Package: debian-installer
Severity: important
I am testing Wheezy. Good deal! However I am running into some
differences from Squeeze that are causing problems. Here is the
first. I can't preseed the keyboard with Wheezy. Works fine with
Squeeze. But Wheezy stops and asks the keyboard question.
I am specifying "console-keymaps-at/keymap=us locale=en_US" on the
command line but it is being ignored. This is a regression from
Squeeze. It prevents an automated installation.
I am using kvm and libvirt as the easiest way to reproduce this
problem with exactly the following command:
virt-install \
--name daze \
--ram 256 \
--vcpus 1 \
--hvm \
--nographics \
--disk path=/home/images/daze.img,size=3 \
--os-type linux \
--os-variant debianwheezy \
--network bridge:br0 \
--location http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/ \
--extra-args "console=ttyS,9600n8 initrd=debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz console-keymaps-at/keymap=us locale=en_US interface=auto hostname=localhost domain=localdomain auto url=http://internal/debian/preseed-kvm.cfg";
Using s/wheezy/squeeze/g on the above works okay and preseeds the keyboard.
Thanks,
Bob
