If you don't normally read my blog, check this out: http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/new_d-i_lab_machine/ The test logs are as always, here: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/test-logs.html Some of the failure for i386, amd64, mips* are real d-i issues, but I'm also dealing with some mirror problems ATM, so it'll be more accurate in a couple days. I've also just finished configuring it so that it uses qemu savevm before shutting down qemu after each test. This is especially handy for tests that failed, since you can run qemu on the same disk image again, and use 'loadvm 1' to restore the running d-i system that failed, and debug the problem. Without the bother of booting d-i and trying to reproduce it. If you don't think this is totally great, you've not wasted as much time debugging d-i as I have. :-) I want to again invite d-i developers to use this new machine if you need a fast machine to run qemu/kvm on for d-i testing or development, or if you want to get access to any of the disk images it saves of its test installs. Finally, if anyone can give me hints at booting d-i in an emulator in any of the arches I don't yet cover, that would be great. The digress test apparatus should work with any emulator that can output text. -- see shy jo
