Re: Switch kernel to 2.6.28-1?

2009-03-02 Thread Martin Michlmayr
* Christian Perrier bubu...@debian.org [2009-03-02 06:46]:
 Shouldn't we switch to 2.6.28-1 kernels now?

Personally, I'd wait for 2.6.29, but if we want to go with 2.6.28 then
we should ask the kernel team to upload a new version - at the
moment, a lot of arches won't boot because of missing IDE drivers.
(This is fixed in SVN.)

Comments/Problems:

Hi,

i'm trying to boot in pxe with this parameter for a preseed installation

 LABEL 2
   kernel  linux-20090216
  append auto DEBCONF_PRIORITY=critical DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text
locale=en_US vga=no url=http://X.X.X.X/preseed.cfg initrd=initrd-20090216.gz
   interface=eth0  tg3.blacklist=yes   e1000.blacklist=yes --
   

I use blacklisting kernel modules to prevent it from being loaded
automatically by the kernel and udev to keep the correct interfaces
order in a automatic (preseed) install. this blacklisting works
perfectly in Debian etch ... but not in lenny. the module, for example
tg3 (tigoon) is loaded during install processing.

I also tried with this syntax modules=blacklist.

thx,

Noss

Martin is currently working to get me a PegasosII which will be used to
build the powerpc dailies. When I get it, however, I will also use it to
fix the installer for the PegasosII platform, which does not currently
work because it creates partitions with a too large blocksize or some
such (I don't know the details offhand). When I'm working on this, I
could as well look at doing PS3 support at the same time.

I don't currently own a PS3, however, and while I do plan to eventually
acquire one, I'm going to have to do this blind; so while I'm working on
this, I might have to ask you to test my images from time to time.

Bug#517854: Haven't install Chinese fonts and input engine in locale zh_HK

2009-03-02 Thread Roy Chan
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20090123

The Debian Installer of Debian 5.0.0 don't install chinese fonts and
input engine
when people choose Traditional Chinese and Hong Kong as the language and
region (locale zh_HK). This make the installed Debian system fail to display
Chinese but only square symbol.

The installer should install ttf-arphic-uming, scim-tables-zh  im-switch or
any packages required in zh_TW in order to provide a function-able zh_HK
environment.

I had tested it with Debian 5.0.0 businesscard i386 installation CD several
times. Choosing taiwan produce correct Chinese environment but choosing
hong kong produce messing environment.

Thanks in adv. :)

Yes; I agree with that and it also avoids the translation issue.

With Debian 5.0.0 lenny, there is the 486 kernel installed.

Because, this is only a file server, the 486 kernel works fine.
There are no performance differences between the 486 kernel or the 686 kernel.

From my side, the bug report can be closed.
This is only for information.

Bug#517854: Haven't install Chinese fonts and input engine in locale zh_HK

2009-03-02 Thread Christian Perrier
Quoting Roy Chan (voi...@gmail.com):

 I had tested it with Debian 5.0.0 businesscard i386 installation CD several
 times. Choosing taiwan produce correct Chinese environment but choosing
 hong kong produce messing environment.


Damn. This is one of those cases where we suffer from the silly trick
of using zh_CN and zh_TW to differentiate between two different
*scripts*. I really dream of different ISO-639 codes for the two
different written versions of Chinese: Traditional and Simplified.

Hopefully, we'll find a workaround, still...

Bug#517859: Wrong kernel installed at VIA C3

2009-03-02 Thread Otavio Salvador
Bernhard bwo...@online.de writes:


[...]

 The used Processor is a VIA C3 Nehemia Processor with 667MHz.
 Debian 4.0 etch has installed the 686 kernel.
 With Debian 5.0.0 lenny, there is the 486 kernel installed.

[...]

I belive this is fixed in trunk. Please take a look at #504095. I'd say
to merge this bug with #504095.

[RFC] Debian Installer related scripts suitable for moving

2009-03-02 Thread Otavio Salvador
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

RM people has get in touch with me asking for which script we consider
suitable for moving into release.debian.org.

The only ones that come to my head are:

 1. testing summary (http://merkel.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/testing-summary.html)
 2. building summary (http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/build-logs.html)

It was make clear to RM team that we need to be able to fix the scripts
by ourselfs and I belive that it shouldn't be a problem.

I'd like to know if someone belives that any other script should be
moved or do not agree with the moving of any of the scripts above.

Please people, comment on that.

Cheers,

Bug#517935: debian-installer: partman-auto/expert_recipe minimum size sanity check counts both LVM VG and LV

2009-03-02 Thread Axel Beckert
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Version: 20090123

While preparing the presseding file for our fully automated Lenny
workstation installation I ran into the following bug:

The following recipe works fine on a 80026 MB:

d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string   \
dphys-ws-part ::\
256 1000 512 ext3   \
$primary{ } $bootable{ }\
method{ format } format{ }  \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }\
mountpoint{ /boot } \
.   \
61440 100 1 lvm \
$primary{ } $defaultignore{ }   \
method{ lvm } vg_name{ vg0 }\
.   \
15248 4 46080 ext3  \
$lvmok{ } in_vg{ vg0 } lv_name{ root }  \
method{ format } format{ }  \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }\
mountpoint{ / } \
.   \
2048 1 10240 ext3   \
$lvmok{ } in_vg{ vg0 } lv_name{ data }  \
method{ format } format{ }  \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }\
mountpoint{ /export/data1 } \
.   \
1024 2000 10240 ext3\
$lvmok{ } in_vg{ vg0 } lv_name{ scr }   \
method{ format } format{ }  \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }\
mountpoint{ /scratch }  \
.   \
10 1000 1048576 ext3\
$lvmok{ } in_vg{ vg0 } lv_name{ dummy } \
method{ keep }  \
.

And the following does not and the default recipe (root + swap) is
used instead:

d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string   \
dphys-ws-part ::\
256 1000 512 ext3   \
$primary{ } $bootable{ }\
method{ format } format{ }  \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }\
mountpoint{ /boot } \
.   \
61440 100 1 lvm \
$primary{ } $defaultignore{ }   \
method{ lvm } vg_name{ vg0 }\
.   \
15249 4 46080 ext3  \
$lvmok{ } in_vg{ vg0 } lv_name{ root }  \
method{ format } format{ }  \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }\
mountpoint{ / } \
.   \
2048 1 10240 ext3   \
$lvmok{ } in_vg{ vg0 } lv_name{ data }  \
method{ format } format{ }  \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }\
mountpoint{ /export/data1 } \
.   \
1024 2000 10240 ext3\
$lvmok{ } in_vg{ vg0 } lv_name{ scr }   \
method{ format } format{ }  \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }\
mountpoint{ /scratch }  \
.   \
10 1000 1048576 ext3\
$lvmok{ } in_vg{ vg0 } lv_name{ dummy } \
method{ keep }  \
.

The only difference: The minimal / LV size grew from 15248 to 15249.

You can easily check that minimum boot partition size plus minimal VG
size fit onto the disk without problems and that all the remaining
partitions fit into the VG with their minimal size.

But the installer seems to sum up all minimal

Comments/Problems:

I did an install which went flawlessly except some mirror trouble (not d-i 
problem; apt had issues afterwards with that mirror too)

I then tried rescue mode to make sure I would have it available when I needed.  
Overall it works, but there were some things I had to do manually because d-i 
doesn't know how to handle my configuration.

I have LVM on crypt on RAID.   Rescue mode tries to mount the encrypted 
partition but it tries to cryptsetup (password) /dev/hda2 but that is only one 
component of a RAID5 device it is part of (which contains an encrypted 
partition).  It should be running cryptsetup on /dev/md1.

Once I realized that I opened a console and did crypsetup luksOpen on /dev/md1, 
and then vgchange -a y volume_group to make the LVM avaible.  After that I was 
able to return to the normal run a shell on root partition and bit the LVM root 
partition.

yaboot from USB SATA drives

2009-03-02 Thread Stephan

Hi there folks,

I've been banging my head against this for a week now, have searched 
hundreds of pages, and still haven't quite figured this out.


I have four happy healthy Mac G4s, with ancient and dying EIDE hard 
drives.  As I expect the machines to live close to another half decade, 
I'm trying to create a system where they can boot to my SATA hard 
drives, without an EIDE drive.  I've successfully installed yaboot to 2 
gig usb pen drives, which is suitable for installing the base system 
(I'm using Debian Etch) but as Open Firmware can't see my PCI SCSI 
controller (though the Debian installer can) I'd like to install a 'boot 
only' system to the USB drive, with the SATA drives holding the bulk of 
my data.  I'm not trying to specifically set up a RAID system (at this 
time.)


What I haven't been able to figure out, is how to set up the pen drive 
to hold both the yaboot, and necessary boot/startup directories.  Any 
suggestions?


Thank you kindly,

Stephan

Bug#514055: [Cbe-oss-dev] Bug#514055: debian still not working on PS3

2009-03-02 Thread sean finney
hi wouter, martin, geoff,

 I don't currently own a PS3, however, and while I do plan to eventually
 acquire one, I'm going to have to do this blind; so while I'm working on
 this, I might have to ask you to test my images from time to time.

i'm also available to test images etc, please let me know if i can help.

 OK, thank you for the support.  I can test the images.  Please put a
 image somewhere, and then let me know.
 
 I'm hoping there isn't much to do other that get the proper drivers
 into DI's initrd.

while the drivers are the only major problem, it might also be nice
to put in a hook to add the ps3-utils package when installing the ps3.

later on it would also be nice to get something like kboot (or better, 
petitboot) packaged and integrated into the installer.  however, this
is currently problematic because of all the embedded copies of source
code in that project.

Re: [RFC] Debian Installer related scripts suitable for moving

2009-03-02 Thread Christian Perrier
Quoting Otavio Salvador (ota...@debian.org):

  1. testing summary (http://merkel.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/testing-summary.html)
  2. building summary (http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/build-logs.html)
 
 It was make clear to RM team that we need to be able to fix the scripts
 by ourselfs and I belive that it shouldn't be a problem.


The testing-summary is obviously something that's entirely in the
scope of the release team and running it as a release team tool makes
perfect sense.

The building summary is more something that's the duty of the D-I RM
to monitor and is more clearly a D-I tool. Still, having it run
under a developer account is a small weakness (small because that
developer is Joey whose reliability is very well known even though he
doesn't participate so much to D-I development).

As, the build status of D-I still affects the overall release, I think
it would be a good move to have this run under the release team hat.

Re: Installation of sudo based systems

Hi

Jérémy pointed me to this outstanding issue, so I had a look...

  Of course, that under the condition that the text displayed at that

 That was my intention. :)  Sorry for not being totally clear about it.

Please find attached a first try at d-i hacking to implement the above :-)

Bug#517854: Haven't install Chinese fonts and input engine in locale zh_HK

(keeping Arne CC'ed even though I suspect you'd see this answer anyway)

Quoting Arne Goetje (a...@linux.org.tw):

  Damn. This is one of those cases where we suffer from the silly trick
  of using zh_CN and zh_TW to differentiate between two different
  *scripts*. I really dream of different ISO-639 codes for the two
  different written versions of Chinese: Traditional and Simplified.
 
 Err, no. Just use RFC4647 for the whole locale system.
 zh-Hans   = simplified
 zh-Hant = traditional


Which, if I'm correct, would mean having zh-Hans_CN and
zh-Hant_TW|zh-Hant_HK locales, right ?

Also meaning renaming PO files progressively as well.


It would be nice if we could implement this.
