I think I could use some clarification here. If there are metapackages for both etch and etch 1/2 kernels available (e.g. linux-image-2.6-686 and linux-image-2.6-23-686), would this prevent the installer from selecting the correct metapackage? Default metapackages are certainly something I'd like to see kept, to avoid the no-auto-upgrade problem we had w/ kernel abi changes in sarge. > For some architectures it should be possible to modify the default boot > parameters on the images so that the 'suite=etch' option is included by > default (with 'suite?=etch' the user would even still be prompted at lower > priorities).

Bug#283521: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [Debian Wiki] Update of "DebianInstaller/ReleaseProcess" by FransPop]
tags 283521 patch thanks Hi, IMHO "* update pointer to manual in syslinux text (http://bugs.debian.org/283521 )" should be added to http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/LennyGoals And if #283521 is fixed by pointing to http://www.debian.org/doc/ - the first link on that points to http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual - Three years ago I thought it was better to point to the installation manual. Today I think it's better to point to _the_ page about documentation for Debian. For which http://www.debian.org/doc/ IMO qualifies. (That page could certainly be improved, but that's another issue. And IMO it's better to point to that page than to the generic www.debian.org.) And yet another issue is that according to a quick grep only two out of ten architectures display information about www.debian.org at all... If you agree with this generic approach to link to the documentation I'm volunteering to go through all architectures boot messages and suge a paragrah.

New build missing dhcp-client
I just downloaded and attempted to install the Debian GNU/Linux testing "Lenny" - Official Snapshot i386 NETINST Binary-1 20071213-11:53 i386 build When I get to the Network stage, it finds the hardware, but stops with a red pop up that says: No DHHCP client was found. The package requires pump or dchp-client. The DHCP configuration process will be aborted. I manually set the network parameters to continue the install. Charles

AFAICT you are correct: the config script in dh-consoledata needs to be
changed and then console-data must be uploaded with an updated versioned
build dependency on the new version of that package.

The problem here is that having the keymap policy question asked is
completely correct in all other use cases, so the only solution I can come
up with is to somehow tell console-data that it is being installed inside
D-I and to skip the question only in that specific case.
The attached patch does this by checking for the existence of a file in
/tmp: /tmp/debian-installer/keymap-policy-default. The patch has been tested
and does what we want.
Even though it probably is not strictly necessary, I explicitly set
keymap/policy that seems most consistent with the rest of the script,
As we install locales from the post-base-installer 05localechooser hook
script, it seems logical to have that file touched (in /target of course)
in that hook script.
If we want to allow for the fact that locales could also be installed for
other reasons, we should delay deleting the file/dir to finish-install. One
option there would be 05localechooser, but we could also make the directory
more general (with an eye on future other uses) and remove it in 95umount
instead.
(Yes, I know that /tmp will be cleaned on reboot too, but IMO cleaning up
after yourself is a good general principle.)
If anyone can think of a cleaner solution (or a better name/location for the
temp file), please shout.
If this patch is acceptable, I request that both console-common and
console-data be uploaded with urgency=medium (unless there are other, more
risky changes too).
After that I'll make the necessary changes in D-I.
Cheers,
FJP

I strongly doubt that this would be related to the frontend. Charles: if you can still reproduce this, could you run partman after adding a 'set -x' at the top of /lib/partman/definitions.sh?

Bug#440446: Is this bug related to the GTK frontend?
Hi I didn't understand whether this bug is related to the GTK frontend or not: in the former case, it should be reassigned to cdebconf-gtk-udeb. sincerely Attilio Fiandrotti -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#456154: debian-installer: amd64 re-boot fails due to missing /etc/crypttab
Package: debian-installer Severity: important Hi there, while trying to install debian I encountered the problem that the installed system was unbootable. The setup I tried is a md setup with everything crypted except /boot This was reproducible with debian-40r1-amd64-CD-1.iso and unofficial netinst cd from kmuto (because of ICH9 chipset and e1000 support, my disks/cdrom are detected properly with the official cd's) Here is the way I tried to install 1) Partition the disks /dev/sda1 => 256MB /dev/sda2 => rest of disk /dev/sdb1 => 256MB /dev/sdb2 => rest of disk 2) Set partition type to raid autodetect for all of the above 3) Setup raids /dev/md0=> [ sda1, sdb1 ] /dev/md1=> [ sda2, sdb2 ] 4) Choose /dev/md0 as ext3 which should be mounted on /boot 5) Choose /dev/md1 as target for a crypted disk (refered as /dev/mapper/crypt for the rest of this text) 6) Setup LVM with /dev/mapper/crypt as physical disk vg00 => /dev/mapper/crypt lvol-root 2GB / lvol-swap 8GB swap lvol-usr8GB /usr lvol-var8G /var lvol-home 16GB/home 7) Happily install debian on it. Works all fine until I try to boot into the just installed system. There it hangs with (something similiar to) vg00-lvol-root not found vg00-lvol-root not found Waiting for root filesystem until it drops into a busybox shell. Disks are detected before, since I got the message from md that md1 is not synchronized. Doing the same like above just change / to be on md0 instead of the crypted volume the system boots at least into single user mode. Examining the install I found out that there was only an empty /etc/crypttab, adding the entry for /dev/md1 manually I could mount all the devices and then the system boots normally. >From above I conjecture that also the failed try with / on the crypted device was due to a missing crypttab.

The comment on the change is:
Remove pointless item as long as requested feature is not implemented
--
* send periodic progress updates to relevant lists (do not just spam
everybody by default); once a week is good, more often near the end
* wash, rinse, repeat
* when things are starting to look good (more testing!), announce timeline
- * update pointer to manual in syslinux text ( http://bugs.debian.org/283521 )
* make sure FTP-masters (elmo has done most BYHAND processing) know a D-I
release is coming up (''private'' IRC is best; mails often get no response)
= BYHAND processing

Let's make it clear that the current console-* "maintainer" is really in trouble to deal with that issue, which indeed lies in console-common and its bunch of Perl maintainer scripts. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
