2004-04-24 Thread Burkhard Dunkel
Hello all,

I've many problems with the new linux26 kernel and the debian installer
image from 23.04.04. My Asus P4C800-E Deluxe mainboard
with integrated Promise Sata Controller is found, but there are problems
with irq 18.

I want to export the syslog, but I'm not able to mount the floppy by hand.

mount /dev/floppy /floppy ???

Thank you for your help.


Kind regards,

Bug#245632: Installation report, Poweredge 750 with Adaptec AACRAID

2004-04-24 Thread Julien BLACHE
Package: installation-reports

Debian-installer-version: Beta3 netinst (20040405)
uname -a: installer kernel 2.4.25, installed 2.4.25-686
Date: 20040423
Method:
 Boot off of the netinst CD, using a local FTP mirror.

Machine: Dell Poweredge 750 rackmount 1U, with Adaptec AACRAID (Dell
CERC)
Processor: Pentium IV 2.8 GHz
Memory: 512 MB
Root Device: SCSI, /dev/sda (Adaptec AACRAID)
Root Size/partition table: 
 Not relevant. 120 GB on hardware RAID1.
Output of lspci:
 Relevant elements :
   Adaptec AACRAID PCI ID : 0285
   Intel E1000 dual port PCI ID : 1075

Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked:[O]
Configure network HW:   [E]
Config network: [E,O]
Detect CD:  [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [E,O]
Partition hard drives:  [O]

Mount partitions:   [O]
Install base system:[O]
Install boot loader:[O]
Reboot: [O]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:

The installer booted flawlessly, but couldn't detect the ethernet
card. It is a dual Intel E1000 card, supported by the stock e1000
driver. Loading the driver by hand leads to a working network setup,
the installer then detects the ethernet interfaces without any
problem.

The network configuration is a real pain. We have a DHCP server on the
network used to netboot thin clients and initiate network
backups/restore, which can't be used for anything else.
As the installer automatically issues DHCP requests without asking if
it should do so, we had to pull the plug, then redo the network
configuration. Wasted time.

The installer couldn't detect the Adaptec AACRAID card (RAID card with
6 SATA ports). Loading the driver by hand, together with sd_mod, leads
to a working setup, the installer then finds the RAID array as
/dev/sda, which is just fine.

The regular PATA controller was detected just fine, although the 2
onboard (non-RAID) SATA ports weren't detected. I've no details on the
SATA controller,  I'll get back to you with those details when I'll
have access to the machine again.

Partitioning with partman is a *PAIN*. This thing is horrible. It is
counter-productive and, at best, counter-intuitive. I thought the
installer would ask me to create a swap partition, but I found out
that I was left alone to create it with partman, and the whole thing
is non-obvious. Please, give me back my beloved cfdisk !

Then it complained because I wanted my /boot partition to be an XFS
partition, and that wouldn't work with grub. There's a patch for grub
on the linux-xfs mailing list, please get it applied to our grub
package and remove that warning. I want to get rid of ext{2,3} :P

choose-mirror is buggy. When going back, it will eventually present a
list of mirrors for the country you are supposed to be in, and the
enter information manually item isn't there. Annoying.

Also, it can't tell whether the mirror is unavailable due to network
problems or whether it's not usable for another reason. It'd be useful
to make the distinction between these 2 cases.


Although the installer didn't detect the AACRAID card, the reboot went
just fine. The network driver wasn't loaded, but that was no surprise.

Base-config presented its main menu, and didn't guide me through the
steps automatically. I don't know if it's intended, but I find it
disturbing.


We installed this machine in just 20 minutes. That was my fastest
Debian installation ever. Thanks guys, you're doing a really good job.

If you need more details on the machine, just ask, and I'll provide
them as soon as I'll have the hardware handy.

JB.

Either the package or the override file is incorrect.  If you think
the override is correct and the package wrong please fix the package

Well, I guess your situation is not really the general setup, so making
it easier for you would mean making it harder for almost everybody else.
There *are* easy work-arounds available - either do expert mode setup
which prompts you for this or I think there is a way to disable DCHP via
a boot option, you might want to check on those.

Because there is a DHCP server responding on the network doesn't mean
the user wants to use it, even when the user is almost everybody
else. That was the point.

So are you argueing that there should be an additional dialog box saying
'I've detected an DHCP server on your network. Do you want to use it
[Y/n]?' If not, then don't seem to understand your problem.

[Manual] Rescue options if reboot fails?

2004-04-24 Thread Frans Pop
The manual still describes the use of a rescue floppy in case the first reboot 
fails.

What options does a user have with d-i if the first reboot should fail?
Can the boot media (floppy or CD) be used for rescue (if yes, how)?

I have tried 'linux root=/dev/hd..' and 'linux root=/dev/discs/disc../part..' 
from CD and floppy but both failed (as I somewhat expected).

This is mainly i386 i guess...

TIA,

FJP

Well, I respectfully disagree. We should try to cut down on questions
asked for the express install, not add to them.

To the best of my knowledge, this question *is* asked, albeit with a
lower debconf priority than is displayed by default. So lowering the
debconf priority by selecting the expert install seems like a perfectly
reasonable way to cater for non-standard setups. And I *do* believe that
a non-desired DHCP server is a non-standard setup. Perhaps it should be
documented better, but I haven't checked on the documentation, so I
cannot comment on this.

Fine, but still it would be nice to provide at least some context when
forzarding such kind of mail, as a courtesy to offline readers, and
since i am not at home right now, my internet access is somewhat
sketchy.

Anyway, i have no read the bug report quickly, and notice that :

  1) upcoming 2.6.5 packages will be fully modular.
  2) For this reason, i have built JFS, XFS and reiserfs in the kernel a
  week or two ago, so this should be no problem. I have no idea what the
  testing status of it is though, but this should be fixed in the -8 in
  unstable, which also closes a bunch of seucirty holes.

Hope this helps, and explains my misunderstanding about thisproblem.

This is the first time I've used d-i and I'm generally very impressed,
but I do have some moans, which I present here for your consumption.

I'm sure some of these will have been flagged before, so please let me
know the score - if some need to be officially lodged in bugs.d.o, 
also let me know.

Bon appetit! :)

Installer before reboot:
The installer did not detect my network card. I have an old ISA 
Plug-n-Play NE2000 compatible. When I selected ne from the driver 
list, it was detected immediately without requiring any IO/IRQ settings.

I can understand if 'discover' simply doesn't support ISA any more -
it's been legacy for too long already. However, ne was not added
to /etc/modules, so on reboot I was unable to access the LAN until I
loaded the module and /etc/init.d/networking restart.

Base-config:
The Set up users and passwords writes two lines of similar text to the 
whiptail window when asking for a normal-priv user. The exact texts are 
something like Please enter a name and Please enter the name.

Tasksel's 'Custom Kernel' package will install kernel-source-2.4.25, 
when the installer has installed 2.4.26-386.

Tasksel is confusing to use. The Help text says that pressing ENTER or
SPACEBAR on a task will toggle the selection. This is not the case. If I
use the LEFT/RIGHT cursor keys to see More Info for a task, then
pressing ENTER or SPACEBAR will again invoke the 'More Info' function. 

From this point, the only way to again toggle tasks is to move the 
cursor left or right until none of the three options are highlighted - 
I'm an experienced sysadmin having done dozens of installs, and I find 
this most confusing - I shudder to think how a new user would find it :)

I'll explain what I did, and what happened. I want KDE installed, but 
not GNOME. I selected 'Desktop environment', and then pressed cursor 
keys until I got 'More Info' selected - on seeing that it will install 
GNOME, I wanted to remove my selection of 'Desktop environment', but I 
managed to press LEFT, and then SPACE.

Rather than deselecting 'Desktop Environment' this pressed 'Finish' so 
apt-get then immediately went to download 400MB of packages for X11, KDE 
and GNOME. I pressed CTRL-C to stop it, and it gracefully exited and 
returned me to the previous menu, where I selected only 'X Window 
system' and then 'Finish'.

Unfortunately it had remembered the previous selection, and still wanted 
to download KDE/GNOME/X11 :(

In fact, even after getting to the base-config menu, and pressing Cancel 
to completely restart base-config, it still remembered all the GNOME/KDE 
stuff I had now decided NOT to install.

I bypassed Tasksel, configured exim, finished base-config, and then 
executed apt-get install x-window-system manually.

Cheers,
Gavin.

Bug#245669: installation-reports

2004-04-24 Thread Burkhard Dunkel
Package: installation-reports
version:23-04-04
medium:net-install-cd from 04-24-04

System: self made P4 2,8 GHz, Asus P4C800-E Deluxe mainboard with one Gig
RAM, ATI 9800 PRO
on the mainboard are tho sata controller
the promise controller has two 149 GB disks

After the system boots, the installation beginns. The order of countries is
a little bit strange. The countries are sorted after their english names.
So you find Belurussia in front of Germany, but in German it is
Weissrussland which should follow Deutschland.

After the system boot, the hardware detection starts. There must be a major
problem with the promise controller.
I can't save the syslog, because I can't mount the floppy.

My cdroms are found as /dev/hda and /dev/hdc. The sata drives were detected
as ide0 and ide1.
I think there is a problem with the promise driver, because irq 18 is
disabled at the end.


Kind regards

Burkhard Dunkel

Re: [Manual] Rescue options if reboot fails?

Frans Pop wrote:
 The manual still describes the use of a rescue floppy in case the first reboot 
 fails.
 
 What options does a user have with d-i if the first reboot should fail?
 Can the boot media (floppy or CD) be used for rescue (if yes, how)?

d-i can be used to some degree as a rescue system, if you back out from
the partitioner and run a shell, you can mount any kind of fileystem,
chroot into it and do stuff. It's not really designed as a rescue system
though.

 I have tried 'linux root=/dev/hd..' and 'linux root=/dev/discs/disc../part..' 
 from CD and floppy but both failed (as I somewhat expected).

The problem here is that the i386 kernel uses an initrd, which is only
on the hard drive. Isolinux can't load it from there.

 choose-mirror is buggy. When going back, it will eventually present a

It's at the top of the list.

 Base-config presented its main menu, and didn't guide me through the

This is because something you did earlier dropped the installer to a

It never supported ISA.  It is not implemented.  It might be possible
to lift some code from the detect package, which did support ISA, but
no-one have spent the time doing it yet.

Patches are welcome, but the discover developers are not giving ISA
any priority at the moment, and I suspect you will have to pay Progeny
hard cash to change their priority on ISA support. :)

It's supposed to be added. I'm not sure if something in this area was

This will be fixed once 2.4.26 enters testing, which it has not done

[Manual] New installer options versus old boot options

2004-04-24 Thread Frans Pop
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I noticed there are three new installer options. I'd like to add them in the 
manual.

1) debian-installer/probe/usb=false
Is this i386 only?
Is this for systems that freeze when USB is probed?
Does this option replace the 'nousb' option currently described in:
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s01.html#id2453879
or are they for different situations?

2) hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false
Is this i386 only?
When should this option be used?

Is the procedure described in:
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s01.html#id2453819
still valid?

3) netcfg/use_dhcp=false
I guess this is valid for all archs.

No.

 When should this option be used?

When you don't want d-i to try to start PCMCIA, because it crashes
your computer. This mostly happens when the resource ranges are
wrong. It will probably become a medium priority question as well
after the string freeze.

 Is the procedure described in:
 http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s01.html#id2453819

You need to put the parameters in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts (not
/target) before running the hardware detection step. Then you need to
put them in /target as well, after the base installation. There is no
PCMCIA configuration part either, it is part of the hardware
detection.

If you don't need PCMCIA for installing, you can disable it during the
installation and then install pcmcia-cs and modify
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts afterwards. Hmm... pcmcia-cs is also part of
the laptop task which I'm not sure is such a good idea.

Some systems might freeze, I also had a report of a system that disabled

The nousb thing must be a boot-floppies parameter (I don't think it's a

This is most likely i386 specific, but if we have the wrong module
listed for some other arch, maybe needed there too, dunno.

 2) hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false
 Is this i386 only?

If you see a freeze when starting PC card services during hardware
detection. 

Oddly, some report that it says it's skipping the ide-floppy driver and
then freezes. That is right before it starts pcmcia, and maybe it does
not update the progress bar quite right.

This is probably i386 only, at least all reported hangs are on i386
hardware.

 Is the procedure described in:

This might work, but with d-i you have to do it before the hardware
detection pass, so boot in expert mode and run a shell before running
hardware detection.

 That's the one I had in mind, it's actually something that should be
 done in the bootloader installer, or in grub-install.

 It seems to me that this would need to be done in grub-install,
 presumably the idea is to freeze the XFS filesystem after the grub files
 are copied to it, and before grub is run, and both steps happen in
 grub-install

You got the idea :)

 This might work, but with d-i you have to do it before the hardware
 detection pass, so boot in expert mode and run a shell before running
 hardware detection.

One user reported success when I told him to edit
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts prior to hardware detection.

Bug#245700: doesn't show error when using existing names for VG

2004-04-24 Thread Martin Michlmayr
Package: lvmcfg
Version: 0.23

I wanted to set up a VG and not being very creative I just chose lvm
as its name.  When I wanted to create a LV, it complained that I don't
actually have any VGs.  However, when creating my lvm VG I didn't
get an error - however, using this name doesn't work because the
/dev/lvm device exists.

 does this bug affect the onboard tulip ethernet that comes with most of
 the alpha hardware?  if so, its a real bad bug.

It affects many (I don't know if we can say most) onboard tulip chips
that came with alphas.  There are actually a wide range of chips covered
by the tulip and de4x5 drivers that were distributed by Digital; I don't
know yet if there's a clear pattern of which chips are affected, or if
the problem has more to do with the associated hardware (such as PCI
configuration and chipsets).

It is a very bad bug, but I don't know that it's feasible to do much
about it in the 2.4 kernel series in time for sarge.

Bug#245704: didn't write changes before going to LVM

2004-04-24 Thread Martin Michlmayr
Package: partman
Version: 34

I wanted to crrate swap on #3, root on #6 (ext3) and LVM on #7.  #3
had swap already, #6 ext3 already, but I told it to reformat anyway.
#7 was ext2 before, but I wanted LVM.  I configured this in partman:

 IDE1 master - 30.7 GB Maxtor 6E030L0 
   #1 primary9.7 MB B   ext2 
   #2 primary4.9 GB ext2 
   #3 primary  511.9 MB   F swap   swap  
   #5 logical5.0 GB ext3 
   #6 logical4.9 GB   F ext3   / 
   #7 logical   15.2 GB   F lvm  

and then went to the LVM configuration tool.  But creating a VG told
me that no physical volume (PV) exists... I went to a shell and pvscan
could not find anything.  fdisk showed that #7 was marked as LVM,
though.  The other interesting thing is that when I entered the LVM
config menu, partman told me it would write its changes to disk, but
then it did not do anything (hmmm, maybe the first time I answered
this question with no (i.e. don't write changes), but I definitely
answered yes the second try.

/var/log/partman is attached.

It's interesting to see that the resource range has been a known problem

Re: [Manual] New installer options versus old boot options

How does this look for the PCMCIA option?
(I have removed most of the SGML tags.)

Some laptop models produced by DELL are known to crash when PCMCIA device
detection tries to access some hardware addresses. If you experience such
a problem and you don't need PCMCIA support during the installation, you can
disable PCMCIA using the userinputhw-detect/start_pcmcia=false/userinput
boot parameter. You can then configure PCMCIA after the installation is
completed and exclude the resource range causing the problems.

Alternatively you can try the following workaround:

- boot the installation system in expert mode, choose your language and
  country, but stop before hardware detection

- enter the system shell (see xref linkend=shell/ for details)

- execute this command:
  'echo exclude port 0x810-0x81f /etc/pcmcia/config.opts'

- now return to the main menu and continue with the installation process

You will also have to exclude the same address range in
'/target/etc/pcmcia/config.opts' before you reboot the computer to avoid 
running into the same problem when you boot into your new Debian system.

I would like to have powerpc release only after having
kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-* version 2.4.25-8 in testing
because of #245012.

A second problem I understand only now is that the powerpc discover we
have in testing now is broken: every time I switch on my laptop
(powerbook g4, 15, 867Mhz) it hangs when discover run and probe for
parallel port devices. This means that I have to press the keyboard
combination to reset the machine.

The problem appear *only* when the machine is powered on, and it's not
appearing when I reboot it.

When it hangs, the keyboard isn't working and the led (the only one this
machine has) is on.

Now I am upgrading the machine and it is downloading the new discover
2.0.4-3 with discover-data 2.2004.04.09-1, so this might be changed. I
will let you know.

I think it's written Dell. It might also be worth noting that this

 - execute this command:

I also send dmesg as attach (now with a simple name).

Re: release status update

2004-04-24 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen
[Giuseppe Sacco]
 A second problem I understand only now is that the powerpc discover
 we have in testing now is broken: every time I switch on my laptop
 (powerbook g4, 15, 867Mhz) it hangs when discover run and probe for
 parallel port devices. This means that I have to press the keyboard
 combination to reset the machine.

I believe this is fixed in the version of discover1 that went into
sarge last night.  Discover was instructed to not probe paralell and
serial ports at boot time, but there was a bug making it ignore this
instruction.  Please test if this is fixed or not, and add info to bug
#237603 (and possibly #214790).

 Now I am upgrading the machine and it is downloading the new
 discover 2.0.4-3 with discover-data 2.2004.04.09-1, so this might be
 changed. I will let you know.

I do not know if this is fixed in version 2 of discover.  I suspect it
is not.

 The display update could easily have a race.

Then I suspect that this is the case.

  Yes, you're right, I thought he meant whether it was possible to use
  to option on non-i386 machines. I know that there are problems with
  the resource ranges on other archs, but I don't think it causes any
  freezes.
 
 It's interesting to see that the resource range has been a known problem
 since the woody release at least, with nothing done about it.

Yeah, I just remembered about the powerpc problem, where the default
resource ranges are way off, and I've now sent a mail to
debian-powerpc asking about this. Nobody has sent a bug report about
it until recently.

Or are you talking about the i386 problems? I don't really know what
to do about these. In the PCMCIA HOWTO, there is a long [1]list of
computers where you have to tweak the resource ranges. Interesting to
note, however, is that Redhat by default excludes 0x800-0x8ff (the
Dell Inspiron range), 0x380-0x3ff and IRQ 12. Perhaps we should do
something similar. The old maintainer's opinion was that we shouldn't
modify the upstream defaults. I don't know what consequences there are
when you exclude resource ranges.

  I also reproduced this.  It seams as if utf8 is hardcoded somehow in

 I'm going to put a hack in partman to work around this, and reassign the
 bug to cdebconf. I'll make partman use a  instead of a NBSP, if the
 term is not bterm or xterm.

I can reproduce the same bug with
  whiptail --yesno '0xa0 This is a question' 12 34
where 0xa0 is the NBSP character, so I reassign this
bug to libnewt0.51.

2004-04-24 Thread Brian Hess
My name is Brian, I live in Western Washingon (Peninsula) and I downloaded 
the latest verson of Debian (7 disks) from local servers. After installing 
the software, I discovered the kernel will not access the display (x 
server). I set the default display at gdm, and gnome will not load. The 
kernel loads and I am limited to command line ability and I must get my 
machine working. I have had a lot of difficulty installing the system with 
my current ATI Radeon, pci, and though the distro does support it, I cant 
get it to work. Any suggestions you might have would be appreciated,

Cheers.

more detail would make it easier for people to help you out.

a short summary of what you need to do to get your card working:

install a recent kernel.  run modconf.  load the agp and the appropriate
DRM modules for radeon cards.  then reconfigure X11 so that it knows about
your card.  make sure you have the appropriate X libs and server
installed.

you might want to hunt a friend locally there to help you out - its nearly
impossible for someone to help you configure your X without hands-on
access to the machine.

I know there are several big LUGs and perlmonger groups near you who could
probably help you find someone to help quite directly
