Bug#802683: Fails to automatically find iso on /dev/sdh
Package: iso-scan
Version: 1.53
Severity: important
Tags: d-i
Hi,
I'm trying to install using a custom USB-stick, as described here:
https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/i386/ch04s03.html.en
I followed the instructions there, copying
debian-8.0.2-amd64-netinst.iso into the top directory of the USB stick.
The system I'm installing on (sorry, the info below is my desktop, not
the target system) has 7 drives in, and the USB stick[0] appears as
/dev/sdh in the installer.
I'm using preseed, and the installer gets to doing iso-scan, but fails
to actually find the .iso.
Oddly, though, if I then follow through the menus thus:
[Continue] at the failed-to-find-ISO prompt
Scan hard drives
select /dev/sdh
[installer finds the ISO, so say yes]
The installer then says:
"Successfully mounted FIXME installer ISO image"
The ISO file debian-8.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso on /dev/sdh (FIXME) will be
used as the installation ISO image
[if I select Continue at this point, the installation proceeds happily]
I think this is a bug - the installer clearly *can* find my ISO it just
isn't doing so...
Thanks,
Matthew
[0] strictly, it's a fake USB stick provided by passing the image to the
RMM's USB-stick device redirection menu
