Bug#518174: debian-installer: latest armel initrd breaks qemu hard disk.
Package: debian-installer
Version: latest
Severity: normal
initrd from http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/armel/images/daily/versatile/netboot/initrd.gz
kernel from http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armel/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-versatile
above kernel known to work with the system image in same folder on my system w/ qemu-system-arm.
steps:
qemu-img create debian-lenny.img 512M
qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-versatile -initrd initrd -hda
debian-lenny.img -net nic,vlan=1 -net user,vlan=1 -m 256
everything works until hard disk detection where no disk is detected. If i do
qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-versatile -initrd
initrd.img-2.6.26-1-versatile -hda debian_lenny_armel_small.qcow -hdb debian-lenny.img -append
"root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyAMA0" --nographic -net nic,vlan=1 -net user,vlan=1 -m 256
with the disk image from http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armel/ then the disk shows up
fine, i even formatted it.
update: official from
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-armel/current/images/versatile/netboot/initrd.gz
works. :)
