Package: installation-reports INSTALL REPORT Debian-installer-version: beta4 from http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/i386/beta4/ Date: May 2nd through 3rd JST Method: Boot off from beta4 CD. Tested 4 installs with the same machine. 1. expert(dmesg.2.4) 2. expert26(dmesg.2.6) 3. expert then install debian kernel image 2.6.5-1-386_2.6.5-4_i386.deb 4. expert26 then manually installed kernel source 2.6.5. Machine: DIY based on Tyan Tiger k8w Processor: 2 Opteron 240 Memory: 2GB Description: Primary Master: Maxtor 80GB Slave: None Secondary Master: LG DVD-RAM Slave: Yamaha CD-R/RW SATA0: Seagate 160GB SCSI MO: IOMEGA Gigamo USB Memory: 128MB Stick Root Device: /dev/hda Root Size/partition table: Currently hda is partitioned to install 6 differnt linux in a single partition. Also hde is configured to install 4 differnt linux in a single partitions, and 6 different linux using 3 partitions(/, /var, /usr) each. I am keeping many partitions in hde to test amd64 linux in different flavors. But before embarking on the 64-bit pure or biarch(32 & 64), I would like to find out current installation problems. ***Please make libata as an option in the coming new kernel image because current version forces SCSI disk implementation; thus forcing partitions up to 15 or 16.

What I can find as major bugs can be attributed to discover(the following 1,2,3,4,5), and kernel problems(1,2,6.7). Also the following dmesg are attached. 1. dmesg.2.4 booted by expert (I couldn't due to 3 files attach limit, but if needed I will) 2. dmesg.2.6.3 booted by expert26 3. dmesg.2.6.5 booted by expert, then installed debian k-image 2.6.5 4. dmesg.2.6.5.custom booted by expert26, then custom install kernel 2.6.5 Installation summary: Unload all IDE chipset support except siimage, and amd74xx. Detect network hardware manually. Unload ide-scsi in 2.6 because it is obsolete in 2.6.x Install lilo not grub Problems: Some of them are obtained by Shift-PageUp/Down at the start-up screen not through dmesg. After *** my own work-around is listed. Some of them you hate it. 1. Warning only 896MB will be used. Use a HIGHMEM enabled kernel. 896MB LOWMEM available. *** Recompile kernel 2. Can recognize 2 CPUs, but refuse to use it. *** Recompile kernel 3. Starting PCMCIA services: Linux Kernel Card Services options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] cardmgr[1718]: no sockets found! *** Purge popularity-contest ppp pcmcia-cs dhcp-client # dpkg --purge popularity-contest # dpkg --purge ppp pppoe pppoeconf pppconfig # dpkg --purge pcmcia-cs # dpkg --purge dhcp-client # rm -fr /etc/ppp Edit discover.conf to comment out both enable pcmcia, and enable isa 4. Skipping Module e1000. It's already loaded. *** Comment out e1000 at /etc/modules Worked! 5. Detecting hardware: e1000 aic7xxx i810_audio usb_uhci usb-uhci ehci_hcd ... FATAL: Module usb_uhci not found. Skipping usb_uhci module; assuming it is compiled into the kernel. FATAL: Module usb_uhci not found. Skipping usb-uhci module; assuming it is compiled into the kernel. *** Edit /etc/discover.conf to append. Work-around! skip usb_uhci skip usb-uhci 6. ** can't synthesize root hub events *** hotplug bug 7. Does not recognize SATA disk. *** kernel bug! But the following debian kernel forces libata versicn which currently emulate SCSI device; thus effectively ignoring partition above 16. Install a new kernel. # cd /usr/src # wget http://ring.asahi-net.or.jp/archives/linux/debian/debian/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.6.5-i386/kernel-image-2.6.5-1-386_2.6.5-4_i386.deb # dpkg -i kernel*.deb Edit /etc/modules to append siimage Again, thank you for your effort.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following reasons: - it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian Installer. - indications in the installation report give the feeling that the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to D-I, which we can't easily identify. - indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component - it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-) - it has no information we consider useful The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be still present, please reiterate your installation test with a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this. You'll find daily builds at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to install "squeeze" when prompted. If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent against installation-reports. Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian, past and present.
