Bug#520711: installation-reports: The squeeze netinst doesn't find archive

Please don't waste too much time on them. The amd64 images will probably be fixed today or tomorrow, but for powerpc there has not been a successful daily build since the end of January. If you want something that works, please just use the Lenny images. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#520711: installation-reports: The squeeze netinst doesn't find archive
If it helps any, I tried the same thing on an amd64 machine, with the following results (manually typed from the -F4 screen): kernel: wget: segfault at ... error 7 in libresolv-2.9.so after trying "wget http://www.amazon.com/"; but if I try "wget http://72.21.207.65/"; (that's the numeric IP address that corresponds to www.amazon.com) it successfully retrieves an "index.html" file, and there is no error message in the -F4 screen. Can we conclude that there is at least one bug in the libresolv-2.9 library module that's included in the squeeze d-i initrd. What does that tell us about which package the bug belongs to? Thanks!

Please take a look on the syslog of the installer and if possible attach it to this bug report (please, gzip it). Isn't the wget segfault mentioned by Rick enough to explain the problem? I was interested to check if we had any kernel trace on syslog or something like that. Two thoughts: 1) Is there some debugging parameter you'd like me to set so that it gives more information? I have a spare machine I can use for testing this, so I can give good turnaround on test-cases. 2) Since this bug renders the install CDs (certainly "buisnesscard", and for most practical purposes "netinst") completely unusable for their intended purpose, can we raise the severity of this bug to (e.g.) "Serious"?

Please take a look on the syslog of the installer and if possible attach it to this bug report (please, gzip it). The syslog file of a failed install has been sent to the 520711 bug report. I glanced at it, but I'm not a d-i guru (just a [usually] happy user). The only thing I noticed was a few occurrences of Mar 25 03:36:30 main-menu[695]: DEBUG: resolver (libc6-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored) Mar 25 03:36:30 main-menu[695]: DEBUG: resolver (libc6): package doesn't exist (ignored) But they are probably harmless because they were followed eventually by Mar 25 03:36:36 anna[3512]: DEBUG: retrieving libc6-udeb 2.9-4 so something else will be needed to explain the seg-fault in wget. This particular installation attempt was done on a network that did have DHCP, so the syslog shows it succeeding -- no manual network configuration was required. From this I assume I can deduce that the network was up and working, so it's not a matter of having the wrong (or no) network driver... Hope it helps... Rick PS: I assume that Otavio and Alexander are subscribed to the PowerPC list or the 520711 bug report (or both) so I've trimmed them off the CC list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#520711: installation-reports: The squeeze netinst doesn't find archive
I just tried the PowerPC squeeze businesscard install disk, with the same results. The CD was downloaded from the URL: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/testing/arch-latest/powerpc/iso-cd/ The boilerplate on that directory says: Daily build #3 for powerpc, using installer build from squeeze These images will install the testing version of Debian, currently Squeeze. See the top-level daily directory for more information about the daily builds. This build finished at Tue Mar 24 15:56:34 UTC 2009. The CD booted fine, it ran thru the normal process of picking a language and keyboard type, loading modules, etc then tried to DHCP a network address. This failed because there's no DHCP server on that network. I manually configured the network numbers, and it got its name from the DNS server (so I didn't fat-finger the network configuration) Then it was time to configure a mirror, and I chose the default: ftp.us.debian.org . This resulted in the "Bad archive mirror" error. When I switch to the -F2 console and try to do a "wget", I get a segmentation fault. I tried the PowerPC netinst install CD from the same directory, with the same results. Hope this helps to analyze the bug...
