Bug#292570: installer in sarge - unusable on HPPA
Package: installation-reports
Debian-installer-version: 27 Jan 2005
uname -a: Linux (none) 2.6.8-1-32 #1 Tue Nov 2 13:22:22 MST 2004 parisc
unknown
Date: 27 January 2005 23:30
Method: Tried a cdrom install. Booted from cdrom. Didn't detected the
cdrom drive (ide) after install, didn't had the devices in /dev (was
using devfs which is obsoleted in kernel 2.6)
Machine: HP Visualize C3000
Processor: PA8500 (PCX-W)
Memory: 1G
Root Device: ???? /dev/ram ?
Root Size/partition table: no partition table. It wasn't able to detect
the IDE cdrom
Output of lspci and lspci -n: ~ # lspci
sh: lspci: not found
Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot worked: [O]
Configure network HW: [E] had to manually insmod the driver
Config network: [ ]
Detect CD: [E] the kernel doen't seem to have support for IDE
os SCSI

Install base system: [ ]
Install boot loader: [ ]
Reboot: [O]
Comments/Problems:
At first i tried to boot the cdrom with normal console (sti graphics and
usb keyboard).The installer hung at Language select.
Rebooted with power button then i set up a serial console and boot the
cdrom through serial console. The boot worked but:
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_alloc_urb
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_free_urb
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_register
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_submit_urb
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_deregister
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_string
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_unlink_urb
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_buffer_free
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_buffer_alloc

usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_deregister
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_string
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_unlink_urb
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_buffer_free
usbkbd: Unknown symbol usb_buffer_alloc
That's why i couldn't use the keyboard ;-(
This time the language and country selection works. The installer doesn't
detect the cdrom. Is prompting for a driver floppy disk (AFAIK there is no
floppy disk support on HPPA machines). Then presents me alist of modules
to choose from. The list has only one member: "none". It works as expected
;-). Searching for an ide module:
~ # find / -name ide\* -print
~ # find / -name ide* -print
returns no result
The network card was not detected at boot. I had to manually insert the
driver.
Dmesg (after manuualy inserting the tulip driver and after i tried to
insmod the usb keyboard driver is attached).

Bugs:1. It should have at least support for the system on which is
running. More than half of the devices of the system were not detected.
2. It shouldn't talk about floppy when there is no floppy support in
kernel.
3. It should have alias devices in /dev/. Devfs is obsolete and is really
messy to use it's devices to specify a boot device
4. On /etc should be a file debian-release or something like this because
there is no way to guess the version of the installer
Thanks anyway for your work.
Bye
Calin
P.S. The same saga for 64 bit kernel ;-(
