Bug#237604: installation-reports: AlphaServer 1000A: Syslogd not running, CD-Rom not detected
Package: installation-reports
Version: N/A
Severity: important
System Information:
AlphaServer 1000A/266, CD-Rom RRD45 as device DKA400 in firmware
It is connected to pka, the QLogic ISP10x0 in this machine,
not to the NCR 53C810.
This machine has 64MB RAM.
Images used:
Netboot-Businesscard-Images from 10Mar04, also tried with
the same image from 8Mar04.
I boot configuration "0" in aboot,
boot/cdrom-linux ramdisk_size 16384 initrd=/boot/cdrom-initrd.gz,
root=/dev/ram devfs=mount,dall
Problems:
1. Syslogd is not running (I suppose it should, as virtual console
4 tells me "tail /var/log/syslog: no such file or directory".
When started manually, it runs fine.
2. CD-Rom is not being mounted. Already described this in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/debian-boot-200403/msg01024.html
Additional information: From the log:
user.notice cdrom-detect: Searching for Debian installation media ...
Basically the CD-Rom can't be mounted from the menu, but
works fine manually.
