INSTALL REPORT

Debian-installer-version: 14-Sep-2003 16:15 116M
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/sarge-i386-netinst.iso

uname -a: Linux localhost 2.4.21-5-386 #1 Sun Aug 24 13:14:58 EST 2003 i686 GNU/Linux
Date: 2003-09-15
Method:
I've booted from an CDRW containing the above netinst.iso, no network because
of missing PCMCIA-Packages and therefore no proxy. 

Machine: IBM ThinkPad 600E
Processor: Mobile Pentium II, 366 Mhz
Memory: 128M
Root Device: IDE /dev/hda1
Root Size/partition table:  see below
Output of lspci: Sorry, no network, no floppy and far too long to cutnpaste by hand :)

Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked:    [O]
Configure network HW:   [ ] 
Config network:         [ ]
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives:     [O]
Partition hard drives:  [ ]
Create file systems:    [O]
Mount partitions:       [O]
Install base system:    [o]
Install boot loader:    [E]
Reboot:                 [O]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:

Okay, here we go - step by step:
- booted with 'linux vga=791'
- Choose Language: Deutsch/Deutschland
  (many menupoints are still english. I guess this is known and more or less on
  whishlist :)
- Detect a keyboard and select layout: [de-latin1-nodeadkeys]
- Detect CDROM devices
- Load installer modules: cdrom-retriever, none chosen
  This list is fairly long and complicated for a newbie
  (but let's imagine I know what I am doing here... ;)
- Detect hardware and load kernel drivers for it (full version)
  loaded ide-scsi and scsi_mod additionally (checked using lsmod)
- switching to console 2 and running cfdisk returns "FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive"?!?
  So I tried "automatically Partition Hard Drives (unsafe) which created 3 partitions:

  /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 3810208+ Linux
  /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 2487240  extended
  /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 2487208+ Linux swap

  Since the / partition was created as ext2 and I want ext3 I rebooted and went
  through everything again - leaving out partitioning
...
- Configure and Mount Partitions
  - /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 3.6 GiB ext3
  - Create ext3 file system
  - mount at /
  - /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 2.4 GiB swap
  - Create swap space
  - Finish...
- Install the base system
- Install the kernel
  It's kinda irritating to see the "Automatically Partition Hard Drives
  (unsafe) here, but I guess, it's because I missed that point during the
  second installation. 
  But it shouldn't be there if I mounted partitions already?
  - debian-installer utility for creating fstab file
  - kernel-image-2.4.21-5-386
- Install GRUB on a hard disk
  (hd0)
  ... 40%, ... ... ...
  (translated back from german:) Unable to install GRUB into (hd0)
  grub-installer's postinst exited with status 256
  
Okay, this didn't work, so let's try
- Install LILO on a hard disk
  (the grub-installer-screen flashed to the foreground for a second?)
  LILO is going to install a "Totoblock" (At least it's called Totoblock in the
  german translation?)
  - /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
  (the grub-installer-screen flashed once more to the foreground - still at 40%)
  Warning: Unable to determine video adapter in use in the present system. 
  Added Linux *
- Finish the installation and reboot
  (once again the grub-installer-screen)

Disc gets ejected and I continue
- LILO boots
- I can shortly see a problem with missing PCMCIA-modules (which sucks on a
  notebook) before base-config starts
- base-config runs - but since it's not the installer I stop describing here

- switching to console2 shows that I still have an english keyboard-layout?
  BTW - I've just noticed that you can login as root/<no pword> before
  base-config did it's work :-(
- /root/dbootstrap_settings shows that languagechooser inserted LANG_INST,
  LANGUAGE_INST, kbd-chooser KEYBD and prebaseconfig SUITE variables. Those
  include the german keyboard-layout and language settings I've chosen, but 
  it's not being used?

Okay, so far for my report - waiting for the next netinst-image with PCMCIA
before testing again :-)

Maintainer: Debian Install System Team <debian-boot@lists.debian.org>
Changed-By: Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>
Description: 
 base-config - Debian base system configurator
Closes: 55403 127678 159544 197073 209403 212440 212448 217814 220836 221445
Changes: 
 base-config (2.00) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Safir Secerovic
     - Add Bosnian translation (bs.po).
   * Tommi Vainikainen
     - Add Finnish translation (fi.po).
   * Ilgiz Kalmetev
     - Update Russian templates tranlsation. Closes: #221445
   * Sent a few things to /dev/null.
   * Rename apt-setup/distribution to mirror/distribution, and
     apt-setup/http_proxy to mirror/http/proxy, to match values from
     debian-installer.
     Note that I still use symbolic release names in mirror/distribution,
     in contrast to d-i. I will accept code names though.
   * Add debian-installer/keymap dummy template to get values copied from d-i.
   * Inherit debconf/priority from d-i. This means it defaults to high for
     most installs, which is a large change!
   * Add support for copying configs in from a d-i cdebconf db, and for
     setting LANG based on debian-installer/locale. When present, a cdebconf
     db overrides dbootstrap_settings, but the old file is still supported,
     for now, for compatability.
   * Applied patch from Christian Perrier for debconf template polishing.
     Closes: #220836
     (However, there were some rejects, and so it was a hand merge, and
     the French translaton update part of the patch was droppd.)
   * Remove "persistent" from apt-setup/security-updates, added incorrectly
     by above patch.
   * No longer take the mere presense of /root/dbootstrap_settings as an
     indication of a new install; $1 must equal new.
   * Move and rename scripts that can be menu items, and add .mnu files to
     control their order and usage.
   * Add menu items to debconf templates.
   * Change hostname script to always prompt for the hostname at at least
     medium priority, but use high if the hostname is not set at all.
     This is so it will do something if picked manually from the menu.
   * Also, if the hostname is "localhost", as set by d-i on a non-networked
     (or dhcp?) install, always ask about it at high priority.
   * Fix hostname script to not do the stupid substitute into a default thing;
     the SET command is there for a reason.
   * Don't bother asking about or doing a poff.
   * Add a menu item to run a shell.
   * Merge the X hack and popcon into the pkgsel and apt-get steps.
   * Move the note about base-config from the intro to the final message.
   * Merge screen blanking code into intro and finish.
   * Merge all the final stuff into one finish menu item, which has better
     flow than we had before, with the final message really being final.
   * Enable xdm starter.
   * Remove redundant LANG setting code from base-config program, it will
     only be handled by termwrap now.
   * Modify base-config to display a menu at medium priority, and operate
     based on .mnu files. If something goes wrong, drop debconf priority to a
     level that displays the menu, from which you can retry steps to hopefully
     correct it. Closes: #55403, #127678, #197073, #159544
   * Update base-config man page to document new stuff.
   * Only pass --unseen-only to dpkg-reconfigure calls when it's a new
     install. If base-config is re-run, old questions should also be
     shown.
   * Make pkgsel set a default package selector.
   * Improve localised strings for package selectors.
   * Cleaned up title setting.
   * Depend on debconf 1.3.22 for SETTITLE support and debconf-communicate.
   * Convert the install-problem template to a note, and always display the
     main menu if it fails there.
   * Increase the priority of the package selector question to high.
     Without displaying that question, I'd need a high priority note to explain
     what comes next anyway.
   * Remove text in hostname question about it being a fqdn. d-i puts a non
     qualified name in there, after all.
   * Display the welcome banner and final message at high priority so they
     will still be visible.
   * Rename the log file to base-config.log.
   * Remove console tools removal code for serial consoles, d-i just doesn't
     install it in that case.
   * The console-tools keymap file has changed from
     /etc/console-tools/default.kmap.gz to /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz.
     Probably Closes: #212440, #212448 (I'd appreciate some more testing.)
   * Rename KEEP_BASE_DEBS to KEEP_DEBS and make it disable all apt-get clean
     calls in base-config. Closes: #217814
   * If the user includes non-free, always pull in contrib. Conversly, if they
     do not pick non-free, then ask about contrib at a low priority. There
     are a few things in contrib that do not depend on non-free.
     Closes: #209403
   * Move Mirrors.masterlist to libdir so it will be copied to tmp with
     everything else.
   * Clarified the PPP question.
   * Propigate exit code from apt-setup out to menu to allow fallback.
   * Make tzsetup exit 30 if backed up past its start.
   * Similar changes to finish, hostname, intro, pkgsel, pon.
   * Bugs filed on console-data, passwd, exim4-config, to get them to exit
     30 appropriatly as well. This leaves only apt-get that in general you
     cannot back up from.
   * Turn on capb backup for all of base-config.
   * Make base-config itself exit 30 if you back up from the main menu.
   * Urgency medium because this will get little testing before it is in
     testing, and because some of the unfiled bugs fixed above are really
     release critical.
