Package: hw-detect
Severity: important
Tags: d-i
This has been discussed on IRC earlier, but deserves a bug report so we
won't forget it before it's fixed :-)
If one first runs a module that fails (for instance, install LILO on a
non-existant drive, or install base from network with cable unplugged)
and then run hw-detect, weird stuff happens:
What actually happens is that hw-detect at some point sets
debconf/priority to "". This confuses main-menu profoundly -- current
version from sid manages to set pri=4, which is one step _higher_ than
critical, calling it "debian-installer/generic_error" of all things.
(main-menu from CVS fixes this issue, and sets pri=1, that is, "medium"
instead). Even better, right after that, one can spot
--> GET debconf/priority GET debconf/priority
<-- 20 Incorrent number of arguments
in the syslog; the origins of the double GET are rather unclear.
What, amazingly, solves the problem is to remove /etc/init.d/pcmcia-cs,
touching it instead to create an empty file. hw-detect runs the
following code fragment in postinst:
# avoid debconf daemon issues..
db_stop
/etc/init.d/pcmcia start </dev/null 2>&1 | logger -t hw-detect
which _seems_ innocent enough, but appearently is the source of the problems.
This should probably be investigated further. :-)

Description:
archdetect - Hardware architect detector (udeb)
ethdetect - Detect network hardware and load kernel drivers for it (udeb)
hw-detect - Detect hardware and load kernel drivers for it (udeb)
hw-detect-full - Detect hardware and load kernel drivers for it (full version) (udeb)
Closes: 219897
Changes:
ddetect (0.57) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Peter Mann
- Initial Slovak translation (sk.po).
* Joey Hess
- typo fix
- remove commented out sr_mod load line, code below loads it
- try to load usb-storage if the system has usb. Needed for usb storage
booted installs
* Steinar H. Gunderson
- Remove db_stop from hw-detect.sh, which confuses main-menu later on
and doesn't really make a difference anyhow with cdebconf.
(Closes: #219897)
