Ok.  I don't think running the script on wheezy's kernel is
necessarily supposed to work, so that error can be disregarded.

Unfortunately, I've no idea regarding the segfault.

Yes. I started a debian "reinstall" on a wheezy installation on the
QNAP, by running the kirkwood-qnap to detect the kernel version.
I don't recall getting an error, it just does:

echo "kirkwood-qnap: Unable to determine $machine variant " >&2
exit 1

So, I figured the model in cpuinfo (Feroceon 88FR131 rev 1 (v5l)) was
less important for the kernel version than
/sys/bus/soc/devices/soc0/soc_id and lscpi output and picked kernel-6282.

Then I flashed new kernel-6282 and initrd:
cat $kernel > /dev/mtdblock1
cat initrd > /dev/mtdblock2

I didn't change uboot.

Then I rebooted and got the stretch installer, and I tries install the
system at least 10 times trying to rule out that anything I did along
the way was a problem (like change DNS manually) ... but it kept
segfaulting at the same point consistenly.

I ran the tests on wheezy before flashing the installer for reinstall. I
could probably get back to the wheezy system (somehow, maybe using
TFTP). As of now I've left the system in this stretch-half-installed
state if there's need for debugging.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were talking abou the flash-debian script
(the script you run on the QNAP firmware to run the installer).  But
you're talking about kirkwood-qnap, the script in flash-kernel.  What
error did you get?  Which verison of Debian did you run it on?

Not 100%. (Since I couldn't find documentation about the difference),
But I read the detection script and noticed that it got the "6282" name
frem lspci, and that my box had :6282 in the device-id.

I have the original firmware "somewhere", but the box has been running
wheezy for 2 years and it hasn't had any upgrades from QNAP.

I received one other report about a segfault on QNAP (when running
anna) a few months ago.  (This was in private mail and wasn't reported
to debian-boot even though I recommened it.)

Unfortunately, I don't really know what's going on.

Are you sure you're using the right kernel?

Maybe the QNAP firmware has changed.  If you can easily go back to the
QNAP firmware, we can look into this issue.

Bug#870869: Segfault during libc-l10n install on kirkwood (armel)

[Peter Mogensen]

Package: base-installer
Version: 1.169

While trying to install stretch on a QNAP 419PII, the installation 
consistently fails with a segfault in dpkg when it tries to install 
locales and libc-l10n.


I install using the method described here:
http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/qnap/ts-41x/install/

Using the kernel-6282, (even though the kirkwood-qnap script can't 
auto-detect the right kernel version on a 419PII)

manual install (to preserve my RAID system on the main disks)
