Bug#871569: installation-reports: offline machine, install from ISO images -- use case feels neglected

inds me of physical copies of Steam games ...) It's possible that sets of fixed-size images aren't the right approach for today, maybe a few boot images plus signed "mirror dumps" in various sizes are the way to go, but in any case I believe that (mostly) offline systems should st

good work! Regards, Christian P.S.: Should I file an installation-report? On the successful attempt (there's #780164 already) or for the failed ones? In the latter case, how do I do that? 2016-03-20 12:58 GMT+01:00 Christian Pernegger <perneg...@gmail.com>: > Hello, > > I fi

No success with btrfs root on armhf

Hello, I finally got back to playing around with the Olimex A20-OLinuXIno-LIME2. 1st try: d-i stretch a5 hdmedia w/ matching netinst iso ==> fails, because the installer doesn't manage to untangle the deps on upgrading ifupdown and systemd. apt-get -f install in /target works but re-running the

Re: partman chokes on partitionable md arrays

[Sorry for taking so long to respond, your reply had landed in my spam bucket. CC'ed to the mdadm maintainer, who might be interested.] Looks like you're trying to do something that is just not supported. In general the installer does not support direct partitioning of a software raid device.

Bug#377504: installation-report: problem pick'n'mix, mostly RAID-related

Hi, thanks for the quick and detailed answer. Installation and installed system are basically two different things. If you want a different priority from the default, just run 'dpkg-reconfigure debconf'. With all due respect, I don't really agree - the installed system is the result of the

partman chokes on partitionable md arrays

[Please CC me, I am not subscribed.] Hi list! I just tried to install etch to RAID1 using a debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso from a few days ago. For various reasons I would have liked to use a partitionable md array (/dev/md_d*). Creating the array (on the commandline) worked great. However

Bug#352750: Success on third try, minor glitches

Ok, so I tried a third time, redownloading the image (debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso / 14-Feb-2006 01:10 / 89M). This time I checked not only the image's MD5 but that of the burned data as well, just to be sure. Also I dded a few MB of zeros over the start of the target disk. For whatever

Bug#249049: INSTALL REPORT

The grub-installer is quite confused about hdc being the first BIOS disk, but that is to be expected I guess. I don't think having hc as the first disk is that uncommon, so we should try to make this work. What problems did you encounter exactly? Onboard PATA controller: Primary master == hda:
