Bug#145981: boot-floppies: endless config-loop after install using woody idepci
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 20020506
Severity: normal
bootfloppies:
ncftp ...ent/images-1.44/idepci > pwd
ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/idepci/
This URL is also valid on this server:
ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.22-2002-04-03/images-1.44/idepci/
install-method: ftp/http
install-url: http://ftp.de.debian.org
proxy: none
install-lang: de
modconf: epic100
boot-method after install: floppy
after normal installation of the base-system and a normal reboot, I
configured the usual things:
timesettings: gmt: no; region: europe; city: berlin
password-settings: md5: no; shadow: yes
setting password for root
creating a user and setting the password
after this all, the configure-script entered a endless loop, starting again
at the time-settings and password-settings with the previous selections as
default.
As I thouth I did something wrong, I made a new install - with the same
result.
Only by killing the configure-script from another console, I could proceed
to the exim-configuration.
Of course after killing the configure-script, here wher a few errormessages,
but the system seems to work. Only apt-setup did not work, so I had to edit
/etc/apt/sources.list manualy.
If you need more information, just mail me.
