(ppp-udeb 2.4.4rel-2) On line 34, the $P needs to be somewhere other than directly between the -I and the $1, as when $P has the value -U, pppoe-discovery tries to use the ethernet device -U, which fails. Also on line 34, the file stderr is redirected to is /tmp/ppp-errors but for the rest of the file this is referred to as /tmp/ppp-error, causing detection of the timeouts to fail. I suspect the rm -f /tmp/probe-finished on line 31 probably should be a rm -f /tmp/probe-finished /tmp/ppp-error and moved to before line 34 so the script doesn't detect timeouts from a previous loop iteration. There's a typo on line 39 "Timout". Line 51 (log probe-finished) prolly should be outside the while [ ! -f /tmp/probe-finished ] It'd be nice if pppoe-discovery returned immediately on detection of any PPPoE Access Concentrator, rather than continuing to listen for further reponses, as it is being used only to determine if any access concentrators are out there. This'd reduce false timeout logs. Anyway, with these fixes, it seems to work OK, although the resolv.conf test on line 196 also seemed to fail for me after the pppoe detection had succeeded but ppp failed to dial up, so I suspect that -e is the wrong test. (I'm guessing it's returning false for a dangling symlink) or the ln -s should be ln -sf. Even though the script returned failure, the link came up and things worked. == The HPT370 problem comes up because GRUB uses a hard disk sector which the HPT370 BIOS uses for its own purposes. The hard solution is to have the stage1_5 file (or the equivalent under grub2, both suffer this problem) write to a later sector. The easy solution would be to detect if we're installing grub onto a HPT370 disk, and use the Debian MBR with grub installed onto the /boot partition as when doing multiboot. Details of the grub/HPT370 conflict at [1], and the hard fix at [2]. I couldn't see an obvious way to do the hard fix using the install-grub scripts, nor how it all works under grub2. There's also a relevant thread at [3]... Apparently RedHat has patched their grub to detect and work around this... I haven't confirmed this, and I think the "easy solution" above is prolly a cleaner fix in this case. This bug manifests as an Error 17 (for me) or error 21 (seen on google) on rebooting, after everything appears to be working fine. If someone has a RAID array set up, it'll prolly manifest as the array losing it's 'nana. ^_^ [1] http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?2394 [2] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2004-07/msg00113.html [3] http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-grub@gnu.org/msg09759.html Yes, this bug has been open but uncommented on since 2003... -_- == I didn't format the xfs partition with d-i, as the wiki suggested that was broken, and I'd already had to reinstall once due to changing from another board to the HPT370 board. -- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, Paul.Hampson@Pobox.com Shorter .sig for a more eco-friendly paperless office.Attachment: pgpfPAsT74182.pgp

Hi, similar to the installation-reports bugs, I'm closing the grub-installer reports below. These are reports for Debian 4 / 6 / 7 / 9 where grub-installer fails (for various reasons). There have been numerous changes/improvements on this topics in the past, and also because of the age of the reports we should consider these problems as being fixed (or it is even reported in the bugs that they are fixed). They are most likely of no use anymore for recent releases. If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still existing in recent installation images, please file a new report for that with up-to-date details! Thank you for filing these bug reports, they have been very useful at the time they were filed! https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785149 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=489005 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=610116 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611713 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612420 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621923 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=647267 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659116 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=665856 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666552 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668923 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686955 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690515 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=690592 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=702731 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729411 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=771467 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=780115 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806164 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806849 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=416986 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=252009 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=292513 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=310798 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=391489 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=489006 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578338 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582367 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=229128 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=463842 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=497168 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500079 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516392 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520361 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544949 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=549703 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557242 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580461 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=587699 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588670 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=596877 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=612025 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=618498 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=639713 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666559 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=699456 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703901 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707604 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=711330 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609939 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498831 Cheers Holger -- Holger Wansing <hwansing@mailbox.org> PGP-Fingerprint: 496A C6E8 1442 4B34 8508 3529 59F1 87CA 156E B076
