Hi,
I´m trying todays installer[1], and it´s still broken. When installing
the base system, it pops up an error message:
The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1). Check
/var/log/syslog ...
There´s a message on console 3 saying "chroot: cannot execute mount: No
such file or directory"
When you look up /target/bin, there´s actually no mount. I manually
copied over everything from /bin to /target/bin and selected to install
the base system again from the installer menu to the unclean target.
During the install, there are some messages in the progress window
saying something about required packages that cannot be unpacked, but
they disappear to quickly to be read.
The process continues until it asks which kernel image should be
installed. The linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic is the default which I
choose (BTW, what´s the difference between the two images?). It then says:
An error was returned while trying to install the initrd-tools package
onto the target system ...
On console 3, errors for the following packages are reported:
sed
wget
lsb-base
console-common
netbase
initscripts
module-init-tools
console-tools
sysvinit
modutils
I have saved the logfiles and can mail them, but they are rather large.
Let me know if they would be helpful, and I´ll mail them.
