So far, I have not been able to reproduce this with any of the images I've tested; even at DEBCONF_PRIORITY=high, I'm always (correctly) prompted for my keyboard type. Hmm, I've only been testing netinst and netboot so far; I'll give a businesscard image a try to see if it makes a difference. > 2) after choosing the kernel base-install fails after 81% > initial choosen kernel-image-2.4.26-1-smp > reproduced with kernel-image-2.6.6-1-smp on a clean base target > vc1 gets the known error message "Installation step failed", > initrd-tools were downloaded as well ash as a cramfs package > but the kernel not, verified by a ls /target/boot > the last thing that is done is "setting up initrd tools" This is a bug in base-installer 0.082 that was fixed in 0.083; however, 0.083 has not been propagated to sarge. Joey, even though the bug should only show up with partitions >= 100GB, there is a separate bug in busybox that causes df to miscalculate sizes on 64-bit archs -- even the smallest of partitions are reported as multi-terabyte in size, so we always overflow the field width and base-installer 0.082 will never be able to install a kernel on alpha. Can we get 0.083 pushed into testing, even if it's just for alpha (and possibly ia64)? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
