Towards D-I Stretch Alpha 4
Hi, I've just pushed a patch in D-I bumping the linux kernel ABI for the latest linux migration to testing, and therefore pondering when to schedule a release. I'm thinking somewhen before the end of October would be nice, if feasible on the debian-cd side. I don't think I've seen many changes lately, except for those planned on the CD side (thanks for the detailed announce!), so I'm currently not anticipating bad surprises (but I'm probably lacking imagination or wisdom). (Letting debian-release@ know about the possible upcoming udeb block; even if that would likely be after the October 17th/18th weekend.) Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#801233: EFI install Fails without GUI
I am using ESXi 5.5, it is an older dell 2900. (wouldnt think that would mater. I do a graphical Expert install, and chose most of the defaults, I do Force EFI mode. I have tried it multiple time... In fact I am in the process now. I was going to chose Gnome, then uninstall it. I just wanted a simple box for a MySQL DB for my son to play on. I initially tried 8.1 and now am using the 8.2 image.

Bug#801233: EFI install Fails without GUI
I understand, it is strange, I don't know if Gnome still uses a HAL or some system board calls that might be needed with the VMWare system board. I am not a Gnome user, so if I step off the edge of my knowledge I apologize. The Force EFI during the partitioning, made it sound like "Yes" indicated that you didn't care about anything else on the system. I will run the install with the default. I actually access my VMware host from a windows box running on VirtualBox on my local machine. I will run a quick install next, see if I get any different result.

(wouldnt think that would mater. OK. My own default test setup is with qemu/kvm, but I've seen it work with Virtualbox too. It *might* be an oddit with ESXi, but I'm honestly struggling to see how the presence or lack of a desktop environment could make a difference here! >I do a graphical Expert install, and chose most of the defaults, I do >Force EFI mode. OK. Out of curiosity, are you changing anything at all related to EFI or bootloader? If you're forcing EFI mode, is that because you have another OS installed in this VM? >I have tried it multiple time... In fact I am in the process now. I >was going to chose Gnome, then uninstall it. I just wanted a simple >box for a MySQL DB for my son to play on. > >I initially tried 8.1 and now am using the 8.2 image. OK.
