Machine: packer initiated boot of netinst.iso in vmware fusion 7 on Mac OS X 10.10) Processor: vmware (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3720QM CPU @ 2.60GHz) Memory: 512MB Partitions: machine doesn't get installed Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): machine doesn't get installed Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [ ] Comments/Problems: in a Packer setup we are preseeding the netinst.iso from Jessie Beta 2 - it works well until it tries to download header files to linux-3.14-something (which in beta 2 is current kernel) but no longer exists upstream. (we need the header files to build vmware-tools for the packer image) Then we try to use daily snapshot of netinst.iso http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso but our preseeding then fails and stops on “Select a language” (see attached screenshot) so something has changed? We’ve tried a lot of preseeding options without finding the right one - is this a bug, or has something changed? our preseeding file: http://pastebin.com/q1B6jwW4 the way we iniate packer (and preseeding): http://pastebin.com/gHm06TnY PS: not sure where in the above [] questions the installation stalls? So the [O]'s might not be right. PPS: The presseding file works on beta 2 still (except for the missing package kernel header package) -- Lasse Aagren DTU Library --------------------------------------- Technical University of Denmark Technical Information Center of Denmark Anker Engelunds Vej 1 Building 101D 2800 Kgs.
