Re: Bug#688744: ext2 support for USB removable media in debian-installer
There is another catch: after firmware installation, usb flash remains as sda1, forcing system disk to become sdb. and that prevents GRUB2 from installation onto correct drive. booting into recovery mode, and doing grub-install /dev/sdb fixed that. Maybe it is good idea to remove flash, after firmware install? And before partitioning. I'll test that next time...

Re: Bug#688470: netcfg infinitely tries to get a DHCPv6 reply in mixed stateless/stateful autoconfig if the DHCPv6 server does not reply
I have similar problem: DELL 2950 server. network card firmware reported as missing. I decided to try anyway. Entered IPv6 address manually. After that, it goes to some infinite loop, trying autoconfig or dhcp? Normally it should report timeout. Gasha On 09/23/2012 01:31 AM, Karsten Merker wrote: Package: netcfg Version: 1.92 Severity: wishlist Scenario: Netcfg 1.92 runs in an IPv6 environment with stateless autoconfiguration including RDNSS. When the router advertisements have AdvOtherConfigFlag set to On, i.e. they tell the client to do a DHCPv6 request for additional (non-address) information, and the DHCPv6 server does not respond, the client seems to infinitely try to get a DHCPv6 reply. After about 10 minutes I have killed the dhcp6c process, but that results in the whole network configuration process starting from the beginning. Having router advertisements with AdvOtherConfigFlag On and a non-responding DHCPv6 server should of course not happen in a correctly functioning network, but if possible it would be nice if the client could timeout within a relatively short time when there is no reply, as it does for DHCPv4. In this scenario (DNS is supplied via RA) all information which is strictly required for the installation (prefix, gateway and DNS) has already been gathered from the RA, so the installation could proceed without the additional DHCPv6 info (domain name, NTP servers, timezone info, etc.). A malfunctioning DHCPv6 server should not block the installation in this case. Even if DNS info is not supplied via router advertisements but via DHCPv6, it would be better from a user perspective if the DHCPv6 request would timeout after a reasonable amount of time and the user gets asked for the missing DNS information.

I reported the same or similar bug at 11. January 2012 with the installer. Now I wanted to try out if the bug is solved. Sure, no problem with that. But in that case, since you did an actual install, an installation-reports bug would have been appropriate. Also, if you think it's the same bug, why not file additional info on 655505 instead of filing a new bug? (Though looking at that bug now, it would probably be better to reassign to the kernel if your suspicions that it's a kernel issue are correct. It doesn't seem like a bug in the installer.) Because I use the netbook daily for work now, I don't install a new release at my own risk. That's why I first try a live version and if everything is fine I will install later. Because there is no official live built image of Wheezy I had to built it myself. And no problem with that, either. However, booting a live image is not an install, so an installation-reports bug is not appropriate. For testing a beta release of Wheezy it would be good if you create an official live built image rather than to force the user to make an installation. And as soon as we (speaking for the debian-live team, now) can, we will, of course. The fact that we have not yet should tell you something. (It is not from lack of caring that they are not there yet.) Meanwhile, please file bugs against appropriate (pseudo-)packages to help us track issues better. Had this particular issue been a problem with the live build service or live build toolchain, the live team might not know it because they generally do not follow the live-boot list. The only reason I even discovered that this involved a live image is because you put netbook in the subject which is a particular interest of mine. I do not want to discourage you from filing reports. It is much appreciated. I am just concerned about them being misdirected so they don't get attention, or else needlessly tie up time being reviewed by the wrong team. I hope you understand. Back on-topic again, in 655505 you talked about Knoppix cheatcodes. In response, you were told how to blacklist modules. Did you try that? It seems the most fruitful line of inquiry here would be to close out this bug and reassign that one to the kernel, continuing to try to narrow down what it is about the kernel that hates your hardware.
