Package: debian-installer Version: Severity: normal Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? I want to install Debian/testing on a new computer. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I upgraded the PXE installer for testing using di-netboot-assistant, then I tried to install with it. * What was the outcome of this action? I expected the installer to run. * What outcome did you expect instead? The installer failed with the error "vesamenu.c32 is not a COM32R image" (written from memory). When I compare the vesamenu.c32 files in the testing and daily installers with the same files from stable and some Ubuntu version there are some differences: * The working files have a size about 150kB and are "COM executable" * The problematic files have a size of 26kB and are "ELF 32-bit LSB shared object" This is an example of a good file: http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/20140316/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/boot-screens/vesamenu.c32 This is a bad file: http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/20140802/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/boot-screens/vesamenu.c32 Regards, Kim Hansen -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
