Bug#514016: cdebootstrap - packages with symlinks to dirs (libc6) can lead to writes outside the new root
severity 514015 important severity 514016 important thanks While there are many good arguments made here about why (c)debootstrap should handle these symlinks safely, fundamentally, if you can install two packages at the same time that disagree about whether a given path is a symlink or a directory, there's a bug in those packages. All co-installable packages need to agree on symlinks and directories, otherwise installing a package that uses a symlink, followed by installing a package that uses a directory, then removing the package that shipped the symlink will leave orphaned files on the filesystem that dpkg won't be able to find anymore. And using relative symlinks instead of absolute symlinks won't fix this, either. So *that* bug should be treated as RC, wherever it occurs, but I don't think we should treat this bug in *debootstrap as RC. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

It has a Marvell 88SE6121 Serial ATA controller on-board, and some other devices i didn't try. The first problem came with the network card. It's an on-board Attansic L1 Gigabit ethernet. Lspci shows an Unknown device 1969:1048 (rev. 04). I tried out an Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 amd64 installer and didn't detected it either, but i was able to install a minimal console system, and install and compile the driver by hand. I obtained the driver from the ASUS homepage. I downloaded V0.1.40.6 gnu/linux driver. I downloaded the kernel sources using a laptop and a usb stick (i downloaded with ubuntu patches, does it care?), i compiled it, and compiled the Attansic L1 gigabit ethernet driver module, called atl1.ko. Then i modprobe atl1 and voilá. Network was running. But that's Ubuntu, and i don't like it, i only used it to try to explain what was going on (since it's based on Debian). I like Debian (though i'm not a pro), and the installer has been fancy easy to use for me for years, this is my first problem with incompatibilities. The second, and last, problem came with the serial ata driver. Debian etch installer RC1 did'n recognized the sata driver, a Marvell 88SE6121. lspci shows a Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Unkown device 6121 (rev. b1). So i couldn't install it. I tried some of the modules from the offered list (sata_via, sata_mv, and all the via o amd i saw, even those that sounds like marvell). I suppose you are busy people, thank you very very much for your libre gift. Bye, Juan. ---End Message--- ---BeginMessage--- posth ole urini ferou s coadu natin g ---End Message---

Bug#565639: SunBlade 1000 installation report - boot fails after installation

However, after finishing the installation machine fails to boot [...] As the installation itself works fine I would guess this is not an installer problem, but a kernel issue. Maybe it leaves the hardware in an incorrect state for the reboot. Have you tried a cold boot of the installed system? Adding kernel team for comment: it looks like the value returned by uname -m has changed from 'sparc64' in kernel 2.6.26 to 'sparc' in 2.6.30 (and, probably, later ones). This breaks SILO, which uses this value to determine what first-stage bootloader to install, as a result the sparc machines installed with current daily installer builds turn unbootable by the end of installation. Please confirm that this change is not a result of some Debian-specific patch or build procedure, as it should be reported upstream if that's not the case.
