Bug#594184: debian-installer: activating bootflag on ext2/ext3 partition not possible
Package: debian-installer Severity: grave With a daily build netinst cd from 23. August 2010, it is impossible, to set the bootflag from Off to On. I tested this on two different machines (x86, pc-compatible), on an ext2 and an ext3 partition with msdos partition table (don't know if other partition types or partition table types behave different). Switch the bootflag from On to Off works fine, but the other way does not. Deleting the complete setup by hand and setting up a new, clean partition table gives the same result, it's impossible to create a setup with a bootable partition included. With a squeeze alpha1 businesscard cd, this all works fine.

Building monolithic images daily?
Hi all, Currently we are building daily netboot, cdrom and some other images depending on the architectures. There is a target for monolithic images, but it is not activated for the daily builds. I do wonder if we should enable it on the daily images, as it can be very useful for regression tracking. Monolithic images contain all the necessary udebs, so the list of udebs is known (from MANIFEST.udebs) and always the same. Any opinion?

Extending libdebian-installer's API to include certainty on subarch detection
Hey d-boot, I've recently been doing some work on improving sub-architecture detection support to be more generic. I currently have several ARM platforms (Marvell Dove, and TI OMAP3 + OMAP4) which have common kernels which work across multiple boards. I have found the explicit whitelist/board name to subarch we currently use for subarch detection on armel to be insufficent for my needs, and I'd like to propose extending the libdebian-installer API with the following function to the API: const char *di_system_subarch_analyze_with_certainity(int * certainity) This function behaves just like the existing di_system_subarch_analyze() function, expect the passed pointer returns a subarch specific level of certainity. This certianity is availability by the API, or returned as the exit code of archdetect (and thus available to base-insatller and flash-kernel-installer). With this patch in place, the following actions during subarchitecture detection are possible. 1. Fully-supported (board is whitelisted); /proc/cpuinfo's Hardware field matches an entry in the table in libd-i. Under this case, we simply provide the kernel list as normal, and then continue with installation. 2. Board is unknown, but generic detection has managed to make a reasonable guess at the board (in the current written code, the subarch string is extracted from the end of the kernel version, and then compared against a list of known good subarches that are known to support kernels that work across an entire line of boards (i.e., TI OMAP3's kernel will work on any OMAP3 board if the proper options are compiled in. The same is true for Marvell dove, and I believe its also true for Marvell kirkwood). Under this case, we display a warning to the user that the detection was fuzzy, that we may not be able to properly install the kernel via flash-kernel, and that they should proceed with caution. The user is allowed to select a kernel from the list. 3. Board is unknown, generic detection has failed. archdetect returns armel/unknown. Present the normal No installable kernels warning. Allow the user to proceed. I have a set of diffs which implement this API change as an example and also add a few new boards and subarches as required by my project. The diffs for hw-detect and libdebian-installer are here: http://people.debian.org/~mcasadevall/tmp/ These patches are not in a mergable state, nor do I plan to have anyone commit them as is, they are simply a proof of concept at this stage. I'm hoping to solicit reviews of my patches, and discuss the API inclusion. Any feedback is welcome.

Re: Building monolithic images daily?
Quoting Aurelien Jarno (aurel...@aurel32.net): Hi all, Currently we are building daily netboot, cdrom and some other images depending on the architectures. There is a target for monolithic images, but it is not activated for the daily builds. I do wonder if we should enable it on the daily images, as it can be very useful for regression tracking. Monolithic images contain all the necessary udebs, so the list of udebs is known (from MANIFEST.udebs) and always the same. +1 It is always tricky to track reported problems as many people are using daily built images that doesn't always contain the latest version of various udebs. An argument against this image could be that, at some points, it could be broken because it embarks two incompatible udebs. But I still think it would be a good debugging tool. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Question about ordering of debian-installer questions
In current debian-installer images (at least last I tried about a month ago), when you boot rescue mode, you are prompted for root password and username and such before being prompted for which partition to use for rescue mode. This was never the case in earlier releases. Given these questions serve no purpose what so ever for rescue mode, could they please be moved so that they don't needlessly make going into rescue mode ask half a dozen useless questions? I have no idea what controls the ordering, but something changed that has made rescue mode a lot less convinient now. Might be nice to fix that again before squeeze. Having used it probably 200 times in a row while trying to get grub2 working on an IBM powerpc, it got pretty tedious typing answers all those username and password prompts again and again, all the while knowing it was totally pointless. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Could EHEA driver be included on powerpc64 installer?
I encountered the problem that the EHEA driver isn't included on the installer when installing squeeze (powerpc64) on an IBM p520 power6+ machine. Using a USB stick to transfer the file after extracting it from the linux-image pacakge worked fine of course but is less convinient. The only other problem is that there is no working boot loader yet and the installer has no clue how to actually boot the machine. At the moment, installing grub2 actually does work, with a slight bit of manual work. The requirement is to use a very recent grub2 (which I believe is now in fact the case in squeeze), and then create a small (8MB is plenty) partition of type PReP boot. /boot obviously has to be on some filesystem supported by grub2, although that should not be a concern in most cases. grub-install does NOT work since it doesn't understand the IBM machine either. Copying the /usr/lib/grub/powerpc-ieee1275/ to /boor/grub manually, and then using grub-image to manually create a powerpc-ieee1275 image as /boot/grub/grub.img works fine (a number of patches have gone in recently that seem to fix issues with mdraid and such). It is also required to tell grub-image that the prefix has to be set to (hd0)/boot/grub or similar, depending on the grub device name the grub files are on, and the path. In my case I have (md/0)/boot/grub since I am using md raid1 with the new 1.x superblock. The image is then copied to the PReP boot partition using dd (so dd if=/boot/grub/grub.img of=/dev/sda1 (and sdb1) in my case). grub also requires devaliases in openfirmware at this time (hopefully someone fixes that at some point), which IBM machines don't automatically make, unlike every other openfirmware system. So manually creating hd0 and hd1 aliases using 'nvalias' in openfirmware for the two disks in my case was required. After that grub sees the disks, and detects that mdraid, and just works. Of course the initial installer boots fine from CD, other than of course needing 'video=ofonly' passed to install64. So if ehea.ko was included on the installer, it is currently possible to manually setup the boot partition and install grub2 and get squeeze running on an IBM powerpc server. Getting grub2 to support it in grub-install would be great, but needs work, and the installer could of course gain knowledge of the boot partition type needed as well, and grub2 could learn to not require devaliases in the openfirmware, but it does work. yaboot simply isn't an option, since the version that does work on the IBM hasn't been packaged yet (it was released years ago), but also yaboot has no clue about md raid or modern linux filesystems, or anything else decent one might want to use. grub2 is clearly better there, and is so close to ready for use that yaboot serves no purpose anymore. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hello, Christian PERRIER bubu...@debian.org wrote: Quoting Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer (perezme...@gmail.com): Some progress dialogs (like the progress bar when formating media) stop for several seconds and tehre is no other working indicator. Some users think the system has hanged. It would be good to have a simple then system is working indicator, like some dots moving or something. I'm fairly sure there is nearly no way to do this. The debconf progress bar are currently used at their best but getting good progress report when an external program is going to be quite a pain. When in d-i the partitioner is started, and you have a system without floppy drive, there is the situation for several seconds, that you have a complete empty screen (only blue background), and nothing seems to happen (this is while the d-i is searching for a floppy drive). For this situation you get no benefit with the solution provided by Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer (because there is no progress bar displayed). So you still have the case descripted by Lisandro, that the user may think the system hangs (ok, ok, this is only for a few seconds, I know :-) ). One way I can think of to solve all such situations, would be to display a clock in the bottom line of d-i. The clock could show the local time (so you have a little benefit from this) and the displayed seconds sequently changing would be an indicator, that the system is still working.

That documents a problem when upgrading from etch to lenny, but the problem is similar, and the solution is the same: don't name the device by it's device name (i.e. /dev/sda1), but by it's label (which can be specified during partitioning step) or by UUID (which is unique for every harddisk on earth). d-i people: Is device-naming defaulted to UUID now? (during my installation tests in the near past I saw that UUID was used by default.) If this is the case: Would you agree, that this bug can be closed?

Bug#593811: debian-installer: DHCP requests restart Livebox modem/router
On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 11:15:40AM -0300, Otavio Salvador wrote: Good; I think you could use a mini.iso to test which parameter is making it fail so we can restrict the code to look at. The installer itself calls udhcpc with many parameters and I think one of those are making your router to reset. Can you try those and see which one makes it fails? You can use console-2 at installer to play with it. I downloaded the daily mini.iso at about 17h00 24 august. My first try reboot the livebox router as days ago. I investigated some minutesin the scripts. Is the livebox autoupdated itself as sometimes ? None logs in the router is significant. I do not know why but now udhpc works fine. My three last retries are successes. I'll inform you if this is confirmed and retry with the snapshot of d-i of 22h05. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#593811: debian-installer: DHCP requests restart Livebox modem/router
Other tries : I rebooted again the last mini.iso. On normal mode, udhcpc get normally an IP from the Livebox.

This was never the case in earlier releases. Given these questions serve no purpose what so ever for rescue mode, could they please be moved so that they don't needlessly make going into rescue mode ask half a dozen useless questions? I have no idea what controls the ordering, but something changed that has made rescue mode a lot less convinient now. Might be nice to fix that again before squeeze. Having used it probably 200 times in a row while trying to get grub2 working on an IBM powerpc, it got pretty tedious typing answers all those username and password prompts again and again, all the while knowing it was totally pointless. This certainly comes from the following: user-setup (1.30) unstable; urgency=low [ Petter Reinholdtsen ] * Move main-menu item before partitioning and installation of the base system, to get more questions earlier during installation. This mail will create the bug report. I assign it to user-setup, though it might become needed to reassign it to rescue and try to deal with that in this package. signature.asc Description: Digital signature ---End Message--- ---BeginMessage--- Version: 1.32 This bug was fixed in user-setup 1.32. -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature ---End Message---

Bug#590771: d-i: cfdisk not working: Missing libncurses.so.5 in d-i
Quoting Holger Wansing (li...@wansing-online.de): In testing daily builds, cfdisk is no more usable, because libncurses is missing. In preparation of squeeze release, the package dependencies of cfdisk have been changed, a Depends to libncurses5 has been added, but there is no udeb existing for libncurses5. So, cfdisk is useless for d-i ATM. If we still want to keep cfdisk in d-i, then we should reassign this bug to libncurses5, asking for the creation of a udeb. But, do we want to keep a udeb of cfdisk? signature.asc Description: Digital signature
