Bug#606725: installation-guide: TFTP daemons now use /srv/tftp.
Package: installation-guide Version: 20100518 Severity: minor Dear D-I team, first of all, thank you for your hard work. I recently installed Squeeze, and it went very smoothly. I noticed a small inconsistency in the installation manual: TFTP daemons now use /srv/tftp instead of /var/lib/tftpboot. A command like the following will correct the manual and the howto. grep -r '/var/lib/tftpboot' . | grep -v svn | cut -f1 -d':' | xargs sed -i 's|/var/lib/tftpboot|/srv/tftp|' Since I did not figure out if it is necessary to run it on the whole tree, only the xml files (not the po), or only the english version, I am not submitting the corresponding patch. But let me know if there is something I can do.

Yes, it did You mention you picked French. I guess that was the language. However, after the country question, you should have been prompted with a choice for your keymap. Haven't you?

Bug#606515: Preseed installation does not wait for network to be ready

Attached a patch to netcfg that waits for the link to come up before
proceeding.
It times out after 10 seconds, so if link detection is broken for some reason
it doesn't affect the install.

Bug#606636: Reverse DNS takes precedence over netcfg/get_hostname
On Saturday, December 11, 2010 07:31:48 am Christian PERRIER wrote:
Correct. Apparently, though, that behaviour didn't bother anybody
enough to look at current netcfg code and propose the needed patch
Fair enough.
Attached a patch that introduces a new netcfg/hostname option that -if set-
takes precedence over the RDNS/DHCP hostname
magic.
This patch has a dependency on my other bug/patch:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606515 (Preseed
installation does not wait for network to be ready)
Because if netcfg/hostname is set, the reverse DNS check is skipped, and the
chance is higher that the installer attempts to fetch
the kickstart file before the network link is up running.

So it's the bug on the installation mode. Other errors, I don't find... So, if I understand correctly, you can't mount an LVM volume in rescue mode. Am I right? I have two PCs to install Debian squeeze. One(I call it #1 on this reply) is this FMV-6200 T5 PC. And another(#2) is a router and server with the system HDDs on sil3124 sata2 card.(#2 is Dell Dimension 8200). I could update #2 from lenny to squeeze successfully. And I tried to install #1 cleanly. And I could mount LVM volumes on #2 when I use the CD in rescue mode. -- Emmanuel Chanel emmanuelcha...@gmail.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
