Bug#265420: Acknowledgement (hppa testing rc1 failure)
I was able to get the system installed using rc1 in a very roundabout way:
I created the partition table automatically using rc1 and selecting
the option to use a single partition.
They were created as follows:
SCSI1 (0,1,0) (sda) - 4.2 GB SEAGATE ST34573N #
> #1 primary 33.7 MB K #
> #2 primary 130.8 MB K ext2 /boot #
> #5 logical 3.9 GB B K ext3 / #
> #6 logical 194.1 MB K swap swap #
I then netbooted with lifimage from woody.
I formatted and test mounted /boot as ext2 and / as ext3. They worked
fine so I unmounted and rebooted.
Next I netbooted using rc1.
I chose manual partitioning and configured the partitions to be
mounted on the appropriate mount points, but not formatted.
The installer proceeded and everything appeared to work fine.
I rebooted the system and it needed to fsck /
/dev/sda5: Backing up journal inode block information.
/dev/sda5 has gone 49419 days without being checked, check forced.
/dev/sda5: ***** REBOOT LINUX *****
/dev/sda5: 10465/480960 files (0.7% non-contiguous), 69162/960651 blocks
Once the system rebooted again it did an fsck on /boot and everything started
up as normal.
I'm sure this report isn't as helpful as it would be if I had access to a
second virtual console, but unfortunately the hardware simply doesn't allow
it. :(
