installer DMA issue
Hi all, I have a problem when installing Debian Lenny on a Motorola blade. This particular blade has a hardware issue. It incorrectly reports DMA support for CF slot. I tried to boot the installer in Expert mode with ide-core.nodma=... but without any effect. cat /proc/ide/hdc/settings still reports DMA usage for the CF slot. Disabling DMA over /proc/.../hdc didn't help either. Is there any other way how to disable DMA and force PIO in Debian installer or I have to build a kernel for the installer without DMA support? Thank you. Michal Filka -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#606395: [G-I][squeeze-d-i-beta2] wrong keyboard layout in console (correct in X)
On Thu, Dec 09, 2010 at 08:35:24AM +0800, Samuel Thibault wrote: That's actually expected: we didn't want to switch back to the text console just to setup the keyboard (setupcon would refuse to run from the X server). But we should keep that on the TODO list, yes. As far as I can remember on the virtual consoles there is a text saying something like Press ENTER to activate this console. I don't know what program is displaying this text but isn't it possible to change the same program to run setupcon just before the shell? If for some reason this is impossible, then one can create the following helper script: === #!/bin/sh setupcon exec /bin/ash === and run it instead of a shell. Or if even this is impossible, then the installation manual should mention that the users can use 'setupcon' to configure the keyboard on the text consoles.

Bug#606110: installation-report: gtk installer fail to start with PXE boot of Dell Latitude D505
I discussed this issue with jcristau and wferi a few days ago. It is not easy to know how to debug this, but one idea is to modify the initrd.gz content load netconsole and use this to get kernel messages from the crash. When the system crash, the keyboard is dead (Alt-F4 or Alt-Ctrl-F4 do not work), and there seem to be no way to get information out at this point. To set up a netconsole, code like this would need to be added somewhere, for example in /lib/debian-installer-startup.d/ before starting X: modprobe netconsole netconsole=@/,@1.2.3.4/00:11:22:33:44:55 1.2.3.4 is the target ip, where an udp receiver need to be set up and 00:11:22:33:44:55 is the gateway mac, if needed. I hope to find time to set up such test, but do not expect it to happen any time soon. :( Christian Perrier mentioned on IRC that he is also using a D505 as a test laptop, and he do not have the same problem with g-i. He do not use PXE, but I do not belive that matter. I tried to boot a isohybrid ISO image from a USB stick, and it had the same problem with g-i.

Bug#606515: Preseed installation does not wait for network to be ready
Package: network-preseed Version: 1.41 We are experiencing problems automatically installing Debian Lenny on a number of dedicated servers using PXE and preseed. Our setup works correctly with some hardware configurations, while others give a Failed to retrieve the preconfiguration file error message. If we manually press Continue and tell Debian installer to fetch the preconfiguration file a second time from the menu, installation does work properly. I suspect the reason it does not work the first time is that Debian installer does not bother to wait before the network link is ready, before attempting to fetch the preconfiguration file. When I press alt-F4 and look at the messages it shows: == 23:15:29 main-menu[1624]: INFO: menu item 'network-preseed' selected 23:15:32 kernel: eth0: Link is up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex Flow control: none == So if I understand the messages correctly the network-preseed routine is executed 3 seconds before the link is actually up?

boot parameter interface=auto can't adaptation the correct NIC
hi all: I use squeeze Nov 6 build iso to install, i had three network interface card, a onboard NIC and two stand alone NIC is intel e1000, and e1000 1st(eth1) is plug a cable, e1000 2nd(eth2) and onboard(eth0) is not, i want to auto configure the NIC which plug cable (at this is e1000 1st, eth1), so i write interface=auto as boot parameter, but when get ip from dhcp server, the installation can't get ip. when i configure network manually, found the ip configure onboard NIC, that is say the ip is configure on eth0 not eth1. any idea? Or may be is a bug? If i want to auto configure the NIC which plug cable, how to? best regards Qin Bo
