Fwd: D-I Etch Beta2 - Status update (4)
Just an update regarding the hppa version.
I downloaded the netinstall iso and installed this on a c160.
Then only problem I had turned out to be an issue with initrd as documented
in the attached.
The net install worked perfectly - the installer is improved from the
previous version. The problem I encounted was a failure to boot
from the hard drive following the installation - attached is a copy of
the error.
To resolve it, I booted from the cd, mounted the partitions for / and /boot on
/mnt then
#cd /mnt
#chroot .
I installed the initrd-tools from the debian mirror, then in the
subdir /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount
#mv udev-helper udev_helper
then run mkinitrd to rebuild the initrd image with the renamed file.
After installing the new initrd image, the system booted normally.

Package: initramfs-tools
Severity: important
From the 0.52 changelog:
* scripts/init-premount/udev-helper: Renamed from scripts/init-premount/ide.
As - is not valid in shell variable names and initramfs-tools uses
shell variable names for handling dependencies, this will cause errors
like:
eval: 1: array_udev-helper=udev: not found
eval: 1: array_udev-helper=: not found
on boot.
Please rename the file to udev_helper to work around this.
