Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot worked: [O]
Configure network HW: [O] (wired ethernet, e1000)
Config network: [O] (DHCP)
Detect CD: [O] (machine doesn't have a CD drive)
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [ ] (done manually in shell on tty2)
Create file systems: [O]
Mount partitions: [O]
Install base system: [E]
Install boot loader: [E]
Reboot: [E]
Comments/Problems:
I did the partitioning proper in the shell on tty2. Then, used the
partman in debian-installer to create filesystems, LVM VG and LV,
etc.
The mkinitrd of postrm of the kernel fails because only hda1 through
hda20 are created in /target/dev. After manual creation of hda21
through hda63 and 'rm -r' of everything except dev and var/cache/apt
in /target, base system install works OK.
Then, grub install finished without error, but grub is misconfigured:
Its groot was at (hd0,0) instead of (hd0,4) and the root= option
passed to the kernel was at /dev/hda1. The path to the kernel and
initrd image were also incorrect: They contain a /boot prefix which
shouldn't be there (/boot on separate partition).
This all leads to grub being unable to boot Linux.
/etc/fstab isn't created either; it contains only:
# UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM
(Hmm... I'm starting to think that maybe the /etc/fstab was created by
the "partition" step, not "install base system" and that I thus
deleted it when I shouldn't. But the original reason I started to
delete things in /target/ is that the "install base system" step is
not idempotent. This would be better for robustness and manual
fiddling.)

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
