Re: Installing with d-i: summary and notes

| Anyway the main problem is that once the params are entered, in case they

We need to fix this somehow -- should we have a generic «reconfigure
some item not on this list», which scans the status file, checks which
are half-configured and configured and then runs dpkg-reconfigure on
that package, or what?

| kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s - net-pf-1, errno = 2

FWIW, I have this fixed in my local build now. As you write: annoying
but harmless.
| Once base is installed, LILO setup. The direct step in the text UI can be

| shell. The strange thing is that I didn't end up with the same
| /target/etc/lilo.conf wether I used one solution or the other.

| If rebooting now, none of the two LILO setup solutions would work. Kernel
| panics with VFS: Unable to mount root filesystem. Tollef said to add an
| initrd=/initrd.img to the lilo.conf. You can do this by echo
| initrd=/initrd.img >> lilo.conf (in /target/etc) or use nano to edit the
| file.
The lilo setup is somehow broken; there is no initrd symlink in
/target so just fixing lilo.conf won't help. I'm not sure how to fix
this in a non-gross way.
(A lot of the other issues noted here are already fixed or known
issues with known, but unimplemented, solutions, so I won't elaborate
further on them)
