Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.98
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

  please add the new entry for supporting FriendlyArm NanoPi NEO 2. Patch
is attached but also MR is available on Salsa:

https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/flash-kernel/merge_requests/5

This is the entry:

+Machine: FriendlyARM NanoPi NEO 2
+Kernel-Flavors: arm64
+Boot-Script-Path: /boot/boot.scr
+DTB-Id: allwinner/sun50i-h5-nanopi-neo2.dtb
+U-Boot-Script-Name: bootscr.uboot-generic
+Required-Packages: u-boot-tools
+

I was not able to cross-build the arm64 installer from amd64 so the
patch is not tested.

Please mind that the NanoPi NEO 2 target for u-boot has just been merged
in sid so it's not yet in Buster.

Regards,
Domenico

Christian Perrier  has retired, so can't work on
the flash-kernel package anymore (at least with this address).

We are tracking their status in the MIA team and would like to ask you
to remove them from the Uploaders list of the package so we can close
that part of the file.

(If the person is listed as Maintainer, what we are asking is to please
step in as a new maintainer.)

Fwd: Question on debian-installer

2019-05-24 Thread Al Patel 
Hi,

I am trying to use debian on an embedded system that does not have a CD. I
have used the debian CD image as a starting point and packed the CD
contents in initrd and rebuild a bootable ISO that has the installer.

I have created a preseed file to enable autoinstall. Auto-install fails at
step 13 - Configure the package manager [*].
I am unable to bypass that - it fails with code 10 in 50mirror script
invoked by apt-setup from main-menu
  relevant log:
  # apt-setup: /usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/50mirror backed up
 # INFO: Menu item 'apt-setup-udeb' succeeded but requested to
be left unconfigured.

if I change 50mirror to return 0 and proceed manually, then step 14 fails
(install). My cd contents are in /cdrom directory

Once step 13 fails in autoinstall step, if I execute step #15 (install
grub) (skipping 13 and 14), then grub installs fine and I can reboot the
system and it comes up.

Is there a way that in installer I can skip 13 and 14? Or a better way that
I can do this correctly?

Any general pointers on how I make progress on this? I cannot use net-boot
(remote mirror) and need to embed the required packages on the iso that I
am installing from (the iso will be downloaded and installed over the
network). Any other recommendations if I am not approaching this in the
debian way?

Thanks

Most people don't have a problem installing.  Of course searching will
mostly find the people that did have problems since people without
problems usually don't post anything to say "everything worked fine".

That laptop is very new and it is possible some part of the hardware
isn't supported by the kernel in Debian 9.  It was released in 2017
after all, quite a bit before that laptop existed.

You could try the installer for testing (The Debian 10 in development
right now) to see if that works better.  I suspect Debian 10 will make
it out sometime this year.

Bug#929481: Preseed on buster does not use extra repository

Comments/Problems:

I think the preseed for buster have changes from stretch and possibly
bugs.  This time I wanted to test the addition of an extra repository
to install software not in Debian.  But I can not make the installer
add the extra repo for installing the extra package.

deb http://www.calhariz.com/deb-ppa stretch main

Is a repo with only one deb file.  If I use the preseed in
www.calhariz.com to install stretch everything goes OK and I have the
extra package installed.  An almost same file does not work for buster.
