2003-06-12 installation failure report
Machine: powerpc (PowerBook G4)
distribution: sarge
type: net
mirror: http://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian
Localudebs:
- mac-fdisk (no udeb see #188420)
- partitioner (script for powerpc, see #194590)
- socket-modules (wrong name, unix.o not included see #193402)
Problems:
1. mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3 are files of size 0 instead of links
to mke2fs. Deleting these files and creating links made partconf
work
2. partconf does not call swapoff nor unmount partitions when called
again. So if your configuration partially faild and you have to
reinvoke partconf, you have to do this manually first.
3. debootstrap segfaults. It begins to download release and packages
files and some debs and then sefgaults. All files downloaded are
first failing 3 times and then the download succeds. When manualy
downloading files with wget, there are no errors. Debootstrap logs
are empty.
