Hi, I'm currently trying to run the Debian Wheezy installer on the Xinghuo 3A 6100 mini-itx computer [1]. I thought that just taking a working and "properly configured" kernel, and booting it with a Debian mipsel installer initrd image from here [6] should do the trick. It used to work well back in the days on a Fuloong 6004 with the Debian Squeeze installer. However, with my current attempts the installer fails at the "retrieving installer components" step, i.e. pretty early. I don-t understand much about the D-I, and it doesn't output any helpful (log)messages, but it looks like the anna net-retriever default command may be the culprit. Running it manually from the console results in a segfault. Checking my http proxy's logfile, the last thing downloaded by the installer was this [5] Packages.gz. I'm using the kernel built from linux-mips.org master [2] (859a350909), my kernel config is [3] and the resulting image can be found here [4]. Any ideas how to progress any further? Any ideas how a non-debian kernel can interfere with the installer to result in segfaults? cheers, David [1] http://www.lemote.com/products/computer/fulong/348.html [2] git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/linux [3] http://mosquito.dyndns.tv/david/loongson/config-3.14.0-loongson3a-ralf [4] http://mosquito.dyndns.tv/david/loongson/vmlinuz-3.14.0-loongson3a-ralf [5] http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian//dists/wheezy/non-free/debian-installer/binary-mipsel/Packages.gz [6] ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-mipsel/current/images/loongson-2f/netboot/ -- GnuPG public key: http://dvdkhlng.users.sourceforge.net/dk2.gpg Fingerprint: B63B 6AF2 4EEB F033 46F7 7F1D 935E 6F08 E457 205F
