Bug#751704: partman-base 173: partman overwrites parts of u-boot

2014-06-15 Thread Karsten Merker
Source: partman-base
Version: 173
Severity: important

Upon testing a locally built debian-installer based on linux
3.15-1 (from experimental) on an Allwinner sunXi-based armhf
system, I have found that the system does not boot anymore after
partman has written a new partition table to the SD card from
which the system loads u-boot.

Kernel 3.15-1 is the first kernel in Debian that contains an
MMC/SD driver for this platform, i.e. with older versions
partitions could only be created on an attached SATA disk but not
on the SD card, so this problem has not shown up earlier.

In my first attempt, the partition table has been created by the
guided partitioning option in d-i, which has created the
following layout:

Disk /dev/sdd: 15 GB, 15718510080 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1911 cylinders, total 30700215 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

   Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System 
/dev/sdd1   *2048  499711  257008   83  Linux
Warning: Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.   
/dev/sdd2  4997122930687914402272   83  Linux
Warning: Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.   
/dev/sdd32930892630701567  6988275  Extended
Warning: Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.   
/dev/sdd52930892830701567  698827   82  Linux swap
Warning: Partition 5 does not end on cylinder boundary.   

The layout itself appears ok as the first partition starts at
sector 2048, i.e. at 1MB offset, but comparing the state of the
first MB of data on the device before and after partman has
written the partition table shows that not only the partition
table has been written, but also the area from offset 0x2000 up
to 0x25ff has been zeroed out.  On all Allwinner sunXi-based
systems this area contains the u-boot SPL, without which the
system cannot boot anymore.

A second attempt with manual partitioning showed the same
behaviour, i.e. it appears to be a general partman problem and
not specific to partman-auto.

Partman should only write the partition table but should not
touch the area between the partition table and the beginning
of the first partition as this area is used by bootloaders.

Regards,
Karsten

Now that flash-kernel is ok could be possible to build a dlink
firmware image using
./mkdns323fw -t DNS-320 -k /mnt/boot/uImage-3.14-1-kirkwood -i
/mnt/boot/uInitrd-3.14-1-kirkwood -o /tmp/firmware

And an ext2 image for installer ?

Please give me some pointer

Bug#751724: isolinux: gratuitous binary move

2014-06-15 Thread Cyril Brulebois
Package: isolinux
Version: 3:6.03~pre14+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i
Justification: breaks rdeps

This breaks reverse dependencies expecting binaries not to disappear
“for consistency”:

   * Moving isohybrid from isolinux to syslinux-utils for consistency.

Especially when no analysis has been performed and no bugs have been
filed in advance.

KiBi.

Bug#751731: please use syslinux-utils instead of isolinux for isohybird

2014-06-15 Thread Daniel Baumann
Package: debian-installer

Previously, for syslinux 6 the isohybrid{,pl} programs where availabe
within the isolinux package, however, since these programs are usable on
all architectures even if the bootloader isn't available, they have been
moved to the package syslinux-utils which will be available on all
architectures.

Please update your build-depends/depends to reflect that.

Regards,
Daniel
