Package: installation-reports INSTALL REPORT Debian-installer-version: svn-up run just before install, and network-console built at that point; network-console put into localudebs. uname -a: Linux di 2.4.26-1-s390 #1 SMP Sun Apr 25 16:48:39 CEST 2004 s390 GNU/Linux Date: Thursday, July 01 2004, 10 AM CDT Method: IPL from virtual card deck, using ftp.us.debian.org as network source Machine: Multiprise 3000 H70 Processor: S390 Memory: 64MB virtual machine Root Device: /dev/dasd/0150/part1 (3390-3 ECKD, minidisk) Root Size/partition table: 1000 cylinders (703 MB) Output of lspci and lspci -n: n/a Base System Installation Checklist: ÝO¨ = OK, ÝE¨ = Error (please elaborate below), Ý ¨ = didn't try it Initial boot worked: Ý O¨ Configure network HW: Ý O¨ Config network: Ý O¨ Detect CD: Ý ¨ Load installer modules: Ý O¨ Detect hard drives: Ý O¨ Partition hard drives: Ý O¨ Create file systems: Ý O¨ Mount partitions: Ý O¨ Install base system: Ý O¨ Install boot loader: Ý E¨ Reboot: Ý E¨ Comments/Problems: FBA disks can be detected but not formatted. It would be nice if there were a way to use preformatted swap, like we could with Woody, since I use SWAPGEN to write a swap signature to a DIAG-accessible FBA V-DISK before booting. ("formatted" is misspelled as "formated" in the device partitioning stage, too.) The network config stuff now works, at least for qeth. modutils does *not* correctly uncomment "alias eth0 qeth" but I have already filed a bug against that. IUCV doesn't work and I'll take a look at that soon. Then network-console is started and I SSHed in; this worked fine too, although the border characters were strange--this may be, however, due to my locale setting in my X Session or something. In any event it didn't harm functionality. After that, everything still goes fine up to the boot loader installation. That still writes an incorrect parm line. However, by applying the attached patch to zipl-installer.postinst, the correct parm line will be written (the symlink issue has been fixed). After that, reboot does not work. On manual /sbin/halt and reipl from disk, ssh is not started, so it's still necessary to fix /etc/modutils/arch/s390, run /sbin/update-modules, reIPL, remove /etc/securetty and start inetd. Once you do that, you can telnet in and run base-config, and everything works as expected. Low memory installation still gets a failure when freeing memory, but otherwise behaves identically.

I'm pretty sure network-console fixed this bug a while ago, but since base-config no longer needs to be run, it's certianly irrelevant now. Closing. -- see shy joAttachment: signature.asc
