Package: install Severity: grave Justification: renders system unusable
Attempting to install unstable using netboot images from: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/netboot/
Everything works fine (notwithstanding partitioning problems) until the base system is being installed. Apparantly mkinitrd has trouble with the cciss drive controller and /dev filesystem, and fails, subsequently failing to install the kernel. Have pasted ascii 'screenshots' and log information below.
thanks, Erik
The installer reports the following:
+-------------------+ [!!] Install the base system +-------------------+ | Unable to install the selected kernel | | An error was returned while trying to install the kernel into the | | target system. | | | | Kernel package: 'kernel-image-2.4-386'. | | | | Check /var/log/messages or see virtual console 3 for the details. | | | | <Continue> | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
Checking /var/log/messages, I find the following:
