Quoting Miles Fidelman (mfidel...@meetinghouse.net):
Package: installation-reports
Boot method: USB Installer
Image version: download of testing files dated 9/10/10 per USB install
instructions
Please use the *daily built* images from
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer....not the alpha1 images.
We know that this pages says "Please first test alpha1 images" but
we're currently in the release preparation step and Alpha1 images are
more or less broken as of now....and testing them anyway doesn't help
that much (yes, we should fix the page...).
Comments/Problems: USB installer could not find .iso image
After booting, the installer starts up, but when it gets to the point of
looking for a .iso image, it reports mounting and scanning both my hard
drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb) and the usb stick (/dev/sdc1) - but then
reports not finding any .iso files. It then asks if I want to do a more
thorough search - which exhibits the same failure.
As far as I can tell, by escaping to a shell, it has mounted the USB
stick (as /hd-media) and there's a .iso image listed under /hd-media.
Not sure that daily builds fix this. If they do, we'll close the
bug. If they don't, we have an RC issue..:-)
Just tried with the daily build - using
vmlinuz dated 9/13/10 10:04 from
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/hd-media/vmlinuz
initrd.gz dated 9/13/10 10:04 from
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/hd-media/initrd.gz
mini.iso dated 9/13/10 10:04 from
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/netboot/mini.iso
installer starts up, gives the standard language selection, etc., then:
- error: no .iso found
- continue to menu, tell it to look for iso, I can see it mount both
hard disks and USB stick (both /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc); then
comes back with the same error and asks if I want to do a more thorough
search, answer yes
- comes back with "failed to find an installer iso image"
tried to save debug logs to mounted file system, it gave me /hd-media as
default, continued - got "installation step failed" message, with no
further details
exit to shell, ls /hd-media - sure looks like the USB stick, with
mini.iso showing; seems like the stick is mounted ro, remounted as rw
back to installer, saved debug log - step completed (seemingly)
successfully - but there's no debug log on the stick, nor can I find
anything that looks like a debug log anywhere
