OK. This is definitely too little free memory to continue the install. In
my experience you need something like 10MB free at the beginning of
partitioning for things to work correctly.
This means that the lowmem levels do need adjusting for alpha. Steve has
said that he will investigate the correct levels.
does this mean the d-i will be updated for etch RC2?
You will probably be able to install your system by booting with as extra
boot parameter BOOT_DEBUG=3. This should drop you into a shell. You can
then edit /lib/debian-installer-startup,d/S15-lowmem (using nano) and
change the value of level2 to 50 in last set of values to:
<snip>
*)
level1=64
level2=50
min=0 #FIXME
;;
esac
</snip>
i've proceed as you mention, however i cannot save
/lib/debian-installer-startup.d/S15lowmem because the file system is in
read-only mode. i cannot even chmod the file, it doesn't allow me to do it.
When you do this, the installer should start in lowmem level 2 instead of
level 1 which will allow you to not install unneeded components.
well, as i said i cannot save the file... but how am i supposed to
"reboot" the installer to be able to select the partman-ext3 component?
I suggest that you _do_ select partman-ext3 as additional component. That
should still leave enough memory free.
thanks again!
