Comments/Problems:

I have googled around on this, and this problem has been reported by
others who are using relatively new Dells, including Optiplexes and
Dimensions. This has been happening on the Sarge install ISOs (not only
netinst) since I have been trying them for about six weeks. It also
happens with Woody BF24.

As far as installation reports go, it would be nice if there was a mail
address right on the install page to which we could sent without having
to figure out that we need to get subscribed to this mail list.

Bug#228848: want to disable hardware auto detection on bootup

2004-01-21 Thread Florian Effenberger
Package: boot-floppies
Version: current from testing's netinst CD

I want to disable the hardware auto detection on bootup, because it does not
always work reliably. The method with /etc/modules.conf is sometimes better
:)

Hi,

I guess, you mean _after_ the installation is done. I found out that
discover is doing this, and I just removed the link in /etc/rcS.d

The cleaner option would be to deinstall discover.


If you need this prior to the installation, forget my message ...


Hope this helps,
Erich

Hi Eric,

ah, that's good to know, thanks.

It would be good if the installer could ask whether you want autodetection
or not, WHILE and AFTER installation.

Comments/Problems:

BUG: 

The TI CardBus Bridge needs the Yenta Socket driver. The installation system
does not detect this correctly and then inserts the wrong socket driver in
/etc/default/pcmcia (line: PCIC=). This means that after the reboot, the
network does no longer come up automagically and the whole installation
process is hosed.

correct hardware detection with wrong driver association:

  Hi Eric,
  
  It would be good if the installer could ask whether you want autodetection
  or not, WHILE and AFTER installation.
  

Hm, not entirely sure, but booting expert instead of just pressing return
gives you the choice whether to scan for hw or not. There are several
stages of hw detection, and I have not tried to avoid it. But I remember
this question. Try that anyway ... but be warned that the number of
questions increases quite a bit.

boot: expert

bitte bemühen Sie sich es für Kinder Gottes zu nutzen!

2004-01-21 Thread jonesserena
Von: Fr. Serena Jones
 
Bitte bemühen Sie sich es für Kinder Gottes zu nutzen
 
Ich bin die obengenannte Person aus Kuwait.Ich bin mit Dr. Harry Jones, der neun Jahre 
lang für die Kuwaitsche Botschaft gearbeitet hatte, bevor er in 2002 verstarb, 
verheiratet.
Wir waren elf Jahre verheiratet, ohne Kinder. Er erlag einer kurzen Krankheit, die nur 
vier Tage dauerte. Befor er starb, wurden wir als Christen wiedergeboren. Nach seinem 
Tod beschloß ich nicht wieder zu heiraten und keine Kinder außerhalb der Ehe zu 
bekommen, weil die Bibel dagegen ist.
Als mein Ehemann noch am Leben war, hat er die Summe von 8,6 Millionen U.S. Dollar bei 
einer Finanzen/Sicherheit Gesellschaft in Amsterdam/Holland hinterlegt. Im Augenblick 
befindet sich das Geld immer noch da.
Vor kurzem erfuhr ich von meinem Arzt, dass ich die nächsten drei Monate nich 
durchhalten werde, wegen einer Krebskrankheit. 
Was mich am meisten stört ist meine schlagartige Krankheit.
Meinen Zustand kennend, beschloß ich diesen Fonds einer Kirche, oder noch besser, 
einem Christen, der das Geld wie ich es hier beschreibe nutzen wird, zu spenden.
Ich wünsche mir eine Kirche, die diesen Fonds nutzen wird um Kirchen , Weisenhäuser 
und Witwen, die das Wort Gottes verbreiten, zu unterstützen, und sicherstellt, dass 
das Haus Gottes aufrechterhalten wird. Die Bibel gibt uns zu verstehen,dass die Hand 
die gibt
gesegnet ist.

Ich habe mich dazu entschieden weil ich keine Kinder habe, die das Geld erben könnten, 
und die Verwandten meines Ehemannes keine Christen sind und ich möchte nicht, dass das 
hart verdiente Geld meines Mannes von Ungläubigen missbraucht wird. Ich möchte nicht, 
dass dieses Geld auf sündhafter Weise benutzt wird. Deshalb kamm ich zu diesem 
gewagten Entschluß.

Ich habe keine Angst vor dem Tod, weil ich weiß wohin ich gehe, Ich werde im Schoß 
Gottes sein.Exodus 14VS14 sagt, dass der Herr für mein Recht kämpfen wird und  dass 
ich meinen Frieden bewahren soll.

Ich brauche keine telefonische Kommunikation wegen meiner Gesundheit uns weil die 
Verwandten meines Mannes immer bei mir sind.

Ich möchte nicht, dass sie von dieser Entwicklung erfahren. Mit Gott ist alles möglich.

So bald ich Ihre Antwort bekomme werde ich Sie mit der Finanzen/Sicherheit 
Gesellschaft in Amsterdam/Holland in Verbindung setzen. Ich werde auch eine Vollmacht 
für Sie als Begünstigter ausstellen.

Ich möchte, dass Sie und die Kirche immer für mich beten, weil der Herr mein Hirte ist.

Ich bin glücklich das Leben eines würdigem Christens gelebt zu haben. Wenn man Gott 
dienen will muss das im Geiste und Wahrheit sein.

Bitte beten Sie Ihr ganzes Leben.

Jede Verspätung Ihrer Antwort wird mich veranlassen eine Kirche, oder einen Christen, 
für den selben Zweck zu suchen.

Bitte versichern Sie mich, dass Sie wie beschrieben handeln werden. Ich hoffe von 
Ihnen zu hören. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 You can not simply change the kernel with d-i. The d-i image is built
 for a specific kernel because it contains kernel modules. I'm not sure
 if this is related to your problem, though.

Yeah, we need to build a initrd with the -poserpc-small modules.

discover Debian package maintainer

2004-01-21 Thread Gaudenz Steinlin
Hi

The purpose of this mail is to inform discover-workers of the plans the
debian-installer team has for discover2 and to give you the possibility
to object to out plans.

Current state of discover2 in Debian:
I have packaged an udeb only version of discover2 which is in the
archive now. This package has successfully built on all autobuilders
except mips, mipsel and m68k. It is intended for testing discover2 with
the new installer.

Further plans:
I discussed the future of the discover2 package with pere yesterday. We
plan to upload a full version of discover2 (including deb packages). It
is not our intent to hijack your package. However, considering that
there was no packaging effort done in the last months, we are under the
impression, that you are no longer interested in maintaining this
package. So we would like to completely takeover the maintenance of
discover2.
If our impression is wrong and you are still interested in maintaining
discover2 then please speak up now and provide finished packages in the
near future.

If we take over the maintenance of discover2 we plan to do the following
(IRC excerpt):
17:25   pere Currently, we have two packages: discover (building
  discover and discover-udeb), and discover2 (building
  discover2-udeb).  If we change this to discover1 (building
  discover1 and discover-udeb), and discover (building discover
  and discover2-udeb).
17:26   pere then we can test discover (version 2) in Sid, while
  still using discover-udeb (version 1) in d-i.
17:29   pere Besides, the discover version 2 package is slightly
  tested already, and seem to return correct info.

With this plan we can get wider testing for discover2 in sid and still
have discover1 packages as a fall back option and for sarge if it will
be released before discover2 is ready.

Bug#228870: Can't mount partition on hdb as /

2004-01-21 Thread Eugenia Franzoni
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20040120

I downloaded the Sarge Net installer from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/20040120/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
The computer I tried it on has 2 disks (hda and hdb). I tried the
installationon hdb. The partitioning went ok, the disk is recognized as
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc (QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM2110A)

- note: it is an old HD on a new controller (VIA
VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C)
So disk partitioning went ok. The partition table I created is:

part1 Linux Swap
part2 Linux (bootable)

The problem is that these partitions (either of them) are not included in the
list of the partition in the configure and mount partitions step, so I
can't use them for the installation.

Accessing them manually (i.e. mkswap on the first partition and mke2fs on
the second, via the console in F2) was successful. Even after creating
the filesystem, the partitions are not listed in configure and mount
partitions

Comments/Problems:

* first small problem : for a correct network install, we must now use
  devfs (instead of beta1), so I have to use following options to the
  d-i kernel :
  ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram0 devfs=mount
  [ + DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium if needed ]

  [ the message linked in the documentation

http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/doc/INSTALLATION-HOWTO
   don't mention this ]


* I've tried 2 installations :

  * basic installation :
- The installation works fine. I used a USB keyboard, and it works fine.
  When I rebooted to do final install (base-config), the keyboard
  wasn't recognized : please load following modules (perhaps it's not
  exactly part of debian-installer, but it sucks !) :
hid
keybdev
mousedev
  [ in initrd or in /etc/modules ...]
- During the hardware detection, I got a (false) error about
  network card detection, because my motherboard has 2 same
  ethernet controllers (Intel EEPRO 100) : the automatic network detection
  program tried to 'insmod' e100 module 2 times, the second gives
  an error (but harmless).

  * more precise installation with DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium :
I used GRUB instead of LILO (works neat).
The installation worked fine.
After reboot :
- no USB keyboard (same remark as before).
- the network card wasn't configured (by DHCP), whereas in basic
  installation it did ! logging in a console and doing 'dhclient eth0'
  resolved the problem, but it was quite mysterious at first glance...

Aside these small things, it works great, good work !

Yes, it's the tool named ntfsresize that the original poster was

   But is not in any way related to the libntfs library ?
  
  Package: ntfstools
  Source: linux-ntfs
  Version: 1.8.0-2
  Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libntfs5 (= 1.8.0)
  
  I haven't looked at the source to know which pieces are exposed through
  the library or not.
 
 I say this, because on the parted mailing list, less than a week ago, it
 was claimed that libntfs didn't support resizing.
 
 Still, i wonder what the use of many outside library would mean to
 libparted and its use in debian-installer, where size matters.

libntfs doesn't support resizing at present, that is correct.

However, ntfsresize uses functionality from libntfs and cannot work without it.

Hope this clears up any confusion.  (-:

 have discover1 packages as a fall back option and for sarge if it will
 be released before discover2 is ready.

Would it bother you guys terribly to do this as a pre-approved NMU?  We
can merge the changes back into our SVN repo.

Once LinuxWorld is off our plate, let's see if we can't keep pace with
your needs vis a vis Discover 2, and re-evaluate the maintainership

Does that sound reasonable?  Your plan sounds good to me, and like what
was already discussed, so it doesn't sound very disruptive to previous
expectations.

Could you please also provide the output of lspci -n so we can see if
your PCMCIA problem is because of wrong pci ids in discover-data.
 

 Thoughts: Even if I don't want an expert install, I would like to be asked
 if I have network, or if I want to install network at all.
The problem with this is, that even though you don't need a network to
complete the first stage of the d-i install, you need a network setup to
complete your install to a usable system. Only the base packages (those
required to get a minimal booting system) are included on the CD. All
other packages you need for a really usefull system have to be
downloaded from a debian mirror. 
Ideal the network configuration would be in base-config, but we don't
have a network configuration there yet, so it's the second best option
to configure it in d-i.
 
 I would also like to be able to set the debconf question level before
 configuring all the packages.
You mean to select another level than you used for the first stage? You
can set the level for d-i with the expert boot option.
 
 After installation the PCMCIA subsystem did not work. During installation
 everything was loaded, but it seems that the installer forgot to include
 yenta_socket into the list of modules to be loaded before trying the other
 PCMCIA modules.

I guess this is a problem with the discover hardware data listing the
wrong module for your CardBus bridge. The lspci -n output will help to
confirm this.

  Hi
  
  The purpose of this mail is to inform discover-workers of the plans the
  debian-installer team has for discover2 and to give you the possibility
  to object to out plans.
 
 Okay.
 
  Current state of discover2 in Debian: I have packaged an udeb only
  version of discover2 which is in the archive now. This package has
  successfully built on all autobuilders except mips, mipsel and m68k.
  It is intended for testing discover2 with the new installer.
 
 Glad to hear it.  Be sure and lean on those m* guys.  :)
 
  Further plans:
  I discussed the future of the discover2 package with pere yesterday. We
  plan to upload a full version of discover2 (including deb packages). It
  is not our intent to hijack your package. However, considering that
  there was no packaging effort done in the last months, we are under the
  impression, that you are no longer interested in maintaining this
  package. So we would like to completely takeover the maintenance of
  discover2.
  If our impression is wrong and you are still interested in maintaining
  discover2 then please speak up now and provide finished packages in the
  near future.
 
 It is not true that we are no longer interested; however, it is the case
 that at present Progeny has more urgent priorities occupying its
 technical staff.  You might have noticed that LinuxWorld is this week.
 :)
 
 Also, I should let you know that I'm no longer the primary POC for
 Discover; this responsibility has been transferred to Jeff Licquia
 [EMAIL PROTECTED].  Nevertheless I remain very interested in the
 project, as I've been involved from the beginning.
I did not know whom to personally contact. So I decided to send this
mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the hope that
the relevant people at progeny receive it.
 
  If we take over the maintenance of discover2 we plan to do the following
  (IRC excerpt):
  17:25   pere Currently, we have two packages: discover (building
discover and discover-udeb), and discover2 (building
discover2-udeb).  If we change this to discover1 (building
discover1 and discover-udeb), and discover (building discover
and discover2-udeb).
  17:26   pere then we can test discover (version 2) in Sid, while
still using discover-udeb (version 1) in d-i.
  17:29   pere Besides, the discover version 2 package is slightly
tested already, and seem to return correct info.
  
  With this plan we can get wider testing for discover2 in sid and still
  have discover1 packages as a fall back option and for sarge if it will
  be released before discover2 is ready.
 
 Would it bother you guys terribly to do this as a pre-approved NMU?  We
 can merge the changes back into our SVN repo.
I would be glad if this is merged back to your SVN repo. Is it possible
to arrange write access to it or do you want to merge the changes back
yourself?
The sources should always be available in the Debian archive, but we can
provide patches if you like. 
 
 Once LinuxWorld is off our plate, let's see if we can't keep pace with
 your needs vis a vis Discover 2, and re-evaluate the maintainership
 issue in 4 weeks or so.
 
 Does that sound reasonable?  Your plan sounds good to me, and like what

Yes this is OK and reasonable. I just wanted to make sure that this
upload is approved by progeny. I have put [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the
maintainer field of the udeb-only upload. Should this stay as it is atm
or should I put [EMAIL PROTECTED] there?

And one last question: To make the package build on non-i386 archs I had
to copy the kernel pcmcia headers into the package source. I have done
this in a sperate directory for now, but the most clean solution seem to
me to have them in the same directory as the discover pcmcia stuff as
normal non-system headers. Would you accept a patch for that?

 If it was really operational, then you would have been presented with a
 list of interfaces. This could be either a bug in netcfg or the
 interface is not listed in /proc/net/dev and probably not operational.
 Please send us the content of /proc/net/dev at this stage.

I'll see about doing that tonight, it did show up as eth1 in ifconfig
though.  It's a wireless card though, I don't know if that has some
impact on this.

  - bash on con2, for whatever reason, stops responding if you hit
'alt-1' by accident (like when going for alt-f1 to get back to
the installation), this is *very* annoying since you have to
restart the install to get a shell to work in, it'd be nice to
have a way to forcibly reset the shell or bring up another one
or something
 The shell is busybox ash. This is probably either a kernel bug or a bug
 in the busybox shell. Don't know more about that, sorry.

It's really annoying. :)  I'm working around it though.  It's still be
nice if there was a way to kill/restart the shell on that console
somehow though, or start up another shell on another console.

  - Every other step it appears to 'detect hardware' or whatever,
what's with that?  I don't have a floppy on the machine but
every time it takes a few seconds to try and load it.
 The hardware detection is a bit hackish atm. I don't know of a good way
 to detect a floppy drive other than trying to load the module. We should
 optimize the code to only try this once.

Right, do it once and cache the info, don't redo it every time, that's
silly.

  Now, the big problems:
  - discover just hung for a *long* time (30 minutes), it was
called with 'modules-detect all', iirc.  This was in the
postinst of discover after the 'base system' had been
installed and it was installing 'extra components', iirc.
I didn't see any kernel oops or anything abnormal, and I was
able to kill discover off (though it just restarted and got
stuck at the same place).  Eventually I just hacked up the
postinst to act like it didn't find anything (MODULES=).
This got me through the rest of the install and to reboot.
 Do you know which module it tried to load when it hung? I have never
 seen that before, but the most probably explanation seems that it tries
 to load a kernel module which hangs.

I tend to agree, but I have no idea which module it was trying to load..
Does it log which module it's trying to load something?  It really
should, if it doesn't...  Then you could just flip to con-3 or whatever
one is the tail -f and see.

  - On boot, everything looked alright except after saying
something like 'lp0: detected blah blah' nothing else showed
up.  It looked to have just hung at that point.  Maybe it
was trying to load up some framebuffer or maybe X is supposted
to start at that point?  I dunno, but I couldn't do anything,
none of the other consoles appeared to be up or anything.  I
recall being warned that there might be a problem with the
current X in Debian and the graphics card in my laptop (ATI
Radeon IGP 345M 64MB (shared)), though 4.3 (released *how*
long ago?) supports it.  Don't know if that's a problem here
or not.
 Probably the same discover bug.

Yeah, I did find out though that I can ctrl-c and it dropped through and
I finished the install and the system appears to be operational, though
I can't seem to find drivers for the installed kernel for my wireless
card (even though I know it showed up as eth1 in the boot system, and I
think I recognized the module in the install, I'll have to check that
again).

 I downloaded the Sarge Net installer from

 The computer I tried it on has 2 disks (hda and hdb). I tried the
 installationon hdb. The partitioning went ok, the disk is recognized as
 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc (QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM2110A)

 - note: it is an old HD on a new controller (VIA
 VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C)
 So disk partitioning went ok. The partition table I created is:

 part1 Linux Swap
 part2 Linux (bootable)

 The problem is that these partitions (either of them) are not included in the
 list of the partition in the configure and mount partitions step, so I
 can't use them for the installation.

 Accessing them manually (i.e. mkswap on the first partition and mke2fs on
 the second, via the console in F2) was successful. Even after creating
 the filesystem, the partitions are not listed in configure and mount
 partitions

Do these partitions overlap in the partition table?  Is this a BSD
disklabel-using disk (probably not) that has a partition overlapping the
beginning of the disk?

I've found that libparted is very particular about only working with
properly defined partitions.

 info: /bin/report-hw: discover: i82365;;;Texas Instruments;PCI1450;
snip/
 SUGGESTIONS: 
 
 Give the option to select a keyboard with UK layout at the installation.
 It's marginally different from the US layout, but the differences are
 tiresome enough.
 
 Would it be possible to make the machine boot into a VESA console with more
 than 80x25, if supported by the hardware? If necessary, ask the user, what
 (s)he wants in an expert mode.
 
 Improve the bug-tracking system in such a manner that it finds the
 pesudo-header Package: installation-reports even if it should happen not
 to be the first line of the message body. Better idea: Make that @%$#! thing 
 a true header: X-Packages: installation reports. Best idea: accept both.

Please report it as separate (wishlist) bugs.
 
 
 
 Yours,  Wolfgang

 Does it log which module it's trying to load something?  It really
 should, if it doesn't...  Then you could just flip to con-3 or whatever
 one is the tail -f and see.
The one thing that seems strange to me is, that discover does not hang
if it is called from d-i. It only hangs if the postinst of the package
installed to /target is run. You can see which module it tries to load
in /var/lib/discover/crash respectively /target/var/lib/discover/crash
during the install.

Bug#228870: Can't mount partition on hdb as /

2004-01-21 Thread Eugenia Franzoni
 Accessing them manually (i.e. mkswap on the first partition and mke2fs
 on the second, via the console in F2) was successful. Even after
 creating the filesystem, the partitions are not listed in configure
 and mount partitions

 Do these partitions overlap in the partition table?  Is this a BSD
 disklabel-using disk (probably not) that has a partition overlapping
 the beginning of the disk?

well, no. I created them during the installation, before it was just
one large partition where I had installed debian (years ago).
Checked, no BSD partition, the cylinders do not overlap (part1 begins
at 1 and ends at 496, part2 begins at 497 and ends at the end of
the disk).

The only unusual thing about this disk is that it's an old one on a new
controller - the disk is a 2.1 GB Quantum Fireball I took out of my old
Pentium I and the controller is a new one (on an Asus K7VTA-B I already
used with other disks). Mke2fs worked anyway, and the partition can
be mounted manually without problems, so the disk is detected and
working ok. It just doesn't show in the list :)

  Would it bother you guys terribly to do this as a pre-approved NMU?  We
  can merge the changes back into our SVN repo.

 I would be glad if this is merged back to your SVN repo. Is it possible
 to arrange write access to it or do you want to merge the changes back
 yourself?

I think our company policy is to manage such things ourselves.

 The sources should always be available in the Debian archive, but we can
 provide patches if you like. 

Patches would be ideal.  They're easy to merge. :)

  Once LinuxWorld is off our plate, let's see if we can't keep pace with
  your needs vis a vis Discover 2, and re-evaluate the maintainership
  issue in 4 weeks or so.
  
  Does that sound reasonable?  Your plan sounds good to me, and like what
  was already discussed, so it doesn't sound very disruptive to previous
  expectations.

 Yes this is OK and reasonable. I just wanted to make sure that this
 upload is approved by progeny. I have put [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the
 maintainer field of the udeb-only upload. Should this stay as it is atm
 or should I put [EMAIL PROTECTED] there?

I suggest changing it to [EMAIL PROTECTED].

 And one last question: To make the package build on non-i386 archs I had
 to copy the kernel pcmcia headers into the package source. I have done
 this in a sperate directory for now, but the most clean solution seem to
 me to have them in the same directory as the discover pcmcia stuff as
 normal non-system headers. Would you accept a patch for that?

I'd like to get some other opinions on this.  Eric, are you still

linux-kernel-di and powerpc-small

2004-01-21 Thread Jeremie Koenig
Here is a small patch to linux-kernel-di, to build powerpc-small udebs.
Joey, can you commit this and use it in your next upload ? Any idea
about when it'll be ?

(it's trivial, but since the test cycle is quite long i thought it might
help you anyway)

And by the way, modules/powerpc/nic-modules-* should be renamed to
nic-*-modules, or they won't get built.

 So, there is NTFS resizing user space tool ? Anything that is 
 packaged
 in debian and we can use in d-i ?
  
Yes, it's the tool named ntfsresize that the original poster was
referring to, and it's found in the ntfstools package.
  
   But is not in any way related to the libntfs library ?
  
  Package: ntfstools
  Source: linux-ntfs
  Version: 1.8.0-2
  Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libntfs5 (= 1.8.0)
  
  I haven't looked at the source to know which pieces are exposed through
  the library or not.
 
 I say this, because on the parted mailing list, less than a week ago, it
 was claimed that libntfs didn't support resizing.
 
 Still, i wonder what the use of many outside library would mean to
 libparted and its use in debian-installer, where size matters.

libntfs doesn't support resizing at present, that is correct.

However, ntfsresize uses functionality from libntfs and cannot work without it.
   
   Any chance of the resizing fucntionality of ntfsresize making it to
   libntfs ?
  
  Yes, of course, but that (at least to me) is very low priority so don't
  expect it anytime soon...  Sorry...
 
 Well, first, i have no intention to do so myself too, but it would be
 nice if you could give us an estimation of the work needed to move the
 resize code to libntfs ? I think some libparted guys where also
 interested by this.

I am afraid I have no idea as I haven't really looked at the ntfsresize
code.  I am CC:-ing Szaka who wrote and maintains ntfsresize in the hope
that he will comments.

 It's really annoying. :)  I'm working around it though.  It's still be

Can you rund discover --module all and see if this hangs?

Bug#228839: Should re-ask the debconf-priority question at the end of base-config

2004-01-21 Thread Gaudenz Steinlin
Am Mit, den 21.01.2004 schrieb Christian Perrier um 06:30:
 Package: base-config
 Version: 2.08
 Severity: normal
 
 When debian-installer, for some reason, went into a problem, the debconf
 priority is automatically lowered from high to medium.
 
 This setting remains after base-config runs and thus the user is presented
 with a big bunch of questions during the packages installation process which
 follows.
 
 I suggest adding a debconf priority setting item to the base-config menu,
 designed for being run at the end of the process, with the default value
 reset to high.
I don't quite understand your proposal, but I think the best fix for
this issue would be to not set the cdebconf priority at the end of the
install in base-config but to set it to the initial cdebconf priority.
Like that installs in expert mode in d-i would have expert mode
questions in base-config and normal installs would run base-config at
high.

At the end of base-config there could be a debconf priority question at
priority medium. That way experts can choose if the still want to be
experts or if the want to continue at medium or high. Was that your
proposal?

I tend to agree, but I have no idea which module it was trying to load..
Does it log which module it's trying to load something?  It really
should, if it doesn't...  Then you could just flip to con-3 or whatever
one is the tail -f and see.
   The one thing that seems strange to me is, that discover does not hang
   if it is called from d-i. It only hangs if the postinst of the package
   installed to /target is run. You can see which module it tries to load
   in /var/lib/discover/crash respectively /target/var/lib/discover/crash
   during the install.
  
  I checked, and those files didn't exist (first thing I did before I
  modified the postinst script).  Kind of odd, I guess..
 Do you have an idea where else in the startup script it could hang? Does
 it print the list of detected modules after Detecting hardware: ? 
 Can you rund discover --module all and see if this hangs?

I'm not at the machine atm, I can try this later, but what happened is
this:

---
Setting up discover...
Startup links already created...

Detecting hardware: 
---

And that's where it hung, didn't say anything after that.  Over on the
console I did a ps auwx and saw 'discover --module all' in the process
list.  I think I tried to put 'all' in the 'skip' list next, but that
didn't work ether, so I just hacked the postinst and set MODULES=. And
commented out the discover --module all run (iirc).

This looks like discover is hanging when detecting the hardware not when

The all does not mean all modules but all types of devices. You can
modify /etc/discover.conf to see which type of device causes it to hang.

The way it works right now is the cdebconf priority is saved at the end

 At the end of base-config there could be a debconf priority question at

 cough  The best method I've found so far is to switch to console #2 as

 probe all the modules in order, but at least it will let you specify
 options to insmod that will break the attempt to load it (pain...).

I'm thinking about adding a medium priority multiselect question to

What if base-config re-asks the question about debconf priority *at*
medium priority, with the default value set to high?  This means that
users who used the normal priority setting (high) in the installer just
get behind-the-scenes confirmation of this setting, and users who ran
the installer in expert mode, or who had a failure that reset the
debconf priority, get the chance to reconfirm whether this is a

Bug#228654: installation-reports: ide-detect lockup on Alpha PWS500a

2004-01-21 Thread John Lightsey
Just tried the newest installer daily build (with 2.4.24 kernel) and it gets 
through the ide-detect portion without any trouble.  I can do everything 
other than bringing up the network interface.  The only other trouble I 
noticed is that the aboot.conf that is generated doesn't point to the proper 
location of my root filesystem.  The installer kept going back to the 
configure network option even though I couldn't bring the network up, so it 
may be a case where I did something out of order.  I did not repartition.  I 
did reformat my old partitions with the root as the A partition.

Anyway, my original problem is fixed.  As far as the nic problem goes, it's 
something that will have to be fixed in the kernel.  This thread is 
illuminating:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2004/debian-alpha-200401/msg00052.html

Hopefully a working 2.6 or 2.4 kernel will be released before Sarge is.

I don't know how prebaseconfig can get at anything except the current

  Do these partitions overlap in the partition table?  Is this a BSD
  disklabel-using disk (probably not) that has a partition overlapping
  the beginning of the disk?

 well, no. I created them during the installation, before it was just
 one large partition where I had installed debian (years ago).
 Checked, no BSD partition, the cylinders do not overlap (part1 begins
 at 1 and ends at 496, part2 begins at 497 and ends at the end of
 the disk).

 The only unusual thing about this disk is that it's an old one on a new
 controller - the disk is a 2.1 GB Quantum Fireball I took out of my old
 Pentium I and the controller is a new one (on an Asus K7VTA-B I already
 used with other disks). Mke2fs worked anyway, and the partition can
 be mounted manually without problems, so the disk is detected and
 working ok. It just doesn't show in the list :)

Ok, then I think this is a bug that needs to be assigned to libparted,
as that's the package which provides the code for partition detection
used to generate the partition list.

m68k d-i Port Status: Jan. 21

2004-01-21 Thread Stephen R Marenka
I'm crossposting to debian-68k, but please let's follow up on
debian-boot.

All my m68k testing is with a mac, but I'm trying to make sure all the
other subarchs are properly supported also. I'm also trying to keep the
2.2.x hacks arch-independent.

The only real ugly hack I'm using to support a 2.2.x kernel is that I
configure the kernel to handle a 40MB ram disk, since we don't have
tmpfs/shmfs. Then I skip all the pivot_root stuff and start downloading
right to the ramdisk. So far it seems to work. If you know this is going
to fail at some point, please let me know now.

I can get all the way through partitioning a disk without errors!
Unfortunately, after that partconf brings up a blank list the correct
number of partitions long. Obviously, I know what to work on next. 

All my hacks are now committed and I'm building against cvs to make sure
I haven't missed anything. All the udebs I've modified for m68k are at
http://marenka.net/~smarenka/di/udebs/.

I'm putting daily builds of the initrd for netboot and cdrom at
http://marenka.net/~smarenka/di/. There is a mac kernel there as well.
If you look right now, you won't see any because I changed how I handled
init and didn't want to deal with it. I plan to run a fresh build as soon
as I'm done updating udebs.

I recommend using those directly for a 2.4 kernel. I copy those, well
usually netboot, to a 30MB image for 2.2 testing. That's what the wkg30*
images are about.

It looks like base install comes after mounting partitions, so I think
we're getting pretty close. Indeed, I suspect someone running a 2.4
kernel could do a full install.

We also need to decide if we're going to supply a tarball like bf did
for amiga, atari, and mac. If no ones says anything else, that's
probably where I'll go. We also need to figure out how to make bootable
media for those subarchs that support it. All the code is in bf, so it's
just a matter of tracking it down.

Well, that's about enough for now.

Stephen

Thans for working that out, I've applied it to cvs, but the upload will

 Looks like this would also allow the i386 xfs kernel to look like this
 in kernel-versions:
 
 i386  2.4.22  xfs ...
 
 And use the modules/i386-xfs directory. Steve?

Er, no it won't. I suppose the flavor could be 386-xfs though.

Bug#228654: installation-reports: ide-detect lockup on Alpha PWS500a

2004-01-21 Thread Steve Langasek
Hi John,

On Wed, Jan 21, 2004 at 01:30:06PM -0600, John Lightsey wrote:
 Just tried the newest installer daily build (with 2.4.24 kernel) and it gets 
 through the ide-detect portion without any trouble.  I can do everything 
 other than bringing up the network interface.  The only other trouble I 
 noticed is that the aboot.conf that is generated doesn't point to the proper 
 location of my root filesystem.  The installer kept going back to the 
 configure network option even though I couldn't bring the network up, so it 
 may be a case where I did something out of order.  I did not repartition.  I 
 did reformat my old partitions with the root as the A partition.

Can you provide more details regarding what your aboot.conf looks like
after installing, what you believe it should look like, and the contents
of your partition tables?

I was proud of that bit of code in aboot-installer, so if it has bugs,
I'd like to get them fixed. ;)

The configure network glitch you're seeing has to do with this being a
*net*inst image: it really, really, really wants you to have a network,
because it knows you're not booting from a full CD. :)

 Anyway, my original problem is fixed.  As far as the nic problem goes, it's 
 something that will have to be fixed in the kernel.  This thread is 
 illuminating:

 http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2004/debian-alpha-200401/msg00052.html

Does this mean you have one of the P1SE/P2SE integrated cards, or
something similar that results in the use of a PCI bridge on your
system?

 Hopefully a working 2.6 or 2.4 kernel will be released before Sarge is.

Yes, the general state of alpha support in the late 2.4-series kernels
seems quite dismal. :/

The mac one looks like this:

where Penguin is the bootloader.

Bug#228654: installation-reports: ide-detect lockup on Alpha PWS500a

2004-01-21 Thread John Lightsey
  The only other
  trouble I noticed is that the aboot.conf that is generated doesn't point
  to the proper location of my root filesystem.  The installer kept going
  back to the configure network option even though I couldn't bring the
  network up, so it may be a case where I did something out of order.  I
  did not repartition.  I did reformat my old partitions with the root as
  the A partition.

 Can you provide more details regarding what your aboot.conf looks like
 after installing, what you believe it should look like, and the contents
 of your partition tables?

 I was proud of that bit of code in aboot-installer, so if it has bugs,
 I'd like to get them fixed. ;)

 The configure network glitch you're seeing has to do with this being a
 *net*inst image: it really, really, really wants you to have a network,
 because it knows you're not booting from a full CD. :)


Makes sense.

I'll go through the install again and note exactly what I'm doing and what 
aboot.conf ends up looking like

Boot from SRM (boot dkb100 -flags 0)

Select american-english as the language

IDE auto detection takes place

(somewhere between this step and the next one tty2 shows modprobe: failed to 
load ide-disk.  It's before isofs is loaded.)

Sometimes it will prompt me saying that the cdrom wasn't detected, sometimes 
it doesn't.  It takes the 2.4.24-generic kernel a minute or so to figure out 
that DMA isn't going to work.

Module needed by your ethernet card:
only option presented is none of the above

At this point I start skipping ahead because I know my network card isn't 
going to work.

Load installer components.
Select the cd loader
Select choose-mirror

Again, module needed by your ethernet card:
only option presented is none of the above

My harddrives are already partitioned like this:
/dev/hda1 ext2
/dev/hda2 swap
/dev/hdb1 ext2

HDA is partitioned in BSD disklabel format (hda1 is A:)
HDB is partitioned in the standard way.

Configure and mount partitions
(switching to tty2 shows ext3, reiserfs, jfs and xfs modules failing to load.)
IDE1 master, part. 1  - ext2 - /
IDE1 master, part. 2 - swap -swap
IDE2 master, part. 1 - ext2 - /home

I tell it to format all of them, hit finish and yes at the warning screen.
tty2 shows them being formatted and mounted
Again module needed by your ethernet card:
and again none of the above

Install the base system
everything goes fine.
Again module needed by your ethernet card: 
and again none of the above.

Install the kernel.
I select 2.4-generic.
This spends a lot of time at 60% then goes back to the Module needed by your 
ethernet card:  I again pick none of the above.

Finish the installation and reboot.
cd pops out.
hit continue to reboot.

I have to cycle the power to keep SRM from loading off the cdrom again.

 boot dka0 -flags 0

aboot: valid disklabel found: 2 partitions
aboot: invalid partition 3
aboot: mount of partition 3 failed

Now I get an aboot prompt.

aboot boot vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/initrd.img

System boots up with a few DMA timeouts along the way.

Base-config runs without any trouble (don't have a network connection though.)
The only oddity is that when I configure exim for local delivery only it 
asks for a system mail name and an IP address to listen on but does not ask 
who I want root's mail delivered to.

alpha:~# cat /etc/aboot.conf
#
# aboot default configurations
#
0:3/vmlinux.gz ro root=/dev/sda2
1:3/vmlinux.old.gz ro root=/dev/sda2
2:3/vmlinux.new.gz ro root=/dev/sda2
3:3/vmlinux ro root=/dev/sda2
8:- ro root=/dev/sda2# fs less boot of raw kernel
9:0/- ro root=/dev/sda2 # fs less boot of (compressed) ECOFF kernel
-
alpha:~#

what it needs to be is:

0:1/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/initrd.img

  Anyway, my original problem is fixed.  As far as the nic problem goes,
  it's something that will have to be fixed in the kernel.  This thread is
  illuminating:
 
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2004/debian-alpha-200401/msg00052.ht
 ml

 Does this mean you have one of the P1SE/P2SE integrated cards, or
 something similar that results in the use of a PCI bridge on your
 system?


The integrated network card is definitely taking across a PCI bridge.  
Anything I plug into the PCI slots also seems to be taking across the PCI 
bridge.  That thread describes exactly the sort of trouble I've been having 
with 2.4 kernels.  It's not limited to network cards.  They are just the most 
visibly broken.  The 2.2.22 kernel in Woody works flawlessly.  If there was a 
2.2 kernel in Unstable I'd have no problems at all.

  Hopefully a working 2.6 or 2.4 kernel will be released before Sarge is.

 Yes, the general state of alpha support in the late 2.4-series kernels
 seems quite dismal. :/

 Regards,

Thanks for your time..

John

Re: libntfs for Parted new feature

2004-01-21 Thread Szakacsits Szabolcs

Hello Everybody,

On Wed, 21 Jan 2004, Bluefuture wrote:

 Flatcap (ntfs tools developer) is working on migrating the ntfs tools
 (including ntfsresize) to a usable library:

Great news! :) 

However, are you working on ntfsresize right now? Unfortunately I'm afraid
it would be a waste of time. The latest version, capable of relocating
anything, is pretty different -- and it seems it's quite stable also, no
bugs found during the last two months alpha/beta testing.

If it's needed right now, I commit it to the devel tree immediately.

I still have 30+ minor issues to work on in the near(?) future, some of
them is also needed if one wants to move the code to libntfs, e.g. getting
rid of the 2 global variables, replace many safe exit() points to
functions without losing potentially useful info in error conditions, etc.

Current ntfsresize priorities/plan (subject to change any time :)

1. getting out a public beta

2. writing/creating more test scripts, cases for the reason adding
   support for some rare resize scenarios left.

3. some minor, premature optimizations needed thus some of the
   extensive test scripts will be able to finish in a reasonable 
   time. BTW, if one knows a fast and stable versioning filesystem 
   for Linux, please let me know.

4. go on with the 30+ enhancements left.

5. help Parted integration _if_ I find Parted is back alive (aka
   make sense).

Cheers,
Szaka

Re: Translations and changelogs

 But the changelog file tells uploaders when a new revision is due.
 If it is empty, uploaders will have to run this script to know whether
 they should upload a new version.

Yes, this sure is a point. Other point is however, to eliminate possible
error source which is to enable translators to update the changelog, which
can be often forgotten. 

 Moreover PO files may be changed without modification of PO-Revision-Date,
 so this does not seem to be robust.

They _may_ be changed without updating the revision date, but shouldn't
be. The only case when the PO-Revision-Date is not changed and which is
 ok this way is when the .po-files get msgmerged with updated templates. 

So, do you say hereby, that this functionality is not needed at all?
