Package: debian-installer
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I installed the system from the floppies version (200703..), and almost
everything was ok (except several disk space problems witch I solved
by moving all the
*.deb files into a 250GB disk and then creating the suitable symbolic
inks) until the first
reboot. At that time the system restarted but the grub halted with the
following error:

Grub.....
root (hd0,0)
  Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
kernel 7boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-5-k7 root=/dev/hda1 ro

Error 17: cannot mount selected partition



The system is equipped with the following disks:
/dev/hda1 = Micro$oft 2000
/dev/hda2 = the /boot partition directory (ext3)

/dev/hdc = CDRW 400 - Philips: CD recorder
/dev/hdd1 = seagate barracuda disck mounted on /mnt/D (ext3)

/dev/sda1 = the / partition (ext3)
/dev/sda2 = the swap partition


Using the floppies I started a rescue session that helped me to see
how the /etc/fstab fiel is almost empty, and contains only the
following line:

#UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM


No partitions have been mounted, neither the swap one that I had
to activate using the "swap /dev/sda2" command.

Of course, the setup process did not restarted with the rescue session

The problem remembered me the Bug#445148 but there is no a fsck fail...

Thanks in advance
P.

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.
