Bug#593013: installation-reports: No common CD-ROM drive detected

Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Machine: Sun Ultra 10
Partitions: df -Tl will do; the raw partition table is preferred

Comments/Problems:


At the “Detect and mount CD-ROM” stage the installation failed.  
The error message was “No common CD_ROM drive was detected.”  
It suggested loading additional drivers from removable media.  
Actually, in ”/dev”, no IDE or ATAPI devices showed up.  So the Hard disk was 
also not recognized.
The last “testing” build that I was able to install was 07-05-10, which also 
had problems, 
but at least the IDE devices  were detected.

Bug#593054: installation-reports: Inconsistent partition naming during boot

2010-08-15 Thread James B
Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal

Comments/Problems:

linux-image-2.6.32-5-sparc64 was selected for installation.

System would not reboot.  It ended up in openboot at the “ok” prompt.
Last message was “Fast Data Access MMU Miss”
(WOW. This STILL has not been fixed).
I assumed this was the same problem as with the 02-08-2010 build.
The problem was ameliorated then in terms of “fixing” bugs(569719, related = 
565639  562594).
Did so again:
Did rescue into an installer shell within hda2.  
chroot /target
mount /dev/hda1  /boot
silo  -u  -f

Then attempted to reboot.
The boot process could not find “/dev/hda2” for root.  It had been renamed 
“/dev/sda2” in the boot environment.
But it was still /dev/hda2 on the disk.  I changed hda2 to sda2 in 
/boot/silo.conf . This allowed the boot sequence to complete.
Now I am left with disk partitions named sda* instead of hda*.
What is up with this? Are we changing naming conventions?
Will this inconsistency be fixed?
Thanks.
