I've tested the 20060210 iso, and i had some kernel related problems, the
installer could not load some kernel modules due to a kernel version mismatch,
the installer boot on a 2.6.14 kernel which is not available anymore in testing,
and the iso provides 2.6.15 kernel module udebs.

This causes problems will booting the installer, this also causes some problems
during partitionning step only ext2 filesystem is usable.

I've also tested a 20060208 daily iso which provides both 2.6.14 and 2.6.15
kernel module udebs and the installation went fine.

Regards.

Hello Julien,

I've just learned that the bug which resulted in aptitude being outdated 
in testing has been resolved.

Could you perhaps try again using tomorrow's netinst image?

TIA,
Frans Pop

 Aptitude fails to install because libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.10 and
 libsigc++-2.0-0c2 are not available in testing nor in unstable. And
 tasksel depends on aptitude.

There have been problems with building netinst images which were solved 
yesterday.

Please try again using today's netinst image (dated 29-01-2006).

This sounds like a bug in the kernel packages.
The beta2 release of Debian Installer will use the 2.6.15 kernel and not 
2.6.14. We are currently waiting for hppa porters to update the kernel 
packages used for d-i to 2.6.15.

If you could test whether this problem still exists if you install the 
2.6.15 kernel from unstable on an installed system, that would be great.

I've just tested with a 2.6.15 kernel and it appears the problem is still
present on a 2.6.15 kernel.

I've tested with the latest iso image and aptitude is still not installable. The
libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.10 dependency is still not available and will never be.
Apt 0.6.43.1 provides libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11 so libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.10
comes from an earlier version of apt which isn't on official mirrors anymore.

You are correct. Thanks for testing again as this may be a release blocker 
for the Beta2 release of the installer.

Reason is that latest aptitude is not available for hppa:
aptitude0.4.1-1 Dep-Wait (libcppunit-1.10-2c2a)
cppunit 1.10.2-8Maybe-Failed

This build failure is reported in: http://bugs.debian.org/341675
and looks to be a very structural issue for hppa.

So, this needs to be resolved before hppa will be installable again. Looks 
like the release managers are currently ignoring hppa because of this.

I have added this issue to our page listing current issues in daily D-I 
builds: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstallerToday

Cheers,
FJP

Comments/Problems:

Some comments regarding partitionning:
I notice that xfs filesystem is unusable during installation, i've found
in the log file those lines:
Jan 28 20:55:24 modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting xfs
(/lib/modules/2.6.14-2-parisc/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko): Invalid module
format
Jan 28 20:55:24 kernel: module xfs relocation of symbol freeze_bdev is
out of range (0x3ffeffda in 17 bits)

The critical point is the base-system installation, it fails due to
dependency problems with aptitude and tasksel. 
Aptitude fails to install because libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.10 and
libsigc++-2.0-0c2 are not available in testing nor in unstable. And
tasksel depends on aptitude.
To install, i had to install a sarge system (which also fails on setting
up apt after the base-system installation).
