-- Package-specific info: Boot method: CD Image version: http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/kfreebsd-amd64/20140913-00:37/netboot-10/mini.iso Date: 2014-09-13 Machine: BigV.io KVM-based VM with virtio Partitions: GPT disklabel: - 1 MiB embedding area for GRUB - 511 MiB - ~15 GiB physical device for ZFS, root filesystem on a ZVOL - 8 GiB swap Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system: [O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader: [E] Overall install: [O] Comments/Problems: Installing kfreebsd-amd64 on BigV.io (Bytemark's public cloud) was mostly okay, except: 0. booting from virtual CD-ROM took a few attempts; BigV's fault, not the install media's. 1. grub-mkdevicemap (in /target chroot) did not detect any (virtio) hard disks. I had to "Enter device manually" in the dialog and specify /dev/vtbd0, which worked. (n.b. Xen virtio disks will be called /dev/xbd0) 2. network autoconfiguration got stuck; after running DHCPv6 it froze with blank blue screen; Ctrl-C allowed me to try again with manual configuration instead; unfortunately I had no way in the BigV VNC client to Alt-F2 or Alt-F4 to see what exactly was going on. 3. partman is the slowest install step, causes lots of device attach/ detach events which devd logs to the installer syslog: Sep 13 23:38:08 devd: Processing event '!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=CREATE cdev=diskid/DISK-vda' Sep 13 23:38:08 devd: Pushing table Sep 13 23:38:08 devd: Processing notify event Sep 13 23:38:08 devd: Popping table Sep 13 23:38:08 devd: Processing event '!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=DESTROY cdev=diskid/DISK-vda' Sep 13 23:38:08 devd: Pushing table Sep 13 23:38:08 devd: Processing notify event Sep 13 23:38:08 devd: Popping table Sep 13 23:38:08 devd: Processing event '!system=DEVFS subsystem=CDEV type=MEDIACHANGE cdev=vtbd0' Sep 13 23:38:08 devd: Pushing table Sep 13 23:38:08 devd: Processing notify event Sep 13 23:38:08 devd: Popping table 4. On first boot, /boot is not mounted; seems due to "rw" option missing from /etc/fstab entry Installing the base system seemed extremely fast - I'd set sync=disabled on the ZFS pool - about 90 seconds. Similar period of time to install the SSH and Standard tasks. -- ============================================== Installer lsb-release: ============================================== DISTRIB_ID=Debian DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Debian GNU/kFreeBSD installer" DISTRIB_RELEASE="8 (jessie) - installer build 20140913-00:31" X_INSTALLATION_MEDIUM=netboot-10 ============================================== Installer hardware-summary: ============================================== uname -a: GNU/kFreeBSD kfreebsd 10.0-1-amd64 #0 Tue, 20 May 2014 12:47:21 +0100 x86_64 GNU/Linux lspci -nn: 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation 440FX - 82441FX PMC [Natoma] [8086:1237] (rev 02) lspci -nn: 00:01.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 ISA [Natoma/Triton II] [8086:7000] lspci -nn: 00:01.1 IDE interface [0101]: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 IDE [Natoma/Triton II] [8086:7010] lspci -nn: 00:01.2 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 USB [Natoma/Triton II] [8086:7020] (rev 01) lspci -nn: 00:01.3 Bridge [0680]: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI [8086:7113] (rev 03) lspci -nn: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Cirrus Logic GD 5446 [1013:00b8] lspci -nn: 00:03.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device [1af4:1000] lspci -nn: 00:04.0 Unclassified device [00ff]: Red Hat, Inc Virtio memory balloon [1af4:1002] lspci -nn: 00:05.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Red Hat, Inc Virtio block device [1af4:1001] lspci -nn: 00:06.0 System peripheral [0880]: Intel Corporation 6300ESB Watchdog Timer [8086:25ab] lspci -nn: 00:07.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Red Hat, Inc Virtio block device [1af4:1001] usb-list: Error: directory /sys/bus does not exist; is sysfs mounted? kldstat: Id Refs Address Size Name kldstat: 1 14 0xffffffff80200000 1142000 kfreebsd-10.gz kldstat: 2 1 0xffffffff86012000 dc18 ext2fs.ko kldstat: 3 1 0xffffffff86020000 140df9 zfs.ko kldstat: 4 1 0xffffffff86161000 2d61 opensolaris.ko kldstat: 5 1 0xffffffff86164000 88e3 fuse.ko df: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on df: df: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory free: /usr/bin/report-hw: line 63: free: not found -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: kfreebsd-amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: kFreeBSD 10.0-1-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
