Package: debian-installer-7.0-netboot-mips Severity: important Tags: d-i patch
Dear Maintainer, During an new installation of wheezy on an SGI O2 the partitioning step failed. I was using the netboot image from /debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-mips/ current/images/r5k-ip32, dating from 14th of December 2013. Over the UI, the only info was that the partioning step failed. After looking at the installer logs with a shell during install, it looked like the postinstall script of the partitioner was bogus. In the log, the error message was a parsing error from a misplaced brace. The contents of the file (the partitoner postinstall script) were looking like a binary, not like a shell script. I simply deleted the file and the partitioning went OK, as the rest of the installtion as well. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: mips (mips64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-r5k-ip32 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
