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 :-)

I am closing this old bug report on the Debian Installer, because it seems
likely that it is fixed in current versions, such as beta 3. If the problem
still exists, please file an installation report.
