Netinstall CD
Hi All,
I am sorry if this ground has been covered before but I could not find anything in the archives and
I have not been following this particular list.
When I install debian I often install it using the Netinstall CD using serial console and serial
console redirection instead of keyboard. Unfortunatly I am having problems with some serial bios
when the debian splash screen come up. The splash screen stops the serial console redirection from
working on certain systems so that i cannot type in the string necessary to install the system. A
simple solution to this problem is removing the isolinux splash screen from the netinstall CD.
Unfortunatly when I do this I get the following error "Non-Debian CD-ROM detected" during the detect
and mount phase of the installation.
I therefore have the following questions:
1) Does anybody maintain a netinstall CD without a graphical splash screen?
2) If answer to 1 is no does anybody think it might be a good idea?
3) If answer to 1 is no how does the install process test whether a netinstall CD is a debian CD and
which files should I modify to make the install think that it is.
