Bug#395411: debian-installer: [daily 20061026] fails to set up route + fails to see mirrors
Package: debian-installer
Severity: critical
Justification: prevents install
Downloaded the daily etch netinst ISO image from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
Booted fine on a ThinkPad T42, detected CD drive and built-in
Intel PRO/1000 net card.
Problem 1: DHCP gets the machine an IP address, but I get the
message:
"The network autoconfiguration was successful. However, no
default route was set ... Continue without a default route?"
This is strange, because if I continue installation selecting
'Yes', keeps hitting Enter (giving no name server, no domain
name, etc.), no network mirror, install from CD only,
install GRUB, and reboot the newly installed system, the route
is set fine:
"debian:~# route
...
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 ...
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 ..."
by the default configuration:
"debian:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
...
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp"
Problem 2: If I instead choose 'No', and configure the
network manually, choose any network mirror, the installer
tells me:
"The installer failed to access the mirror. ..."
But if I inspect VT4, I can see that what is tried is:
"wget -q http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/debian//dists/testing/main/binary-i386/Release -O -
| grep Architecture"
If I do that from the VT3, it works fine.
I guess is missing a
"| cut -d' ' -f 2"
at the end?
Cheers,
/JP
