Re: Unable too boot after fresh install of latest "testing"
I tried to install from
/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cddebian-testing-amd64-kde-CD-1.iso
(dd'd to a USB disk) when I ran into all these problems. Today I tried
again with the latest debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso, using full disk
encryption and btrfs on /. No problems at all. The machine boots and I'm
happy :)
There is obviously a bug in the installer in
iso-cddebian-testing-amd64-kde-CD-1.iso. How/where is the the
appropriate place to report that?
