Bug#249459: D-I another try
wow. tried the new d-i on my new cube.
the installation has become more easy than on i386 machines.
honest. it worked like a charm.
tried the "simple" auto-partitioning -> worked without errors
tried the "advanced" lvm-partitioning -> worked without errors.
everything went sooo smooth, that i am more than just impressed.
for those interested, some of my notes and excerpts of the
minicom-session:
Mon Oct 25 18:51:59 CEST 2004
do this:
vi /etc/dhcpd.conf
host cobalt.ai.my-domain.ac.at {
hardware ethernet 00:10:e0:00:76:4e;
fixed-address 192.168.51.126 ;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.107.146;
server-name "192.168.107.246";
option root-path "/nfsroot";
filename "default.colo";
next-server 192.168.107.246;
option host-name "cobalt";
}
/etc/init.d/dhcpd restart
ldapvi -D 'dc=supi,dc=ai'

ssh aitmp -l root
mkdir /nfsroot
echo "/nfsroot 192.168.51.126(ro,async)" >> /etc/exports
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
cd /nfsroot
wget http://people.debian.org/~tbm/d-i/images/mipsel/2004-09-29/cobalt/nfsroot.tar.gz
ln -s . nfsroot
tar xvfz nfsroot.tar.gz
reboot cobalt, pressing left and right direction button
!!! ATTENTION: dhcp does not work when the original ip-address is in a different netmask than your current one. so ... you might have to boot the cobalt into the original OS is had and set the ip-address to something in your netmask in order to have a successful dhcp-request. (kind of security thing...)
choosing NFS-option
there we go: "welcome to the debian-installer"
