Re: Bug#593811: debian-installer: DHCP requests restart Livebox modem/router



In this bug's investigation, we might need help from other French
users who have/use a Livebox from Orange. If you followup, please:
- do it in English preferrably (if you can't, then I'll translate)
- keep the bug CC'ed (593811@bugs.debian.org)

...in the Livebox, sure..:-)

In order to debug this, you probably need to get logs from D-I (in
/var/log/debian-installer on the installed system).....and from the
Livebox itself. I'am fairly sure that the meaningful logs are the
Livebox ones.

So, well, I'd suggest reporting this to Orange, particularly if you
have no way to SSH into the Livebox.

Have other French users been able to reproduce this?

(not owning a Livebox myself, thankfully for me, I can't try
reproducing/debugging this)


It should be easy to reproduce the problem as it happens in the early
phases of the installation process, before anything is written on
disks....so you can try on an installed machine without risks. It just
needs booting an installation ISO (not a lenny ISO, but rather a daily
build of D-I from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer....see
the full bug log at http://bugs.debian.org/593811).
