base system installation error
Hello. For the last two days I have been trying to install debian-amd64 on
various machines but have been getting the following error immediately after the
start of the base system installation phase of the installation:
--------------------------------------------
[!!] Install the base system
Base system installation error
The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 2).
(next page...)
Failed to install the base system
The base system installation into /target/ failed.
--------------------------------------------
Does anyone know why this is happening? There do not seem to be any relevat
error messages in /var/log/messages. All of the relevant mount points seem fine
and are writable. All preceeding parts of the installation go off without a hitch.
The installation is from amd64.debian.net/debian-installer/daily/netboot/ from
6/6/2005.
Any thoughts at all? Is there a outstanding bug I'm not aware of? I did this
exact same installation on an identical machine less that a week ago with no
problems.
jamie.
