Package: libdebian-installer Another one, this one should be very clear what needs to be done in mapdevfs to fix. FWIW, the ccis and others are very similar to this. ----- Forwarded message from Rajkumar S <rajkumars@asianetindia.com> ----- From: Rajkumar S <rajkumars@asianetindia.com> Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2004 08:54:58 +0530 To: debian-cd@lists.debian.org Subject: Debian Installer and Compaq Smart Array Controller User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031205 Thunderbird/0.4 Hi, Any one tried d-i on Cpq smart array controller? I tried beta 3 (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/) and faced some problems. Installer creates /etc/fstab with default devfs entries (/dev/ida/disc0/part0 [typing from memory] - etc...) but for compaq it is /dev/ida/c0d0p1 etc. This creates problem when kernel is installed as mkinitrd complaints that such device is non existent. So what I did is to edit the fstab from F2, just before kernel installs. That takes care of kernel, but gets again stuck at boot loader. Here i reboot the box with knoppix CD and installs lilo (grub do not seems to work with cpq smart array ctrlr) from the knoppix. Over all I like the way d-i is progressing, except for the automatic dhcp configuration. I have a dhcp server here, and when ever I install the ip is taken from it, which is not what I want and that ip is wrong for my servers. thanks for all the good work people! regards, raj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
