Bug#306476: quick question about Bug#306476
On Monday 27 February 2006 04:21, Randall Wayth wrote: To get to this point, I had also tried the latest etch cd installer which uses a 2.6 kernel. This installer failed at other points (I had to modprobe esp and it couldn't mount the disk after partitioning, and something else too...) but what was useful was that it told me that the module for the scsi controller was called esp. Since this is an sbus system, not pci, there doesn't appear to be an equivalent of lspci which would have solved my problem immediately. (If there is such a thing, please let me know.) There is actually. Recent sparc images include 'prtconf' and use that to detect sbus devices. So all's well that ends well. If you think that the failure to load the correct scsi driver modules during the detect cdrom phase is a bug, then I'll be happy to submit one. No need to open a new bug, just keep following up to this one. Could you please try an install using the latest daily image [1], which is the candidate for the installer's Beta2 release. See if the CDROM is detected and the esp driver is loaded automatically. If it does not work, could you send us the output of prtconf? You can also try to add a line 'set -x' in /bin/discover-sbus before hardware detection [2]. That should give you debugging output in /var/log/syslog that shows what's happening. You can stop before partitioning, so no need to overwrite your exiting installation for this test. TIA, Frans Pop [1]http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/etch_d-i/arch-latest/sparc/iso-cd/ [2] Boot the installer with 'install debconf/priority=medium' and, before the step to detect cdrom hardware, switch to VT2 and edit that script using nano. pgpx0Aaz94tiT.pgp Description: PGP signature

I think it would be nice to have correct font stripping in it straight away: i.e. only the range needed for Georgian. AFAICT, that would be the range from 10A0-10FF [1]. For now, I'd propose to include the full range. It would be good though to check at some point what actual glyphs are used in Georgian translations (outside of Latin ranges). It may be good to allow some extra glyphs in from the specific font for visual consistency. [1] http://rudhar.com/lingtics/uniclnks.htm pgppG9K75wJge.pgp Description: PGP signature

Please include the _full_ URL of the image you downloaded. If you used the official Sarge version of the installer, the reason is probably that the Sarge kernel does not support your NIC. In that case, please try the Etch version of the installer [1] which has a lot newer kernel.

library udebs: dependency resolution status
Over the last week I've been filing wishlist bug reports (with patches) against a number of packages providing library udebs to start resolving the dependency resolution problems that currently prevent the graphical installer from being integrated into the main d-i infrastructure. Due to excellent responses from some maintainers, some have even already been fixed. Note that bugs for some libs can only be filed after new versions of the libraries they depend on are in the archive. The packages providing libs that are part of d-i itself have already been patched by Joey and so only need an upload when we're ready for them. Here's an overview: - #355293: zlib1g (uploaded) - #355937: expat - #355939: freetype - #355963: slang2 (uploaded) - #355965: sysfsutils (uploaded) - #356252: libpng - #356260: fribidi - #356293: e2fsprogs - partman (patch prepared but waits for e2fsprogs) To do: - wireless-tools (libiw28-udeb) - devmapper (libdevmapper1.02-udeb) - openssh (libcrypto0.9.8-udeb) - atk1.0 (libatk1.0-udeb) - libusb (libusb-0.1-udeb) - progsreiserfs (libreiserfs0.3-udeb) And of course the higher libs used by g-i: - libdirectfb-0.9-22-udeb - fontconfig-udeb - libcairo2-directfb-udeb - libgtk+2.0-directfb0-udeb These last will probably be the the most difficult and they all depend on other being fixed first. So, getting there, but a way to go yet. Cheers, FJP pgpghaNEOkuPj.pgp Description: PGP signature

I think it would be nice to have correct font stripping in it straight away: i.e. only the range needed for Georgian. AFAICT, that would be the range from 10A0-10FF [1]. For now, I'd propose to include the full range. Already done (see r35369) It would be good though to check at some point what actual glyphs are used in Georgian translations (outside of Latin ranges). It may be good to allow some extra glyphs in from the specific font for visual consistency.

Debian HW RAID almost working. Fsck failure on reboot.
Hi All, I seem to be experiencing a similar problem - after a clean install of sarge with a 2.6 kernel. When I reboot the system I get a fsck.ext3 error trying to check /dev/sda1 fsck.ext3: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/sda1 Possible non-existent or swap device? fsck failed. Please repair manually. CONTROL-D will exit from this shell. If I hit control-D and continue I can then mount -a and all is well (the partition mounts normally) If I change /etc/fstab so the pass param is changed from a 2 to a 0 for sda1, again the system boots and mounts the drive normally (albeit without a fsck). Finally doing a fsck /dev/sda1 on the unmounted drive returns instantly with a clean, so I think the drive is fine. Could this be a timing/order issue as the SCSI device seems to be detected quite a bit later in the logs. Thanks again for a wonderful job!
