Bug#614504: Can't install debian 6.0 on a Dell optiplex gx110

2011-03-06 Thread Matthieu COUDERT
It works!
I simply removed the quiet option, and I encountered no other problem
during the installation process.
Thanks.

Bug#616522: GeoMirror (aka cdn.debian.net) as default mirror in standard installation?

 That doesn't seem to be that easy, as mirrors would need to be checked
 constantly, zone files need to be updated constantly too. This will lead to
 problems due to dns caches, additionally there are problems with dnssec too.

 +1 to Miguel suggestion. I was indeed thinking about the same when
 looking at choose-mirror bugs.

 grml.org has been doing this, but they are appearantly not too happy with
 that.

Yes. I share your view Holger.

Using cdn on my laptop I had problems with some broken mirrors. So it
really needs a good way of checking to be used by default.

 I have prepare some branches that has what I am intending to upload to
 stable-proposed-updates. The modules I have changed are the following:
 
 grub-installer

Doesn't look like this got uploaded yet?  The relevant fix is in
unstable but not testing yet; could we unblock the unstable package?

 linux-kernel-di-sparc-2.6

Presumably needs the kernel to be in before uploading.  Also, I'd
assumed that each of the l-k-d-i-* would get re-uploaded after the
kernel had been updated?  That's certainly what tended to happen for
lenny.

 tasksel

We agreed to skip this.

 cdebconf

Was this a checksum-related change?  I can't immediately find a
repository for it in order to check.

 debootstrap

Uploaded and accepted minus the checksum changes, as agreed.

 kernel-wedge

Not uploaded yet?

- kernel

Planned for this weekend, although not uploaded yet afaics.

- libdebian-installer

tbm's fixes for the new devices look fine.  Not updated in unstable yet
though, so you'll end up with the squeeze version being propagated
upwards.

- debian-installer

Needs everything else (except d-i-n-i) to be in place first.

Is the current proposed upload everything between the 20110106 tag and
the head of the squeeze branch? (i.e. up to 60f4ca5)

As there hasn't been a d-i upload in unstable since the release, and
assuming there isn't one beforehand, the updated images from p-u should
get copied to testing and unstable during the point release; not sure
how you (-boot) and ftp-master feel about that.

- debian-installer-netboot-images

Needs updating for #616014, both for sanity and license compliance
reasons.  See above r.e. versioning.

- colo-installer

Updated in both p-u and unstable, but not in testing yet as it's on
britney's needs-approval list.  Could we unblock it?  Otherwise 1.17
+squeeze1 will end up in testing during the point release.

- console-setup

Looks okay, other than the version number should be 1.68+squeeze1.
Fixed in unstable but not migrated to testing yet; could we unblock it?

- hw-detect

The fix for #611314 was previously acked and is fine. The comment
removed as part of 4b40c64 says # Loading snd-powermac locks up G5
systems; is that no longer the case?

Again, this has been fixed in unstable but not unblocked for testing
yet.

- apt-setup

Admittedly I have a slight vested interest here, but getting #613910
fixed in squeeze (and preferably unstable and testing) should help
reduce the support burden on #debian from people who chose not to use a
network mirror during install uncommenting the broken sources.list
entries, either manually or using e.g. update-manager, and then being
surprised when they don't work.

- anything I missed?

Regards,

Adam

Strange. Can you provide the URL of image you tested?

 The latest testing business card image worked fine though, but I didn't
 get as far as grub because sdhci-pci is still missing.

This is going to be fixed for  6.0.1.

 Why not, although it could really be used outside of d-i or even Debian,

touchkbd as suggested by Samuel seems good.

 That should be fine.  That gives us time to include longterm release

It would be nice if it can be done before since I'll do a surgery on
26th and need to travel for it on 24th or 25th.

netcfg. #614884 blocks #606268 against network-manager. We have a
working solution with the two fixes I mentioned in 614884 and my
supplied patch for NM's ifblacklist_migrate.sh filed against 606268.

The NM bug is RC but had no immediate solution forthcoming and was
therefore deferred. For over a month I've hung out on #debian and have
seen plenty of users affected by this bug, which is why I made the
effort to fix both the netcfg and NM halves of the problem myself. But
now it seems both the d-i and gnome teams have been rather busy and
unable to do anything with my patches. Is there anything more I can do
to help ensure this makes it?

 netcfg. #614884 blocks #606268 against network-manager. We have a
 working solution with the two fixes I mentioned in 614884 and my
 supplied patch for NM's ifblacklist_migrate.sh filed against 606268.
 
 The NM bug is RC but had no immediate solution forthcoming and was
 therefore deferred. For over a month I've hung out on #debian and have
 seen plenty of users affected by this bug, which is why I made the
 effort to fix both the netcfg and NM halves of the problem myself. But
 now it seems both the d-i and gnome teams have been rather busy and
 unable to do anything with my patches. Is there anything more I can do
 to help ensure this makes it?

Well, having it fixed in unstable would be a good start. The problem
doesn't just affect stable so having the first time the patch is in the
archive be a stable point release isn't generally appropriate.

Where would one find the patch for #614884?  Is it purely the snippet in
your message #21 in the bug log?

Adam

 Strange. Can you provide the URL of image you tested?

The latest one does it as well, also the non-gtk version

FYI, I created the VirtualBox machine with the default for Debian. I get 
as far as the boot menu, but if I press enter on 'Install' it just 
freezes, but it still reacts to Ctrl+Alt+Del.

$ dpkg -l virtualbox* | grep ^ii

ii  virtualbox-ose-qt 4.0.4-dfsg-1+b1

(this is on amd64)

On the real hardware I don't even get to the boot menu. The laptop is a 
HP ElitBook 8540p.

  The latest testing business card image worked fine though, but I didn't
  get as far as grub because sdhci-pci is still missing.
 
 This is going to be fixed for  6.0.1.

There were two problems. One was the wrong filepath to the migrate
script (yes, the snippet,) and the other was the missing execution bit.
With both fixes applied, the migrate script was executed as intended,
and once I patched the migrate script, NM worked properly after an install.

The biggest barrier to this is that Matt said he'd commit  upload as
soon as someone confirmed the bug is fixed by his patch. Well, I did
that, but don't have the source for the patched netcfg so we at least
need the commit ...

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

Lates debian installer on Squeeze Iso disk debian-6.0.0-amd64-BD-1.iso used to
install new computer.

I've created on sda and sdb the same partition configuration:
xen:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda /dev/sdb

At the moment the above two hds are available for installation. After migrating
something from  the old two existing
hard drives with the same geometry I will add them in the system, too.
So I want to configure all md's with 4 drives where 2 are missing.
This is not configurable in debian installer at the moment so I created the
needed md's manually with mdadm command.

In short the command I used must be

mdadm --bitmap=internal --name=bootmd --level=1 --raid-devices=3 --spare-
devices=1 /dev/md125 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 missing missing
mdadm --bitmap=internal --name=bootmd --level=1 --raid-devices=3 --spare-
devices=1 /dev/md126 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 missing missing
mdadm --bitmap=internam --name=datamd --level=6 --raid-devices=4 /dev/md127
/dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 missing missing

Here the output of the examine command after starting the old lenny:

All the rest I did with the installer:
The /dev/md125 is configured as /boot with ext3.

Then I created on /dev/md126 and /dev/md127 the crypted devices without
changing the parameters.

After the crypting devices are created (named md126_crypt and md127_crypt ?)
I've set up both for LVM
and created in md126_crypt the xenrootdg. md127_crypt I left alone for the
installation.

On xenrootdg I created an varvol for /var, homevol for /home, rootvol for / all
with ext3. I've used varfs, homefs
and rootfs for logical name of the filesystem. I created swapvol for swap use.

Bug#616721: Add support to create degraded md devices

2011-03-06 Thread Pierre Bernhardt
Package: debian-installer
Severity: whishlist
Tags: d-i

Latest debian installer on Squeeze Iso disk debian-6.0.0-amd64-BD-1.iso used to
install new computer.

At the level of creating md devices it is not possible to create degraded md 
devices.
For example if you have only one disk of two available for the md configuration 
it is
not possible to create an md1 with one active and one missing device. You need 
an minimum
of 2 disks available.
The same issue with raid-5 (3 needed, but in degraded mode working already with 
2 devices)
or with raid-6 (4 needed, but in degraded mode must work with 2 devices)

It is possible to use spare devices as missing but this is not the fact what I 
mean.

I can create e.g. manually md devices in the console with

mdadm --create --raid-devices=2 --raid-lcvel=1 /dev/md1 /dev/sda1
mdadm --create --raid-devices=2 --raid-level=5 /dev/md1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 
missing
mdadm --create --raid-devices=2 --raid-level=6 /dev/md1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 
missing missing

so I can later add the missing devices. Please extend the md configuration so 
degraded
raid array's can be build at time of installation. A warning message should be 
seen here,
if an degraded array will be build.

MD bitmap can trivially be done later... FWIW.

md configuration is quite complex nowadays, and some things
(various options for different layouts like r10 near and far
copies, chunk size, algorithm for r5 etc) are more important
than bitmap, because these can't be changed after the array
has been created (or requires rebuilding (reshaping) the
array).

The rescue-disk-pc Boot Symptom is :-

error:  hd0 cannot get c/h/s values
error:  you need to load the kernel first.
press any key to continue

grub ls
 (cd) (cd,msdos1) (fd0)

I also tried with the  rescue-disk-pc 1.99~rc1-3 set root=
(sd0,0) or (sd1,0) or (sd0) or (sd0,1) or (sd1,1) or (sda,1) or (sda)
error: no such disk.

I set it back to hd0,1 and tried again. No joy. back to the symptom.

I can use the 'install disk, graphical rescue mode' to /dev/sda1 ok.

# eject /dev/scd0
 works, along with other sda1 resident applications.

# /usr/bin/nano /etc/apt/sources.list

# /boot/grub/grub --version
grub (GNU GRUB 1.99~rc1-3)

I also ran
# /usr/sbin/update-grub2
I tried booting from the dasd without using the rescue-disk-pc to hd0 again,
but it would still not boot afterwards, or with a subsequent rescue-disk-pc.

In the machines AMIBIOS setup - Advanced CMOS setup :-
With the cdrom trays empty, a boot from the DASD with 'SCSI' set in
the machines Bios as '1st Boot Device' and further Devices set to disabled,
 still gives :-
Searching for Boot Record from SCSI..Not Found
Boot Failure
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or insert Boot Media in selected Boot device
Press any key when ready

With CDROM set as '1st Boot Device' and SCSI set as '2nd Boot Device'
still gives:-
Searching for Boot Record from CDROM..Not Found
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or insert Boot Media in selected Boot device
Press any key when ready

You would think that with the last (2nd Boot Device) set as SCSI,
the 4th from last line would still say :-
 Searching for Boot Record from SCSI..Not Found. 
as this would be the last device it tried to boot from.
Further boot devices are set to disabled.

I hope my installation-report helps with the GRUB Release Candidate 1-3 work.
Regards McTech.

Bug#616733: os-prober: Does not detect MS-DOS reliably

2011-03-06 Thread Matti Kurkela
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.42
Severity: normal


Configuration:
- system is partitioned as follows:
  /dev/sda1 = Linux /boot
  /dev/sda2 = DOS 6.22
  /dev/sda3 = extended partition
  /dev/sda5 = Linux LVM PV, containing swap and Linux filesystems
- /dev/sda2 is mounted on /dos 
  (so the DOS 6.22 system directory is /dos/dos )

Commands issued as root:
# cd /root
# update-grub2
# cd /dos
# update-grub2

Expected results:
update-grub2 runs grub-mkconfig, which uses os-prober via
/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober script. It finds the DOS partition and adds it to
GRUB boot menu. The results should be the same no matter in which directory
update-grub2 is run.

Actual results:
When the current directory is /root, the DOS partition is not detected.
When the current directory is /dos, the DOS partition is detected
successfully.

# cd /root
# update-grub2
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.36.4-c7
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.36.4-c7

Found memtest86 image: /memtest86.bin
Found memtest86+ image: /memtest86+.bin
Found MS-DOS 5.x/6.x/Win3.1 on /dev/sda2
done
 

Analysis:
os-prober's MS-DOS test in /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/20microsoft does not
use an absolute path when it verifies that dos is a directory.
Patch attached.

Further suggestions:
Testing for the presence of dos directory is not a very reliable test for
MS-DOS: the directory might exist also on systems updated from MS-DOS/Win3.1
to Windows 9x, and the name of the MS-DOS system directory was relatively
easy to customize.

A better test would be to look for initial boot files: IO.SYS and
MSDOS.SYS: their location is fixed at the root of the MS-DOS/Windows
system partition.

Step 1) If both IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS exist, and no other versions of
MS-Windows are detected, the OS is either MS-DOS/Win3.1 or
Windows 9x/ME.

Step 2) If MSDOS.SYS is a binary, the OS is MS-DOS/Win3.1;
if MSDOS.SYS contains only text with CRLF line terminators 
(although not necessarily ASCII only: localized versions may have
included national characters in CP850 or other Microsoft
proprietary extended-ASCII encodings), the OS is Windows 9x/ME.

Yes. I did it wrong :-( My fault.
