Comments/Problems:

The QLA2200 SCSI controller in this box is supported by qla2xxx kernel 
driver, however it requires (non-free) firmware to operate. Earlier 
versions of installer have offered an option to load firmware from a 
removable drive during the installation, but this version does not 
offer this option, fails to detect the disks and jumps directly to the 
manual driver choice screen, so this is a regression.

This shouldn't be happening so I need you to make few tests in order to 
see what went wrong.

First, to make it clear - I suppose you you entered single user mode 
from the corresponding menu item of grup?  If you used 'emergency' mode 
(option -b at grub menu) then it would be normal for the keyboard to be 
leaven unconfigured.

Second, while you machine is entering single user mode do you see the 
text 'Setting preliminary keymap'?  If you don't, do you have a file 
/etc/rcS.d/S06keyboard-setup?

Third, if you see the text 'Setting preliminary keymap', can you test 
that the keyboard is still unconfigured? What is the output of the 
command

ls -l /etc/default/keyboard /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz

Console-setup uses time-stamps in order to determine whether the 
keyboard map needs recompiling.  If your date/time was incorrect and 
cached.kmap.gz seems newer than /etc/default/keyboard then console-setup 
will never recompile the keymap.  If this is the case, then you need to 
remove /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz.

Re: Obtaining UUID's to use for grub

 I'm using the amd64 flavor of the 503 netinst installation CD. In my

 Since there is no network initially, is it possible to acquire the
 UUID of
 a USB device, in human readable form, using only the tools on the
 netinst
 CD, so the UUID may be supplied to grub at the end of installation?
 And if
 so, how?

For the root= Linux parameter UUIDs are now by default used, especially
on a fresh new install.
If you mean for the GRUB root device, then you have to use GRUB 2.
Which with lenny means either install in expert mode or preseed
grub-installer/grub2_instead_of_grub_legacy with true.

Or if you really have to get it yourself for some custom boot entries
you make then just use in the installed system either
`grub-probe -t fs_uuid -d /dev/XYZ' or `grub-probe -t fs_uuid /path'

Doestn't matter what GRUB version gets used in that case, both depend on
grub-common which provides grub-probe.

Rescue Mode

2009-12-26 Thread Drew
Hi there,

I'm running Debian Squeeze on my laptop and had a question about booting.

I have to resize my primary/root ext3 partition to free some space for
the windows install (needed for work so can't be ditched) that this
machine dual boots. I've done this before but with a live CD which I'm
unfortunately about 400km away from at the moment. I've tried the
built-in rescue mode that shows on my grub menu but it wants to boot
my root partition which I don't want.

Can rescue mode be used without mounting the root directory? If not,
are there any pre-made debian boot packages that have a small
self-contained linux rescue environment builtin?

Thanks,

There are calls to a script 'check missing firmware.sh' during all three 
stages of hardware detection.

Please do an install in expert mode, before any hardware detection is 
performed, add a 'set -x' in:
- /bin/hw-detect
- /bin/disk-detect
- /bin/check-missing-firmware

Then, either check yourself where it's failing and/or send the resulting 
syslog (gzipped!).

The kernel in oldstable-p-u for s390 fails to boot (both with the installer

I would suggest this is a blocker for an oldstable point release. It also 
means another D-I upload will be needed.

I entered rescue mode again and did the loadkeys

I should have read the next script!

I tested manually after entering the maintenance mode S06keyboard-setup
and yes it does print something and does a setupcon -k but the

By wrong do you mean it is a QWERTY keyboard?  Or it is a French one but 
wrong in some other way?

What happens if you execute

loadkeys /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz

(it doesn't matter whether you do this in maintenance mode or after 
regular start of the machine)

Is the contents of /etc/default/keyboard correct?  It has to contain 
lines like the following:

XKBMODEL=pc105
XKBLAYOUT=fr
XKBVARIANT=

What happens with the keyboard if you use the command 'setupcon' when 
the machine is in regular mode (not in maintenance mode)?

I am puzzled by the fact you say the keyboard doesn't work in 
maintenance mode but it works in normal mode.  This is because in both 
cases the keyboard is configured by the command

loadkeys /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz

and there is nothing there to depend on /usr being mounted.  Can you 
edit /etc/default/console-setup and put there the line

VERBOSE_OUTPUT=yes

and see if there are some error messages?

It appears that logic in check-missing-firmware is flawed. It

correct device path for SCSI controller, confirmed by matching to

The logic in check_missing() function appends the missing firmware 
file name to the $files list and the module to $modules list. However, 
if such mapping fails (as in this case), nothing is appended to $files 
or $modules, and the file is simply ignored as a result:

if [ -n $modules ]; then
log missing firmware files ($files) for $modules
return 0
else
log no missing firmware in $MISSING
return 1
fi

The problem here is that empty $modules does not mean that there are 
no files in $MISSING which is set to /dev/.udev/firmware-missing (the 
log message is wrong as well). Not sure whether this problem is caused 
by changes to check-missing-firmware or kernel, I can try to boot a 
lenny installer tomorrow to see how it worked there.

I'm not sure when this happened, but apt used to be
build-essential=yes but now it's not.

Hi,

This bug is probably manifestation of ubuntu bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/germinate/+bug/254042

Apt is included in somewhere from Recommends, and is priority
important, so it is considered not build-essential; but it is
build-essential.

Bug#562557: console-setup: Wrong keyboard in single mode/normal boot failure

I tested manually after entering the maintenance mode S06keyboard-setup

By wrong do you mean it is a QWERTY keyboard?  Or it is a French one but
wrong in some other way?


Its a qwerty keyboard.



What happens if you execute

loadkeys /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz


Well I just removed it just in case. I will have to wait until reboot 
but I cannot now...



Is the contents of /etc/default/keyboard correct?  It has to contain
lines like the following:

XKBMODEL=pc105
XKBLAYOUT=fr
XKBVARIANT=


XKBMODEL=pc105
XKBLAYOUT=fr
XKBVARIANT=
XKBOPTIONS=lv3:ralt_switch



What happens with the keyboard if you use the command 'setupcon' when
the machine is in regular mode (not in maintenance mode)?


Well I have tried t log on a console and this does no more work either.


I am puzzled by the fact you say the keyboard doesn't work in
maintenance mode but it works in normal mode.  This is because in both
cases the keyboard is configured by the command

loadkeys /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz


I was simply wrong: I discovered it when entering in maintenance mode 
and last time I used the console to kill xbmc or kdm it worked. 
Something did chnage in the mean time.




and there is nothing there to depend on /usr being mounted.  Can you
edit /etc/default/console-setup and put there the line

VERBOSE_OUTPUT=yes

and see if there are some error messages?


Yes I get a syntax error! for Lat15-Fixed16.psf.gz. You got it because 
it. I attach it

In order to make the test more useful try to recreate this file before 
the reboot by using the command

setupcon --save-only

 XKBMODEL=pc105
 XKBLAYOUT=fr
 XKBVARIANT=
 XKBOPTIONS=lv3:ralt_switch

This seems OK.

Lat15-Fixed16.psf.gz is simply a console font.  What exactly was the 
error message?  Can you send the contents of /etc/default/console-setup 
to see of there are some errors in it (maybe a missing quotation mark).

2009-12-26 Thread Eric Valette


I finally found the bug: I traced setupcons -k in error mode and it 
expects to find ckbcomp but unfortunately /usr is not mounted and 
ckbcomp is /usr/bin/ckbcomp


I traced the setupcons -k with set -x and it exist with doing anyting 
because it does not find ckbcomp in the path.

Bug#562686: [console-setup] Silently breaks console-tools

2009-12-26 Thread Vedran Furač
Package: console-setup
Version: 1.50
Severity: important

Console-setup silently breaks console-tools. Yes, you've added a
paragraph in README.Debian, but I think that simply not enough.
Console-setup should detect that console-tools is installed and when
started should echo something like console-tools detected, its settings
will be overridden or similar. Also during installation you should show
this information to the user. I lost almost an hour today on this so
I'll set the severity to important.

Regards,
Vedran
