Package: installation-reports
Debian-installer-version: 08/26/04 http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/alpha/rc1/sarge-alpha-netinst.iso
uname -a: (can't get since reboot failed, but kernel 2.6.6-1-generic was selected for the install)
Date: 08/26/04 14:00
Method: aboot via SRM, using aboot menu item 1 (includes console=ttyS0, which is required)
Machine: Digital AlphaServer DS10
Processor: EV6 400Mhz
Memory: 1G
Root Device: SCSI dka400 (would be /dev/sdd at system level)
Root Size/partition table: (created by partman, disk already had a Tru64 label with partitions, but partitions were not recognized)
6 Mb aboot
1 Gb swap
58 Mb /boot (ext2)
4 Gb / (ext3)
128 Mb /tmp (ext3)
2 Gb /var (ext3)
<2 Gb /home (ext3, remainder of 9 Gb disk)
Output of lspci and lspci -n: (N/A, system did not reboot)
Two scsi cards: a NCR 53C895 and QLogic ISP10x0
No display
Two DE500 100bt ethernet connections (tulip)

Reboot: [E]
Comments/Problems:
Initial boot:
Boot parameters "debconf/frontend=text" and "BOOT_DEBUG=3" are ignored. This is unfortunate, as the
curses display uses VT control characters unrecognized by my terminal, so navigation of the installer
is difficult. It would be VERY USEFUL if the documentation would mention what VT modes are required
to run the installer in serial console.
This system is serial-console only, but aboot's default menu item 0 does not contain a serial console
flag. Menu item 1 contains the 'console=ttyS0' flag, which is required for the boot. Consequently
item 1 worked.
Install boot loader:
The aboot.conf file created for the reboot does not contain *any* serial console entry. It would be
VERY USEFUL if the installation procedure would include a matching 'console=ttyS*' setting to match
what was used to boot the cdrom (if 'console=ttyS*' was used)
Reboot:
Reboot failed because kernel 2.6.6-1-generic has a bug in file slab.c, that occurs immediately after
the probing of the SCSI devices:
(boot dka400.4.0.14.0 -file /vmlinuz -flags initrd=/initrd.img root=/dev/sdd3 ro console=ttyS0)
