Hello! I've tested etch-test today several times and there are several problems: 1.) initramfs-tools need a dir to exist (/etc/mkinitramfs) and you have to create it manually to make the installer work. 2.) finish-install doesn't run properly, because the postinst script of finish-install need the options -k and -t for sort, but our busybox version in our initrd supports only the -n option. 3.) the newest etch-test image fails to install, because the installer found no suitable kernel-modules for the kernel he wants to install (linux-image-2.6.15-1). This is quite strange, because there is a newer on on the cd (linux-image-2.6.16-2). If I manually remove the 2.5.15 image from the cd (and remaster it) the installer try to install the correct kernel version. ---------------- solution for.... 2.) I've created an new inird image, this image works partly: - the installer doesn't recognise all languages for installation: only c and english is supported. - the dialog frontend of debconf looks horrible - BUT the installer finished properly (because of the newer busybox version) 3.) create a blacklist file in svn and exclude all debs which are listed there. (Then we could exclude for the time both kernel version are in etch the kernel-version we doesn't want, etc. pp.) Thanks to Steffen that I mustn't wait so much time until the next image is ready! ;-) Greetings Patrick
