RE: Lenny 501 and presseding

[Frédéric DONNAT <fdonnat@mailinblack.com>]

Sorry, its a mistake on mine.. ;(

The problem comes from one of our package that reset the hostname..

Everything is ok in debian Etch, but this fails on Debian Lenny.. We have to find out why.. but it's not due to debian installer.

Regards

Fred

Hi,
I could sucessfully update my keyboard option.. using isolinux option.

So everything is quite fine except for the system hostname.

My preseed file is as follow:
d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true

d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.0.1
d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.0.13
d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0
d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.0.1
d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true

d-i netcfg/get_hostname string mibox-v4
d-i netcfg/get_domain string mailinblack.dev

and the domainname seems to be good, but the hostname file remains empty...  ;(

Could someone points me in the right direction to solve the problem?

Regards

Fred
PS:
I see the following comment.. but how can I be sure it is really disabled ?

# Any hostname and domain names assigned from dhcp take precedence over
# values set here. However, setting the values still prevents the questions
# from being shown, even if values come from dhcp.

Hi,
So here is my piece of code in preseed file:
d-i preseed/late_command string mount -o bind /cdrom /target/cdrom; \
        in-target /cdrom/mailinblack/install.sh; \
        umount /target/cdrom

Now I'm facing new problems... ;(
The keymap and the hostname are not properly set...

Keymap:
=======
- Installation process: in the isolinux.cfg file I use: console-keymaps-at/keymap=fr
This works fine with debian etch but fails with lenny.
- Installation: in the preseed file I set:
d-i console-keymaps-at/keymap select fr
but this doest not set the keymap.. in debian lenny (it's ok in etch).. Shuld I set set 'console-keymaps-at/keymap' too?

Hostname:
=========
I set:
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string my_hostname
d-i netcfg/get_domain string my_domain

And the hostname is not properly set..
The domain is set in the /etc/network/interface /etc/resolv.conf files but the /etc/hostname is empty..

I have disable the dhcp configuration using 'd-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true' to avoid the dhcp setting precedence.. Should I also set ' d-i netcfg/dhcp_options select Configure network manually' ?

If needed I could provide the installer logs.

Regards

Fred

Ah, yes. That is correct. For Lenny the cd is only mounted in the /target 
environment on demand by apt-cdrom in order to be able to support CD 
changing during the installation of packages.

Make sure you unmount the CD again at the end of your script or things 
might blow up (although that's somewhat unlikely to happen at the late 
stage preseed/late is executed).
