Hello, I've encountered some issues with Debian Installer RC1 on a brand new NSLU2, using a 1GB memory stick. The first problem I ran into was ssh being killed by the OOM killer while creating an ext3 filesystem on the memory stick, even if I manually enabled an 80M swap partition before the fs creation step. Re-logging through ssh I was unable to continue the installation because partman freezed trying to run /lib/partman/init.d/35dump (progress bar at 50%). I don't know why, but it hanged doing: cd /var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=mtdblock0 open_dialog DUMP It was indeed able to do the same thing previously, before the murder of ssh. I restarted the nslu2, created a larger swap partition (128M) and now the installation is going on happily. Note that askig the partitioner to choose the partitions' size by itself, it creates a swap area of circa 80M, which as I mentioned earlier is not enough to create a root fs and continue the installation. It'd be a nice thing IMHO to inform the user about this problem, somehow. ciao, ema
