daily build doesn't work - details at end Christian PERRIER wrote:

We know that this pages says "Please first test alpha1 images" but we're currently in the release preparation step and Alpha1 images are more or less broken as of now....and testing them anyway doesn't help that much (yes, we should fix the page...).Comments/Problems: USB installer could not find .iso image After booting, the installer starts up, but when it gets to the point of looking for a .iso image, it reports mounting and scanning both my hard drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb) and the usb stick (/dev/sdc1) - but then reports not finding any .iso files. It then asks if I want to do a more thorough search - which exhibits the same failure. As far as I can tell, by escaping to a shell, it has mounted the USB stick (as /hd-media) and there's a .iso image listed under /hd-media.Not sure that daily builds fix this. If they do, we'll close the bug. If they don't, we have an RC issue..:-)
Just tried with the daily build - usingvmlinuz dated 9/13/10 10:04 from http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/hd-media/vmlinuz initrd.gz dated 9/13/10 10:04 from http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/hd-media/initrd.gz mini.iso dated 9/13/10 10:04 from http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/netboot/mini.iso
installer starts up, gives the standard language selection, etc., then: - error: no .iso found- continue to menu, tell it to look for iso, I can see it mount both hard disks and USB stick (both /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc); then comes back with the same error and asks if I want to do a more thorough search, answer yes
- comes back with "failed to find an installer iso image"tried to save debug logs to mounted file system, it gave me /hd-media as default, continued - got "installation step failed" message, with no further details
exit to shell, ls /hd-media - sure looks like the USB stick, with mini.iso showing; seems like the stick is mounted ro, remounted as rw
back to installer, saved debug log - step completed (seemingly) successfully - but there's no debug log on the stick, nor can I find anything that looks like a debug log anywhere
