Bug#500079: Bug#497110: Missing root option for other detected Linux OS on dmraid

2008-09-25 Thread Giuseppe Iuculano
Frans Pop ha scritto:
 improvement before it can be merged. Before it gets merged I'd like to
 see a dual boot with Windows tested as well.

Unfortunately I haven't a dual boot with Windows for testing.


 As this whole section is Linux-specific, I don't really like it being
 outside the 'case' statement. If it remains outside, it should start
 with a test for host_os.

Why is Linux-specific ? I think the missing root option is for other OS on
dmraid in general, not only for Linux OS on dmraid


 Note that in other places we use 'dmraid -s -c'. Is there a real
 difference? Consistency is important!

-sa displays only active raid sets, I think you should use -sa also in other 
place.

 Why not just set tmp_part instead of tmp_satadevn in the first hunk? Then this
 whole hunk would not be needed.

Right, attached the new debdiff

let the Debian-Installer partitioner recognize LVM logical volumes on encrypted RAID 1 partition

2008-09-25 Thread Paul Menzel
Dear list,


I hope this is the right place to ask. If not excuse me and please point
me to the right one.

I changed my mainboard with processor with 64 bit capability. I used the
old hard disks where I installed a Debian 32bit Linux kernel on before,
which works.

My goal is to “reinstall” Debian with a 64bit Linux kernel. But
unfortunately I am getting a problem on the way.

Idea: Just reinstall Debian amd64 and tell the Debian-Installer to keep
the old /home and /var partition.

Problem: I am using a RAID 1 setup with an encrypted partition with LVM
volumes on it and I do not get the Debian-Installer to recognize it.


Now I will elaborate a bit. You can find a little more information at
[1].

# Setup

All the following steps were done with the Debian-Installer some time
ago.

• two hard disks (SATA) /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
• Create two partitions sd[ab]0 and sd[ab]1 for boot and data. Each of
them were put into a RAID 1 array.
• Encrypt md1 with LUKS.
• Setup up LVM with logical volumes for /home, /var, /usr, ….
• Back then I had to use the work around in [2], but this seems
unrelated.

# Steps to reinstall Debian with amd64 Linux kernel

1. prepare and boot from USB stick with
debian-testing-amd64-businesscard.iso
2. do steps until detect hard disks and than partition hard disk
3. raid devices and LVM volumes are not shown
4. open a shell and do some steps according to [3]

# anna-install crypto-modules cryptsetup-udeb
# depmod -a
# modprobe dm-mod
# modprobe aes

I think after this step the Raid devices are shown in the partitioning
menu of the Debian-Installer.

# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md1 md1_crypt

This succeeds. From here on I do not know what to do. I try

# lvdisplay
File descriptor 3 left open
File descriptor 4 left open
File descriptor 5 left open
File descriptor 6 left open

I did not find anything useful searching the Internet. On [4] it says to
use lsof, but this is not available in the Debian-Installer.

# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=755)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=600)
/dev/sdb1 on /hd-media type vfat
(ro,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,allow_utime=17,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8)


Can you give me a hint and can I provide more information?


Thanks a lot,

Paul

Accessing Lenny Netboot Daily Images for PowerPC

2008-09-25 Thread Jason Hanna
Hi All,

I'm doing some work with embedded systems and am currently trying to
install Lenny via netboot with an NFS mounted root filesystem.

While attempting to access the netboot daily images for PowerPC I see
that a HTTP 404 is being returned for the following URL:

http://people.debian.org/~wouter/d-i/powerpc/daily/

A bad link on the debain-installer page
(http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/) or a problem with the
daily builds for PowerPC?

I didn't see any similar looking issues in the wiki so I'm posting here.

Regards,

Interaction with user in preseed's early/late command

2008-09-25 Thread Gustavo Miranda
Hi,

I'm trying to customize an ubuntu 8.04 installation using an alternate CD. I
created an preseed file and I use early and late commands to customize the
installation. Commands to install and remove packages work fine.
I'm having trouble in executing scripts that interacts with the user. For
example, if I try to run the following script, it doesn't work the way I
want, because I can't activate the virtual terminal(vt) #3 via script. The
'echos' are redirected to vt #3 but not the 'read' command, so the
installations stops because it can't pass the read command.

-
#!/bin/sh

chvt 3
echo \n  /dev/tty3
echo 
  /dev/tty3

echo Enter your name: 
read name
echo You entered $name
---

When you change to other vt(command chvt 3), you get the message Please
press enter to activate this console and have to press Enter to activate
the virtual terminal.I tried to simulate that 'Enter' using the echo
commands above, but they don't work, the vt remains deactivated.

I don't know if I made myself clear. My english is not that good ..

Any suggestions to solve my problem? any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You CANNOT use stdin/stderr to interact with users during the 
installation. You should always use debconf questions.

You can create a custom udeb to ask your questions, but it is also 
possible to create templates on the fly. Examples of the last can be 
found here: http://hands.com/d-i/.

If you use a daily built version of the installer, both pre-existing RAID

Installing with D-I from d-ports.org

2008-09-25 Thread Frans Pop
Someone asked on IRC a few weeks back how to do this. I asked to mail the 
question to the list, but that never happened (which IMO is silly).

Anyway, I happened to be thinking about that yesterday and thought I'd 
just spontaneously share my thoughts with you.

As always in D-I there are a few thousand possible solutions, ranging from 
ugly hacks to elegant written code. My suggestion would be to use an 
elegant hack, at least for the time being.

The only problem is during installation. During build, assuming the build 
host points to d-ports, everything should work fine.

During installation you basically want to avoid displaying the mirror 
list. But you also want to allow users to use a local mirror.

Easiest solution for that is probably to use initrd preseeding [1].
This should do the above and avoid the need to modify any components.

The preseed file should contain the following three lines (ignoring 
security mirrors for now as you only have unstable):
d-i mirror/country string manual
d-i mirror/http/hostname string debian-ports.org
d-i mirror/http/hostname seen false

The first line ensures that the country list is not displayed. The last 
two lines ensure that the hostname _is_ asked, but has the correct 
default.

The preseed file can be included in the images by using a mechanism that 
was in place for the Etch installer, but which has been dropped in trunk. 
Check out installer/build from the etch branch, and see the unstable.cfg 
file and grep for PRESEED_SUITE.
IMO it should be no problem to again add something like that for d-ports.
The variable (DEBIAN_PORTS maybe?) could simply be set in config/m68k.cfg.

Cheers,
FJP

Embedded Lenny Install on PowerPC

2008-09-25 Thread Jason Hanna
I'm working on an embedded project - currently trying to install Lenny
on an AMCC PowerPC 405EX evaluation board (Kilauea). Sorry for the
newbie question and let me know if I should be posting somewhere else.

I've got a 2.6.26 kernel cross-compiled (running Lenny AMD64 and ELDK
4.2 on my workstation) and am using U-Boot (v1.3.2) on my evaluation
board. At boot time I've configured U-Boot to download my custom
kernel and FDT blob and NFS mount the root file system. The root file
system is an expansion of the initrd.gz file (from the Lenny Beta 2
installer netboot folder) - including updated modules added by running
'make ... install-modules'.

My embedded system boots and the install procedure begins. Everything
is fine until I reach the 'Download Installer Components' page. I'm
receiving an error message saying:

'No kernel modules were found. This is probably due to a mismatch
between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the
kernel version available in the archive'

I presume this is due to the fact I've compiled my own kernel and the
version strings don't exactly match? There is also a warning logged in
/var/log/syslog from anna[3678] noting 'no packages for kernel in
archive'.

Is there a way to turn up the debugging during install to see what the
actual mismatch is?

Any other suggestions as to resolution or next steps are also welcome.

Thanks,
-jmh

This is really very simple.

The 'uname -r' of the running D-I kernel must match the package name of 
module udebs, which is in general *-modules-$(uname -r)-di. And of course 
they must be ABI compatible.

Note that the actual comparison is with a field in the control file of the 
udebs and not the package name. For example:
$ dpkg -e sata-modules-2.6.26-1-amd64-di_1.46_amd64.udeb
 Package: sata-modules-2.6.26-1-amd64-di
 Source: linux-kernel-di-amd64-2.6
 Version: 1.46
 Kernel-Version: 2.6.26-1-amd64
 Architecture: amd64
 [...]

But of course that field will match the package name.

The disadvantage of using a netboot image is that normally it will need to 
download modules from a mirror. You may be better of just including all 
modules you need in the initrd or compiling them into the kernel (if size 
limits allow). If you do that you can just ignore the error.

FJP

Re: Embedded Lenny Install on PowerPC

Thanks Frans.

Wanted to make sure I understood the exact formula. Downloaded the
(older) kernel source and completed the EXTRAVERSION attribute in the
makefile. Re-compiled and I *should* be all set now.

 This is really very simple.

 The 'uname -r' of the running D-I kernel must match the package name of
 module udebs, which is in general *-modules-$(uname -r)-di. And of course
 they must be ABI compatible.

 Note that the actual comparison is with a field in the control file of the
 udebs and not the package name. For example:
 $ dpkg -e sata-modules-2.6.26-1-amd64-di_1.46_amd64.udeb
  Package: sata-modules-2.6.26-1-amd64-di
  Source: linux-kernel-di-amd64-2.6
  Version: 1.46
  Kernel-Version: 2.6.26-1-amd64
  Architecture: amd64
  [...]

 But of course that field will match the package name.

 The disadvantage of using a netboot image is that normally it will need to
 download modules from a mirror. You may be better of just including all
 modules you need in the initrd or compiling them into the kernel (if size
 limits allow). If you do that you can just ignore the error.

 Cheers,
 FJP
