Debian PPC
Hello, I followed the Appendix A HowTo for installing Debian on powerpc machines. I got all the way to the part where it says to remove your disc and reboot because it is complete. Upon reboot I see it booting and going through strings of commands. There is a picture of Tux the penguin at the top. Then the screen just goes blank.

preseed doesn't overwrite existing lvm partitioning
I could have sworn I had tested this previously, but it doesn't seem to be
working for me. I have a preseed configured and it will install on virgin
hardware without problem. But if I run the same install procedure for a
second time on the same machine, I keep getting no root partition errors from
the partitioner.
My testing is all in virtualbox, so figured must be something on the disk
like lvm metadata or something. As I can delete the virtual disk, create a
new one and the install goes off again without a hitch for the first install
only.
I have a sinking feeling I may have caused this myself :( I tried
consolidating several of our different preseed setups (softraid no lvm, hw
raid 5 with lvm etc) and to try and chainload a core preseed file with the
generic options, then specify the model specific preseed options in it's own
file. So I thought I threw the kitchen sink at d-i with the preseed commands
to handle the partitioning, but clearly it's not working for me. But like I
said, not sure if it ever worked for myself :) (note to self, must use cvs
for this stuff)
Here is my partitioning section from my preseed file. I'm sure the recipe
won't format very nicely in the message. But the sizes are off as I'm only
testing inside of a vm right now. Again, partitioning works fine the first
time through, so I'm pretty sure the recipe itself is ok, just the confirm
bits afterwards.

Oh, and while I may have someone's attention, is there a way to set the lv
name of each partition in the recipe? I've seen it referenced one time in a
web page, but never did find any documentation about it and figured someone
had just hacked up partman for their own sake.

Bug#662086: Possible resolution: Re: grub-install failed with raid+lvm
I ran into this same issue with a Debian Wheezy amd64 netinst disk (Binary-1 20120201-15:35). A quick Google search for some of the error messages turned up this post: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-grub-devel/2011-June/012317.html Like him, after mounting /proc manually while chrooted into /target, the grub-install succeeded from the Debian installer. Looks like grub-probe is basically failing for RAID and LVM because /proc is not mounted before grub-installer is called. Hope this helps. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Would indeed be nice. And ideally it should not just be a partman option, but a global option to assume sensible defaults for an unattended installation so that does not stop until an error is really fatal. Now you need to set about 50 preseed options to get a more or less flawless fully automated installation. While I suspect that a large number of users only want a custom root password and a custom network configuration, and could live with defaults for everything else... Yours sincerely, Floris Bos

Re: GSoC Project Idea: WPA2 support for the debian installer
Hi the description looks nice. I have written a draft for my application[1]. Does the project schedule look realistic to you? Looking in the BUG-Tracker I have found #636211, which looks like a nice thing to get started working with the code.
