Ok, I'll lock the machine to BabelBox for now. :-) >>> For wheezy, if you want to show GNOME 3 you need 3D, which means that >>> you should probably also install one of the firmware-* packages.

Ah, of course. I wondered why I needed extra firmware for the intel graphics card. Although extra firmware is needed for the wireless so I might as well install. >>> --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- >>> index 708775c..7d9bffc >>> --- a/preseed_late >>> +++ b/preseed_late >>> @@ -13,10 +13,20 @@ mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /hd-media -o remount,rw >>> >>> sed -i "s/^set default=.*$/set default=\"3\"/" /hd-media/boot/grub/grub.cfg >>> >>> +# Install extra packages, e.g. firmware needed for graphics cards >>> +for I in $(find /hd-media/srv/babelbox/ -type f -name \*.deb -maxdepth 1 >>> 2>&1) ; do >>> + cp -f "$I" /target/var/cache/apt/archives/ >>> + chroot /target dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/$(basename "$I") >>> +done >>> if [ -d /target/etc/gdm3 ] ; then >>> # Enable automatic login (chroot because of bug in busybox sed) >>> chroot /target sed -i "/^\[daemon\]/a\AutomaticLoginEnable = >>> true\nAutomaticLogin = debian" /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf >>> fi >>> +if [ -x /target/usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default-theme ] ; then >>> + # Set default plymouth theme >>> + chroot /target plymouth-set-default-theme spacefun >>> + chroot /target dpkg-reconfigure plymouth >>> +fi >>> >>> >>> exit 0 >>> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- >>> >>> Please report your experience :-) >> >> Of course! > > Do you mind testing everything without the above patch for preseed_late? > As I wrote above, you should not need the extra firmware packages and > the plymouth stuff is not fully tested. Removed plymouth and extra firmware. It still hangs on iso-scan of /dev/sda3 (the extended partition). A wild guess is that iso-scan can't handle it correctly, last thing in the logs state that it is waiting for /dev/sda2. (Is this a bug in iso-scan, being confused about how to handle extended partitions?) Can I prepare /dev/sda3 somehow? -- Per -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
