Bug#606227: 'DVD set' scan, debian-squeeze-di-beta1-i386-DVD-2 label missing from install screen.
Reply-to: 602129@bugs.debian.org
Package: installation-reports
Christian, Sorry my submit was received in a scrambled format.
I do not know why. (I might try taking out the Tabs if it reoccurs.)
Here is a resend of my original bug#606227 submission, with my original detail for problem analysis and determination,
and to see if it worked ok, as my other submissions seem to be getting through ok.
I hope my resend of detail helps someone. It is meant to. I am new to this and I am learning.
I will see and learn where I should post resends.
To either my original bug#606227 or reasigned bug#602421. I know not both in future.
In case of formatting issues again; Composed in OpenOffice .odt v3.1.0 , emailed with Firefox 3.6.8 )

DASD chip: On-motherboard HPT370 raid controller 2001 www.highpoint-tech.com (hardware raid)
Not used by me for 'hardware raid'. The HPT370 is used by me, only for the fast disk control bus.
Linux Debian MDADM Software raid will be used when I can get that far into the 'squeeze-di-Beta1' install.
Onboard Hipoint HPT370 UDMA/ATA100 RAID controller BIOS v01.11.0402
HPT370 BIOS Setting Utility screen button F1 toggles the view ARRAY STATUS shows no array or devices. Good!
screen button F1 toggles the view CHANNEL STATUS which shows the devices:
DASD: quantity two: IBM-DTLA-307030 drives, primary master and secondary master,
Mode UDMA5 size 30Gb each, as HDD0 and HDD1 both attached to the HPT370 controller. Good!
HPT370 Bios Setting Utility option 7. Set Boot Disk: I have set no disk as Boot Disk here,
as I believe the 'Linux Software Raid Array' is the place to specify /dev/md2 /boot as bootable in partition manager, which I have set.
IDE Primary master: none.
IDE Primary slave: Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAP (I do not use this.)
IDE Secondary master: LITE-ON LTR-16102B DVD rewriter (I use this all the time.)
IDE Secondary slave: none.

Comments/Problems:
I came across three squeeze-di-beta1 issues, and two wish list items.
I will report them in seperate reports.
(Issue 1 of 3.)
Using graphical installer:

The CD or DVD with the following label has been scanned:
Debian GNU/Linux squeeze-di-beta1_Squeeze_-Official Beta i386 DVD Binary-1 20101027-01:46
If you wish to scan another CD or DVD, please insert it now.
Scan another CD or DVD? (Yes)

The CD or DVD with the following label has been scanned:
If you wish to scan another CD or DVD, please insert it now.
Scan another CD or DVD? (No, as I only have two DVD's to install on purpose.)

Note: Did you notice that the Binary-2 label was missing on that last scan screen ? THIS is the issue.
The Binary-2 iso image md5sum was previously calculated and correct.
QUESTION:
How do I use the 'Debian Installer Main Menu' (di-mm) to check the squeeze-di-beta1 Binary-2 DVD on debian installer's integrity checker. This brings me nicely to my 'Wish List Item, number 1.' for a separate report.

However, the tty4 log screen shows to the last entry:

( End of log.)
Yes, the Binary-1 was scanned and used by di-mm 'Debian Installer-Main Menu', ok, earlier in this log.

Having read: Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide 5.4.1.2. How to investigate and maybe solve issues
If the CD-ROM fails... etc.
Using a newer/younger machine that downloaded and created the two, Squeeze-di-Beta-1, DVD set.
I seem to get a long loop, 100% cpu utilisation status, for at least 38 minutes before I cancel the job using :-
Ubuntu Release 8.04 (hardy):~$ sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom0 | > head -c `stat --format=%s /home/ben/0-downloads/debian-squeeze-di-beta1-i386/debian-squeeze-di-beta1-i386-DVD-2.iso` | > md5sum
sudo: unable to resolve host ...
Note: The cutting and checksum verification are not processed on the older target machine, so it does not prove much.
I would like to check the Binary-2 being read on the older target machine.
I am beginning to believe that this MAY be a digression, but it would be nice to eradicate this option.
On yet another install, (about 9th) it still showed the same symptoms of; 'No label after the scan of diskette DVD-2'.
Diskette Binary-2 was cut twice, once with Brasero, and once with K3b, Data verified ok, after being cut.
With both cuts, the modulus MD5SUM was correct;
1dd86a90e9ed91df1df01d23492f953e debian-squeeze-di-beta1-i386-DVD-2.iso
Yes, the DVD was cut and verified / checksummed on a different machine and drive; Pioneer DVR-110 with updated firmware.
Thank you Christian, for any help forthcoming. Regards, McTech.
