Bug#172242: installation-reports: library missing?



* Felix Groebert 

| net-1440.img initrd=net-initrd.gz
| -> "Cannot load a ramdisk with an old kernel image."
| 
| vmlinuz initrd=net-initrd.gz
| -> the following bug report is about this.
| 
| did I enter the boot line correctly? somehow I feel that I missed the
| net-1440.img file?

This is correct.  The net-1440.img is a floppy image, to be written to
floppy.

| Initial boot worked:    [yes ]
| Configure network HW:   [ E ]
| Config network:         [ O ]
| Detect CD:              [ ]
| Load installer modules: [ E ]
| Detect hard drives:     [ ]
| Partition hard drives:  []
| Create file systems:    [ ]
| Mount partitions:       [ ]
| Install base system:    []
| Install boot loader:    [ ]
| Reboot:                 []
| [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
| 
| Comments/Problems:
| rtl8139 could not be found, so I  modprobe'd -v 8139too and there my
| NIC popped up.

Known issue.  Fixed once we have discover2.

| "/usr/bin/debian-installer/retriever/net-retriever: error while
| loading shared libraries: libdebconf.so.0.3 cannot open shared object:
| No such file or directory"
| 
| and then
| "Segmentation fault
| postinst exited with status 35584"
| 
| and then I am back in the main menu.
| 
| I would be glad if you could reply on what -I guess- _I_ did wrong.

This looks like you aren't using the correct image.  I have manually
verified that the net-retriever in net-initrd.gz from
http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/images/2002-12-07/cvs/net-initrd.gz
(md5sum d14a3e41cf8e1dcaab7c5fec2b39ea1d) does _not_ link against
libdebconf.so.0.3.

It sounds like you have the older, broken net-1440.img.  (The working
one is dated 08-Dec-2002 03:14)
