Package: installation-reports Boot method: CD and USB stick Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_beta2/amd64/iso-cd/debian-squeeze-di-beta2-amd64-netinst.iso Date: Dec 13, 2010 Machine: Dell XPS 630i Processor: Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz Memory: 4 GB Partitions: N/A Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [E ] Detect network card: [ ] Configure network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [E ] Comments/Problems: I've tried d-i beta 2 on Dell XPS 630i. I first tried creating a USB memory stick with the installer .iso on it (following a standard procedure); the install USB stick works on my other computer (Lenovo T410s). However, on 630i it always fails at the beginning of the install process. The message, when kernel panics, typically goes like this: ... (no apparent error messages thru this point) ... [0.597991] List of all partitions: [0.600310] No filesystem could mount root, tried: [0.602749] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3) ... (call trace output after this) ... (This output is from an attempt to use CD install medium.) I have tried adding rootdelay=10 option for the kernel, without any effect. I have observed the same symptom with the netinst .iso burned on a blank CD. In fact, I have never been able to use d-i successfully on 630i (I've tried the same thing several months ago). Last time I installed Debian, I had to install off a Lenny install medium and then do dist-upgrade. Is there any way to get Squeeze d-i to work on this machine? Any help is 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 and/or - they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to close wishlist bugs.) 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 - and that's often better, as the bug log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft. cheers, HolgerAttachment: signature.asc
