Version: CVS 25/02/2003 (not installed)
Severity: normal
Hi all,
probably some of these small problems are known and sorry in
case of duplicated information.
I did built d-i from today CVS and noticed this:
- hostname at reboot is localhost (Im sure this is an old problem)
even if specified differently during the installation.
/etc/hosts is indeed correct.
- for kernel 2.4.19 are missing modules/userland utils. An example is
evms. It is possible to install the userland but not load any module.
That makes the userland useless.
- on the console (busybox) a number of commands do not work.
ex: ifconfig, modprobe. keep printing the enabled functions in
busybox.
- at d-i modules selection time number 18) is missing a description
i hope to remember correctly that was 18 but anyway it just claim:
18) for debian-installer
- lilo config should be regenarated after the first reboot with a more
"commented" one.
- mkswap is enabled in busybox but it is still not possible (if not by
hand) to create a swap partition automatically.
Then i made some experiments using kernel-2.4.20 to install changing
of course the version in the Makefile and in order to make it fitting on
the disk i dropped the isapnp card support (no need for my laptop).
Well of course the first problem is the size. 1 floppy is not enough.
It arises the same problem of kernel modules/userland utilities
(this time for lvm as well). The installer anyway cannot go further the
"partition harddisk". It looks like it cannot find the partitions even
if they are there. I was not able to force it to proceed even mounting
the partitions by hand.
Thanks to everyone. except from this small things I had a really good
feeling using it. Congratulations for your great job guys!
Fabio

I'm closing this because it was probably caused by loading the
busybox-cvs udeb. If you can reproduce the problem (that is,
loading the udeb without selecting it), please reopen this
report.
