Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Tags: d-i At first I tried the syslinux way, but I was not able to boot from the Flash. So I formated the Flash to ext3 and used Grub2, then I copied the hd-media files and first installation CD ISO. Boot was succesfull, first part of installation was without problems, I used installation without network configuration. Last succesfull step was partitioning and formating (all in one ext4 partition + swap). The step "Install Base System" failed with the message: Debootstrap Error: Failed to determine the codename for the release
I did the debootstrap manually (manual mounting of the iso etc.) but then the installer was lost (step was not finished so following steps writes error messages, I ignored them and it seems that some steps was finished, but the system was not bootable) and I was not able to finish installation. -- Package-specific info: Boot method: USB Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso and http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ Date: 16.12.2010 evening Machine: Custom PC, Gigabyte motherboard, Intel i7 950, SATA HD Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system: [E] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [E] Overall install: [ ] Comments/Problems: <Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and ideas you had during the initial install.> -- Please make sure that the hardware-summary log file, and any other installation logs that you think would be useful are attached to this report.
