Package: debian-installer
Version: wheezy 20110106+squeeze4 debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
Target system: Compaq DL380-G1 which has an integrated SCSI disk controller (cpqarray)
I have installed Debian previously fine under LILO boot, system got hosed and required new install

This time:
- netinstall from CD fine, 
- installer suggested to include cpqarray which was selected
- first reboot after install fails with kernel panic:

List of all partitions:
No file system count mount root, tried:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (72,1)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

tried both kernels offered in install options

   * What was the outcome of this action?

unchanged

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

kernel/install to handle inclusion of method/module providing disk access through the disk controller (cpqarray) at boot time (assumption that this causees the problem

there are the following modules on the new install partition which crashes:

/lib/modules/3.2.0-1-686-pae/kernel/drivers/block/cpqarray.ko
/lib/modules/3.2.0-1-686-pae/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug/cpqpho.ko

and /etc/init.d/cpqarrayd with links in all the rc?.d's


*** End of the template - remove these lines ***

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 were caused by broken hardware and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are quite old (and thus likely fixed today) and/or
- moreinfo was asked and not given.

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
