Hi, [...] kernel graphics drivers aren't included in d-i, so blacklisting them won't help you. You're right. Actually the reported errors are on booting for the 1st time after installing. -- Melhores cumprimentos/Best regards, Miguel Figueiredo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: installation-reports Version: 2.45 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, When I tried the graphical install, it just hang. So I continued with the non-graphical install. After partitioning (choosing btrfs for all but the swap partition), when installing the base system the root partition almost immediately gave I/O errors. So I went back and chose ext4 for all partitions instead. The configuring bootloader step (grub2 in my case) failed without obvious error message, so I went back, opened a console and fixed it manually. Only choosing continue without boot loader did work from there. Afterwards I had problems with the new gnome-shell, only the fallback works. But that has probably nothing to do with the installer. -- Package-specific info: Boot method: CD Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/daily-builds/sid_d-i/current/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-testing-amd64-netinst.iso downloaded on January 6th Date: January 6th Machine: Dell Optiplex 780 Partitions: Filesystem Type 1K-blocksUsed Available Use% Mounted on rootfs rootfs 9611492 2199432 6923820 25% / udev devtmpfs 1940464 0 1940464 0% /dev tmpfstmpfs 389312 324388988 1% /run /dev/mapper/filotes-root ext4 9611492 2199432 6923820 25% / tmpfstmpfs 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock tmpfstmpfs 9031048 151496 8420800 2% /tmp tmpfstmpfs 778624 536778088 1% /run/shm /dev/mapper/filotes-home ext4 210616752 221776 199696224 1% /home /dev/mapper/filotes-tmp ext4 9031048 151496 8420800 2% /tmp /dev/mapper/filotes-var ext4 2882592 955632 1780528 35% /var 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: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system:[E] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup:[O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader:[E] Overall install:[O] Comments/Problems: Obviously the OKs after the Errors only happened when I worked around them. Like I said above, the graphical installer just hang after choosing it. I had to do a hard reboot to get back to the installer. I chose to use LVM. The boot partition was always plain ext4. When I chose btrfs (on LVM) for all other partitions (except swap), the base install spawned a gazillion I/O errors for the root partition. So I went back and chose ext4 (on LVM) instead. When configuring the boot loader (grub2), it showed me a progress bar and almost immediately a red message telling me it failed. So I went back, chose to open a console where I did the following: # chroot /target # update-grub inspected the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file # grub-install /dev/sda # ^D # exit Then I chose to continue without bootloader and it rebooted fine in the installed system.

I have just tested with latest official image, which has kernel-image-3.1.8-2, and still fails. With this version the kernel oops are not visible as in previous version but still fails with the message run out of space. This doesn't happen with ext4. BTRFS in daily images is currently unusable.

At first glance this could belong to grub-installer. AFAIK this is the first report with this issue. -- Melhores cumprimentos/Best regards, Miguel Figueiredo di_fails_grub_lvm.log.gz Description: application/gzip
