I tried it myself in a vmware virtual machine, the debootstrap procedure does works. So there must be something wrong with my kvm setup because I noticed that connection to NTP server is also failing during my experimenting. But I haven't got an idea where is the cause because whenever I try to use busybox shell prompt after configuring networking in d-i, downloading from public mirrors works. > Btw, where is your source packages published?

It was within some semi-private conversations during the discussions with upstream, and since the commit is now available upstream I've made them able to be applied to current sid version of grub2 package, while testing isn't done. As I'm about to send the weekly report, draft patches will be included in the report. -- Regards, Aron Xu _______________________________________________ Soc-coordination mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/soc-coordination
