Debian-installer-version: netinst sid_d-i 20040212 uname -a: N/A Date: 13 Feb 2004, 15:00 PST Method: Used as file image Machine: VMWare workstation 4.0 Processor: Memory: 64MB Root Device: SCSI (emulated) disk 600 MB Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [E] Mount partitions: [E] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [E] Reboot: [E] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: Everything worked ok, until I tried to use partconf. I created two partitions one for root(560 MB), the other swap (~80MB). I selected ext3 for root and swap filesystems and I selected continue. The installer complained of not having a / mount point, but in no point did it ask for one, or let me specify it. So I went back to the main menu and selected partman. This one worked perfectly. Afterwards, the main system was installed (no problems here) and it prompted for GRUB installation. The selected disk was (hd0) and I just pressed ok. It failed and I selected LILO instead. This worked with some problems afterwards. LILO prompted me with the devfs name of the disk and I pressed ok, but when I rebooted it couldn't mount root filesystem. Apparently, in /etc/fstab it didn't use the device name but the disklabel. I changed this manually to /dev/sda1 and rebooted. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux silmaril 2.4.24 #1 Fri Jan 30 03:06:17 EET 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=el_GR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=el_GR.UTF-8 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
