Comments/Problems:
this is the same machine as #242659 *)
unfortunately ended again without a working os on it.
1) detecting network loads module DAC960
don't know how that raid controller helps for networking?
anyway everything dead, last thing i could do was to change
consoles without seeing any grave message, i assume kernel panic
-> please blacklist that controller for network detection.
rebooted with DEBCONF_PRIORITY=3Dmedium to not load that module
2) another error while installing the base system on a clean target:
"couldn't download dpkg"
the dhcpd daemon of that ass slow network is configured with
"renewal in 150 seconds" so that may have interferred.
on the next run i had more luck regarding network.
3) install the base system fails after 70% because of apt-utils
vc3 shows:
Errors were encountered while processing: apt-utils
umount: /target/dev/pts: No such file or directory
umount: /target/dev/shm: No such file or directory
umount: /target/proc/bus/usb: Invalid argument
changed to vc2, chrooted into /target, cd /var/cache/apt/archives,
dpkg -i *deb
apt-get install aboot libdb4.2 kernel-image-2.4.26-generic
4) boot loader menu entry jumps back to base-install instaed of calling
swriteboot witch correct arguments:
tried to install aboot from debian main-menu,
that asked if i want to proceed on an unclean base install,
which i thought to have cured above somehow, but arrrgh
it brings me back to 3)
redone aboves steps then outside of chroot:
sbin/swriteboot -c1 dev/sda boot/bootlx
(hmm it's a wild guess but seems to work somehow,=20
stumbeled a bit but /dev/sda seemed not to exist only above /target)
edited /etc/aboot.conf to reflect the root partition on 1 partition.
=20
5) boot fails on kernel panic unable to mount root=3D/dev/sda1
when entering aboot, a quick 'l' lists aboot.conf entries
choosing 1 boots up the kernel, but
Please append a correct "root=3D" boot option
kernel panic: vfs unable to mount root fs on 08.01
also treid with bootargs=20
devfs=3Dmount,dall root=3D/dev/scsi/host0/bus/0/target0/lun0/partition1
but same result.
hope that helps for further alpha development.
best regards
maks
*) i will close that bug report,
as scsi disc were recognised after boot (no need to mount)=20
those base system trouble were cured,
and the menu entry of aboot showed up.
