Have you tried to use an i386 image instead of an amd64 one?

Done, new C init is about 3kb, and once klibc sh, mkdir, and mknod are
removed and a kernel with modular ext2 used, and all the syslinux help
screens dropped, it fits. Barely. Less than 1k free.. :-/

A few things can still be done to reduce size. Embedding mount, umount,
cat, gunzip, and cpio code in the init binary and statically linking it
to klibc would probably save 30 kb or so. (This would also allow upxing
init.)

Yes, the patch does the job! CD-ROM drive is automatically detected.

Bug#474023: Installation report (ath5k wireless driver / Thinkpad R51e)

[Chris Lamb]

Package: installation-reports

 NB. This installation was intended to test the ath5k wireless driver with
 d-i, and does not use a "standard" weekly or daily image.

Boot method: netboot
Image version: http://people.debian.org/~fjp/tmp/d-i/netboot-ath5k.tar.gz
Date: Wed Apr  2 20:05:01 BST 2008

Machine: IBM ThinkPad R51e

 [...]
04:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212/AR5213
 Multiprocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01)

Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

This installation was intended to test the ath5k wireless driver with d-i:

 * netcfg correctly identified the wireless device and did not show any
   spurious control devices

 * "Automatic" configuration of the device failed

 * Entering an ESSID manually resulted in a DHCP failure

 * I continued the installation using my wired ethernet adaptor to a point
   where I could install wireless-tools-udeb

 * "iwconfig wlan0" and "iwgetid" showed that the wlan0 had been configured
   to point at the correct access point by BSSID address

 * Running:
- iwconfig wlan0 ap off
- ip link set wlan0 up
- iwconfig wlan0 essid my_essid

   .. resulted in dhclient working, although there was an interesting
   conflict with the existing wired configuration:

 [...]
 DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
 DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
 DHCPOFFER from 192.168.0.1
 DHCPREQUEST on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
 DHCPPACK from 192.168.0.1
 ip: RTNETLINK answers: File exists
 dhclient.c(2129): null pointer
 [...]

   This process and message looped indefinately until ^C.

 * Retracing my steps in the netcfg component did not result in a working
   wireless configuration

Comments/Problems:

So, it appears that netcfg does not call 'ap off' (or ipiw equivalent) and
does not set the link up. 

 < fjp> Hmm. iwconfig wlan0 ap off is basically only to reset the AP for
 new scan/association
 < fjp> Probably makes sense to do that by default in netcfg for any retry.

I would agree, but would add that running that (or its iwlib equivalent)
before the first attempt might assist drivers that initialise in a strange
way - remember that in my test above, the wireless device was actually
configured with the correct BSSID, but required an reset via "ap off"
before it worked.

However, this and other quirks may be specific to ath5k, a somewhat
experimental driver.

[RFC] Extending wireless-tools-udeb

[Frans Pop]

Currently wireless-tools-udeb exists and it is still included in some images 
[1], but AFAICT the binaries in the udeb are not used anywhere so there 
should be no need to include it by default.

IMO it still makes sense to keep the udeb for debugging purposes, and 
possibly also for cases that netcfg currently does not support [2]. But for 
that purpose it is probably useful to add iwevent and iwlist to the udeb 
(not sure about iwpriv and iwspy). It should then also be listed as an 
optional component in anna.

So steps would be:
- remove wireless-tools-udeb from all pkg-lists
- request addition of iwevent and iwlist (and iwpriv and iwspy?)
- request addition of menu-item-number 9

Comments?

Cheers,
FJP

With today's snapshot, it's still too large. 22kb still needs to be
trimmed from somewhere.

Dropping klibc sh and rewriting init as a custom klibc executable would
probably save about 25kb..

Could you try to manually add the patch below to /bin/hw-detect, right at 
the beginning of the installation (while the language selection dialog is 
displayed)?

It's a rough patch and needs a bit more refinement, but it should hopefully 
do what we want for this type of system. I've added debugging commands so 
the result should show up in the syslog. Please send that both if it works 
and if it doesn't.

Yes, that needs to be clarified a bit. I'll see if I can come up with

OK. That at least identifies the problem, though reverting that change would 
not solve all problems as initramfs-tools would still need to be made to 
load the driver.

What we basically need to do here is find a way to identify this type of 
system so we can automate the loading of ide-generic.

BTW, doesn't the installer offer to load additional drivers when it fails to 
detect the CD? If it does, what are the dialogs that are displayed?

Hmm. Maybe the rescue mode indication should be preferred over the lowmem 
one.


Thanks for the additional info. I've also asked the upstream kernel 
developers for help for this.

Could you also do the following:
- boot the installer
- proceed until the CD fails to be recognized
- switch to VT2
- what is the output of the following commands at that point:
  - ls /proc/bus/*
  - ls /sys/bus
  - cat /proc/interrupts
  - cat /proc/iomem
  - cat /proc/ioports
- enter the following commands:
  - logger -t DEBUG "Before loading ide-generic"
  - modprobe ide-generic
- send the /var/log/syslog at this point
- is there any change in the output of the commands above after that?

busybox-static question

[Michael Meskes]

Hi,

on cleaning my system from older packages I noticed that busybox-static
could replace my sash installation and offer even more functionality.
However, it needs manual administrative work to get things going while
the sash package takes care of almost all the stuff needed. Would it be
possible to add this stuff or at least parts of it to busybox-static?

Re: [RFC] Major issue with use of Choices-C

I've been looking at a solution for this in debconf, but am confused.

# LANG= LANGUAGE=nl LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ../../test-debconf-C

@langs = nl:en_us.utf-8:en_us:en.utf-8:en

# LANG= LANGUAGE=en LC_ALL=nl_NL.UTF-8 ../../test-debconf-C

@langs = en:nl_nl.utf-8:nl_nl:nl.utf-8:nl

(Values for @langs are from /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Template.pm.)

Why are both cases displayed in Dutch? I would have expected English for the
second.

It seems that because there are no specific -en.UTF-8 templates for English,
Dutch ends up being preferred.
This basically means that for debconf you'll never be able to override a 
specific locale setting using LANGUAGE=C or LANGUAGE=en; you'll always have 
to specify the locale and have LANGUAGE unset.

# LANG= LANGUAGE=en LC_ALL=C ../../test-debconf-C
=> Choices-C values are displayed
@langs = en:c

Here again, C is the first actual match because Choices-C exists.

# LANG= LANGUAGE= LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ../../test-debconf-C
=> Dialog is displayed in English
@langs = en_us.utf-8:en_us:en.utf-8:en

Here the display is finally correct, but only because there is _no_ match
at all...

I wonder if this patch to /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Template.pm would be

The first hunk makes sure that "Choices-C" fields are never explicitly
selected, but English is used instead. The second hunk solves the second
example I started with by breaking out of the loop if the language is "en"
and thereby ensuring debconf defaults to the standard field.

debian-boot is an English-speaking mailing list aimed for development
of the Debian Installer.

"what ISO image should be used to install a Pegasos 1"

Installation images are available from http://cdimage.debian.org

If you want to install development versions of the Debian Installer
(which install testing when used out of the box), please go to
http://www.debian.org/devel. Prefrrably first choose images named
"beta1".

From my poor knowledge of these machines, the "powerpc" images should
be used to install Pegasos machines.

J'espère que la réponse ci-dessus vous convient et est compréhensible.

Right, but could it be unblocked or not?

Re: [RFC] Major issue with use of Choices-C

It seems that the proper thing to do in localechooser is to clear the value 
of debconf/language in localechooser rather than setting it to C. This at 
least gets rid of the reported issue for serial console installs.

This indeed is a real issue.

I tested this by loading the following template on a running system (so 
using debconf):
Name: fjp/test
Choices-c: a, b, c
Choices: Option A, Option B, Option C
Choices-nl.utf-8: Optie A, Optie B, Optie C
Description: This is a test
Description-nl.utf-8: Dit is een test
Type: select
Owners: fjp/test

With the following script:
$ cat test
#! /bin/sh

. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule

db_reset fjp/test
db_input high fjp/test
db_go

Test results:
# LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ./test
# LANGUAGE=de ./test
=> Question and choices displayed in English

# LC_ALL=nl_NL.UTF-8 ./test
# LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8 ./test
# LANGUAGE=nl ./test
=> Question and choices displayed in Dutch

# LC_ALL=C ./test
# LANG=C ./test
# LANGUAGE=C ./test
# LANG=nl ./test # invalid
# LC_ALL= ./test
=> Choices are the values from Choices-c!

Cheers,
FJP
