Comments/Problems:
0.) HP ProLiant systems have a remote management device called an "intergrated
Lights Out" ("iLO"). This device intercepts the system's vga text and keyboard
and makes it available via telnet. As long as the system stays in vga text
mode it works great but if you try to use framebuffer it tells you "the system
is in graphics mode". So I am able to start the installer with
"debian-installer/framebuffer=false" and that works fine. The problem is that
the initial bootloader uses a framebuffer splash screen. If you know to hit F1
at that point then you get the text back and boot without framebuffer. Is
there going to be be boot media for i386 that doesn't use the spash screen?
1.) The installer correctly determined that the system has two "BROADCOM
Corporation NetXtreme BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet", and I can pick one, but...
2.) The installer complains that "eth0 does not seem to be connected to any
sort of network." even though a working network cable is connected (I know
this because it worked with the previous woody install). Looking on the dhcp
server I don't see a dhcp request. I'm given the options "Go Back", "Yes", and
"No". The option "Go Back" doesn't and proceeded to ask me for the hostname.
"Yes" allows me to configure statically and that works fine. If I configure
statically when I get to the hostname/domain config screens the hostname and
domain are pre-inserted so I know the networking is working and it was able to
do a lookup.
3.) This system uses a Compaq SmartArray controller which uses the cciss
driver and weird /dev names. It found the single controller and worked great!
So good job on that. I will try to test with multiple configured arrays and
multiple controllers if I get a chance.
4.) I tried the guided partitioning thing and it looks like "single", "one
partition for /home", and "multiuser" all picked reasonable partition sizes.
If you know what you're doing this works fine but I predict that these screens
will be "scary" to people without Debian experience (like reviewers).
5.) During the base install, the installer complained "debootstrap exited with
an error (return value 1)" /var/log/messages says
=======================================================================
Errors were encountered while processing:
exim4-daemon-light
at
exim4
exim4-config

=======================================================================
looking in the logs it appears to be exim4-config with the problem,
=======================================================================
Setting up exim4-config (4.34-4) ...

dpkg: error processing exim4-config (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
=======================================================================
(The "hostname: Host name lookup failure" shows up if I didn't configure the
network by hand when it failed in #2. If I do then it goes away. The rest is
the same regardless)
If I attempt to proceed with installing grub it tries to run the base install
again with the same result.
I used a shell to chroot into /target but the system is not yet self aware
dpkg-wise so I couldn't install anything.
Installation failed :)

Version: 1.02

Urgency: low
Maintainer: Debian Install System Team <debian-boot@lists.debian.org>
Changed-By: Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>
Description:
netcfg - Configure the network (udeb)
netcfg-dhcp - Configure the network via DHCP (udeb)
netcfg-static - Configure a static network (udeb)
Closes: 269081 269081 269236
Changes:
netcfg (1.02) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Colin Watson
- Ask netcfg/get_nameservers at priority critical; if you're doing
static network configuration, you probably need to be asked this.
* Joshua Kwan
- Rip out mii-diag support. Incidentally, this closes the 'Go Back'
bugs regarding a template that now no longer exists.
(Closes: #269081, #269236)
- Code consolidation - don't duplicate the code that writes resolv.conf
* Thomas Hood
- Change function of backup button from netcfg/dhcp_options so that
instead of causing an exit from netcfg it backs up to the
choose-interface question (if there is more than one interface)
(Closes: #269081)
* Joey Hess
- Remove mii-diag-udeb dependencies, which were bogus even before mii-diag
support was removed.
- Allow netcfg/choose_interface to be preseeded to just an interface name,
don't choke on the lack of a colon after it.
