*** reportbug.txt
if I booting the debian lenny net-installer from a compact flash card drive
(No USB Card-Reader!) finds the installer not the debian-506-i386-netinst.iso.
The flash drive is /dev/hda. (Primary Master on IDE bus)
The Installer is located on /dev/hda1.
Drive /dev/hda2 should be the installation target for Debian system and
is formatted with an ext3 fs.

/dev/hdc is a 40 GB HDD with several Partitons and not relevant.


First Step:

Partitiontable of /dev/hda is:

===================================================================
Disk /dev/hda: 4110 MB, 4110188544 bytes
128 heads, 63 sectors/track, 995 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 = 4128768 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1         125      503968+  83  Linux
/dev/hda2             126         995     3507840   83  Linux
===================================================================

Second step:

mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
cd /mnt
wget http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/vmlinuz
wget http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/initrd.gz
wget http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.6/i386/iso-cd/debian-506-i386-netinst.iso


Third Step:

Create an extlinux.conf in /mnt:

==================================================================
default vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz
==================================================================

4rd Step:

Make the CF Card bootable:

extlinux -i .
cd ..
umount /mnt
dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/hda


5th Step:

reboot. The CF card boots perfectly. I can choose the language and so on.
But the installer finds no .iso Image on /dev/hda1!
Why ignored the installer /dev/hda???

The installer gziped logfiles are attached.

Thanks and bye

Torsten.

Hi,

thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old, more than 2.5 years and they had "Lenny" in subject.

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log 
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
