXT2, etc. Who would use a 16 MB machine with SW-RAID? :-) 2. Let the user select downloads/features. If the user does have SCSI, SATA, etc. why download the stuff and eat RAM disk space? 3. Let the user earlier create the partition table and the swap space (and acitvate the latter) and download other udebs later. 4. Use text instead of ncurses for debconf (lowmem is English-only anyway). What do the d-i people think? You may want to read packages/lowmem/README in the SVN repository. The main reason the lowmem mode is so ineffective is that nobody did so far the work to make it better. Thiemo i have changed anna to enable the user to select what he wants. and anna only download the selected packages (and dependencies too) the current status is: - i succeed to install in 24Mb (i select plip+partman-auto) - i do not test with lesser memory (because i use plip for testing and i currently can not use it, but this will be resolved in few hours) - of course, the memory depends on which packages you have selected - there is not enough time to include this patch for release rc1, so according with joey, i will create specific images for very lowmem PCs i will send you the patch on the list , if someone wants to test it ;) sylvain smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Loading order for 3w-xxxx and aic7xxx in Woody maintenance kernels {Scanned}
Hi, Apologies if this is to the wrong list, but I have tried searching the archives and found nothing helpful, I also posted on debian-users but got no reply. Background == We have a Server that is fitted with one: Escalade 3Ware 7500-8 RAID card, (set as RAID 5 with some Maxtor IDE disks) and one: Adaptec 29160 SCSI card (hosting two off SCSI disks) (I know its a bit of a strange configuration but we inherited the two SCSI disks and it seemed a shame not to use them). When the upgrade to kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686 (2.4.18-13.1) was carried out a couple of weeks ago, the order in which the modules 3w- and aic-7xxx loaded had been reversed compared with the order in the previous kernel image. In the 2.4.18-13.1 image, the 3w- driver comes up first and the RAID array is sda. Then the aic-7xxx driver comes up and the true SCSI disks are then sdb and sdc. This is great as this is the order I want. With the previous kernel I tried entering the following at the LILO prompt: Linux append=scsihosts=3w-:aic7xxx but I couldn't get it to work. The aic7xxx driver was always loaded first so the two true scsi disks were sda sdb, the 3w- driver was next and the RAID array was named sdc. Problem === Having looked through the documentation and searched the archives I can find nothing to say that with kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686 (2.4.18-13.1) users should note the order of loading for modules 3w- and aic-7xxx has changed around compared with that of the previous kernel image. Q: Is this change a documented anywhere? Q: Is this change likely to become a permanent feature? :-)) Aside = (I had considered trying something with disk labels and devfs to work around the order in which drivers were loaded but as far as I can ascertain devfs is being deprecated in 2.6 kernels so this didn't seem like a good way forwards).

I would like to test it. - there is not enough time to include this patch for release rc1, so according with joey, i will create specific images for very lowmem PCs It would be nice to have the patch in (if it works) - that would lead to better testing than lowmem-specific images, I believe.

Bug#252237: Netinst floppy image contains no ide-drivers

Imho that's a little bit odd. Propsals: -Lable the cd-inst disc als ide-driver-disc and don't use cd-install by default or - Put the IDE-Driver on the netinst disc as well. Why do you need IDE modules to get on the network and download the rest of the installer? The floppy installation method works in only one of two ways: 1. Boot the floppy. Load the CD drivers floppy. Load the rest of d-i from CD. Complete the install. 2. Boot the floppy. Load the net drivers floppy. Load the rest of d-i (including all other kernel modules) from the network. Complete the install. Well, the pont is, in contrast to it's predecessors, this haven't worked. The disc was simply not found, when d-i wanted to create a partition table - odd thing. Keep smiling yanosz
Bug#252239: Current floppy image contains nearly no FS-drivers
Greetings,... Am Mittwoch, 2. Juni 2004 13:52 schrieben Sie: Quoting Jan Henrik Helmuth Lühr ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): package: debian-installer version: beta4 Greetings, the current debian-installer seems nearly no FS availble for formating new created partitions. When I create I new partition, Fat16, Fat32 oder ext2 are the only options I have - no ext3, noch reiserfs, etc. although I installed it with the default 2.4.25 kernel an successfully downloaded all installer components tody. Older versions of debian-installer didn't have this problem (or missing feature). Are you testing beta4 ? Please try http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/tc1/sarge-i386 -netinst.iso Guess so. I donwloaded the latest floppy image from ftp.debian.org.

Short term, perhaps I should do a conditional build where a second set of images is built if sudo is available? It need only apply to the three 2.2-kernel images.

Bug#251526: If XFS selected for / then fallback to Lilo
Hola Karl Hegbloom! If the user selects XFS for the root file system, the installer warns that it will not work with grub. Which is actually true, I've tested it twice and it didn't work :). Then what is xfs_stage1_5 for, in /boot/grub? I think I used to have an XFS / with Grub at some point. Well, I believe it IS possible to make grub work with xfs in the root file system, but not using the normal debian-installer procedure.

Dear d-i Team, I just wanted to tell you a sure sign, that your installer surely rocks, since a semi-newbie with just basic knowledge was able to install a nice Debian System. In a foreign Language. Which he couldn't not read. Not a single character. Actually: He didn't knew, which language it was, he choosed! As requested by tbm in #246357 I took the newbie (which learned a little bit during the last install and the last weeks) and let him install with the tc1 Image. He asked, if he should do it all the same, he did last time, and since we where just at the choose language dialog, I answered: No, if you whish you can choose a different language. And he did. I'm not sure which of those chinese languages he picked, but finally he had an Debian system installed :-) Yours sincerely, Alexander signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Is this for IUCV or for CTC/etc? IUCV doesn't have a chandev entry because its not really a device (there's no channel associated with it). As I recall, there are two pieces to the current IUCV driver: there's iucv.o (.ko in 2.6, I guess), which provides the actual IUCV function, and netiucv.o(.ko), which provides the IP-over-IUCV implementation. Are both of them getting loaded? The iucv/netiucv split might be what's tripping us up. The questions IUCV needs answered are almost exactly those of CTC. You don't need a device address, but in its place you do need a peer name: the VM userid of whatever's at the other end of the link. TCPIP is the right default for that. Other than that, you need your IP address and the address of the other end of the IUCV link, and that should do it. You need IUCV ALLOW statements, but there's no way to test that from Linux, and since I doubt we have cpint in the base image, there's really not even a way to test that the other end is logged on and configured. I think really all you can do is bring up your interface and then try pinging the other end to see whether traffic's getting through. My basic question is, where do we go to get the most recent state-of-stuff to begin working from? Configuring the VM side of the TCPIP links is no problem at all--we've got a secondary TCPIP user set up for just such an eventuality, which we can bounce with impunity without affecting any of our production work, so we can certainly test different network configurations quite easily.

- cdebconf - text frontend don't respect dumb terminal definition, should disable translations. This sounds like a general problem. TTY on serial console would have the same problem. Maybe this is the bug that the install hangs on serial console installs when you choose a language other than english? Do you have any idea how to fix it. Scanning through the boot log you sent, my first guess would be that some of the visual escape sequence crap is causing a flow control problem that is hanging the device. Not everything is a ANSI terminal, still, and an installer that assumes ANY terminal processing will lose on this big-time. How does the display process get the terminal type? Hmm. At this point things are probably still pretty braindead in terms of termcap/terminfo, but that may be a general fix for the problem (a stub /etc/termcap and/or /etc/terminfo with ANSI and TTY only, and examine the apps for direct escape sequence generation code, to be eliminated on sight...) - as discussed, default items should be prefixed with an asterisk or similar. Ditto. I personally use colour on serial installs so I don't see this. Eeeuw. Ick. Installers shouldn't assume ANYTHING but plain-text until they have enough brains to ask if the device can handle it. Question: how much screen-handling intelligence does this thing really need? IF it can get by with a clear-screen capability (and write lines to simulate cursor positioning), you may want to generate the boot image with the 3270 console driver active instead of the 3215 console. That would give you a limited terminal definition that is capable of a clear-screen sequence and some limited highlighting (stick to 3278 hi-lite/normal text, and it'll work on any 3270). A test would be to see if the installer works properly on something really ancient and brain-damaged like a ADM-1 terminal. If so, it could work on the 3270 console driver. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#248627: Debian Installer version 4 - Installation report
Okay, all this looks correct. The strange thing (which I first missed) is that it didn't work the first time you booted but it did the second time. What did you do after the first boot? Did you install any tasks/packages from CD? Has the network card worked on all following boots? I did not install any additional packages/tasks after the first boot. The network card worked fine on all following boots. To make sure that this is not a one time issue I've performed again a fresh installation with the newest version of the debian installer (dated June 1st). As this time the installation was done in a non-dhcp environment, a fixed IP was chosen. This time the network card had a working IP connection from the first login on. I'll do another installation in a few days in a dhcp environment to check if the issue can be reproduced and report back about the result.

Bug#252164: Package: installation-reports
On 1 Jun 2004 at 19:50, Margarita Manterola wrote: Hola daveg! Partitioning goes fine, configuring the lvm goes fine, but on leaving the lvm and starting up the partitioner, it hangs at 56%. Only once out of many attempts did it complete. In that case, it continued to install base system without offering to create filesystems in the logical volumes. During the one run that starting the partitioner completed, I mkdir the mount points, mkfs.ext3 the filesystems, and started mounting. I must have shot self in foot, because I lost access to all commands. Shouldn't filesystem creation be part of logical volume creation, or at least a subsequent process? Well, this might seem stupid, but did you select the filesystem in the partition manager menu? That's where you have to select it. These are the steps for LVM in the new debian installer: 1 - Create the LVM partitions in the main menu. 2 - Go to the LVM Menu. 3 - Create the volume groups. 4 - Create the logical volumes. 5 - Go back to the main menu. 6 - Assign the filesystems and the mount-points. 7 - Proceed. If you did all this (in particular, step 6), then all my explanation is unnecesary, but your message gave me the impression that you skipped this step. Good catch, Margarita. Thanks! It did not click in my mind that I need to go back into the partitioner to create the filesystems and mount-points. I'll take another look. I just today discovered the IBM donation of EVMS to the LINUX world. I'll bet I also need to select evms-udeb? I have not been because I didn't know what EVMS is. If not required, what does evms-udeb add? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

OK, I went back through the steps. Indeed I did all of 1 through 5 in the correct order. I can't for the life of me figure out 6. In the main menu of Partition Disks, I can see all partitions including the two lvm partitions, but I can't see the vg they are both assigned to and I can't see the lv I created in the vg. How do I select each lv so I can assign it's filesystem and mount point? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
