After udpkg -i .../virtio-modules-2.6.26-1-amd64-di*, the rest went fine (including automatic detection). With scsi or ide, everything went fine. Another problem (with scsi and virtio) was that kvm didn't like to boot from that kind of media, but that's kvm bug #497214. (And a final bit, it would be great if there would be an installation medium that would work with the curses-only interface of kvm, i.e. uses only linux text mode.)

Bug#497285: not possible to preseed that no gatway should be used?
Package: netcfg It seems it's not possible to tell netcfg via preseeding that no gateway should be used. I thought this was possible but I cannot figure out how and the code suggests that it's not possible. joeyh made the following change in 2005 to allow preseeding: Index: static.c === --- static.c(revision 28680) +++ static.c(revision 28681) @@ -132,7 +132,9 @@ ptr[1] = '\0'; } -debconf_set(client, netcfg/get_gateway, ptr1); +debconf_get(client, netcfg/get_gateway); +if (empty_str(client-value)) + debconf_set(client, netcfg/get_gateway, ptr1); return 0; } This sets netcfg/get_gateway to the calculated gateway if netcfg/get_gateway is empty. So when you preseed an empty value, the calculated gateway will be used. Wouldn't it make sense to check if the seen flag is set? -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

That would conflict with the option to preseed a value but still have the question asked. Having a question preseeded does NOT automatically mean that the seen flag is set. Having a question asked does NOT automatically mean that it's not been preseeded. If more distinction is wanted I think the only way to do it is to use some special value that indicates to netcfg please calculate a default. IMO that would be a post-lenny change though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please make sure you have started your ssh sessions _before_ starting partman (so we know that they do not cause the OOM). Add a line 'set -x' in /lib/partman/lib/base.sh before you start partman and send the syslog after you get the OOM. Please follow the wiki page.

Indeed it doesn't. Having the option of Terminus seems useful, but using it by default feels uncomfortable.

A couple of xfce4 task notes
Hi, I just wanted to suggest that foomatic-gui be replaced by system-config-printer. It's got the same dependencies I believe and is the replacement for foomatic-gui, which is rather old. Also, I'm trying to clarify exactly what's happening, but it looks like when one installs xfce4 from the task (e.g. after doing a standard netboot install), that gdm pulls in gnome-session which pulls in gnome-settings-manager which prevents the xfce settings manager (xfce4-mcs-manager) from loading and therefore blocks xfce from booting. Perhaps the | x-terminal-emulator part of the gdm dependencies isn't working? Regards, Daniel -- And that's my crabbing done for the day. Got it out of the way early, now I have the rest of the afternoon to sniff fragrant tea-roses or strangle cute bunnies or something. -- Michael Devore GnuPG Key Fingerprint 86 F5 81 A5 D4 2E 1F 1C http://gnupg.org The C Shore: http://www.wightman.ca/~cshore signature.asc Description: PGP signature
