Package: po4a
Version: 0.19-1
Severity: normal
Here are 2 problems with xml files in d-i manual (both sarge and trunk
branch in SVN).
1. Can't generate .po file from en/boot-installer/i386.xml, po4a
reported following msg:
Use of uninitialized value in string ne at
/usr/share/perl5/Locale/Po4a/Xml.pm line 471.
po4a::xml: Unexpected closing tag </para> found in
en/boot-installer/i386.xml:231. The main document may be wrong.
After a careful recheck, I think the file is 100% valid, and I can
generate HTML from it without any problem. The tricky thing is that many
</para><para> pairs were commented by <!-- --> in the document. Perhaps,
po4a didn't handle then correctly. (I guess ;-)
2. Another two files, en/using-d-i/modules/baseconfig.xml and
en/using-d-i/modules/os-prober.xml. po4a can produce pot file from xml,
but it will ignore the last paragraph after a <!-- xxxxx --> comment.
Then, after I translated po files and convert them back to xml, those
generated xml files are invalid. Please look at attachments to know
what I mean.

Title: Booting from a CD-ROM
&boot-installer-intro-cd.xml;
Booting from linux using <command>LILO</command> or
<command>GRUB</command>
To boot the installer from hard disk, you must first download
and place the needed files as described in .
If you intend to use the hard drive only for booting and then
download everything over the network, you should download the
netboot/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz file and its corresponding kernel.
This will allow you
to repartition the hard disk from which you boot the installer, although
you should do so with care.
Alternatively, if you intend to keep an existing partition on the hard
drive unchanged during the install, you can download the
hd-media/initrd.gz
file and its kernel, as well as copy a CD iso to the drive (make sure the
file is named ending in ".iso". The installer can then boot from the drive
and install from the CD image, without needing the network.
For LILO, you will need to configure two
essential things in /etc/lilo.conf:
to load the initrd.gz installer at boot time;
have the vmlinuz kernel use a RAM disk as
its root partition.
Here is a /etc/lilo.conf example:
image=/boot/newinstall/vmlinuz
label=newinstall
initrd=/boot/newinstall/initrd.gz
root=/dev/ram0
append="devfs=mount,dall ramdisk_size=17000"
For more details, refer to the
initrd
4 and
lilo.conf
5 man pages. Now run
lilo and reboot.
The procedure for GRUB is quite similar. Locate your
menu.lst in the /boot/grub/
directory (sometimes in the /boot/boot/grub/),
add the following lines:
title New Install
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/newinstall/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 devfs=mount,dall ramdisk_size=17000
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/newinstall/initrd.gz
and reboot. Note that the value of the ramdisksize
may need to be adjusted for the size of the initrd image.
>From now on, there should be no difference between GRUB
or LILO.
Booting from USB memory stick
Lets assume you have prepared everything from and . Now
just plug your USB stick into some free USB connector and reboot the
computer. The system should boot up, and you should be presented with
the boot: prompt. Here you can enter optional boot
arguments, or just hit &enterkey;.
In case your computer doesn't support booting from USB memory devices,
you can still use a single floppy to do the initial boot and then
switch to USB. Boot your system as described in ;
the kernel on the boot floppy should detect your USB stick automatically.
When it asks for the root floppy, simply press &enterkey;. You should see
&d-i; starting.
Booting from Floppies
You will have already downloaded the floppy images you needed and
created floppies from the images in .
To boot from the installer boot floppy, place it in the primary floppy
drive, shut down the system as you normally would, then turn it back
on.
For installing from a LS-120 drive (ATAPI version) with a set of
floppies, you need to specify the virtual location for the floppy
device. This is done with the root= boot
argument, giving the device that the ide-floppy driver maps the device
to. For example, if your LS-120 drive is connected as the first IDE
device (master) on the second cable, you enter
linux root=/dev/hdc at the boot prompt.
Installation from LS-120 is only supported by 2.4 and later kernels.
Note that on some machines, Control
Alt Delete does not
properly reset the machine, so a ``hard'' reboot is recommended. If
you are installing from an existing operating system (e.g., from a DOS
box) you don't have a choice. Otherwise, please do a hard reboot when
booting.
The floppy disk will be accessed, and you should then see a screen
that introduces the boot floppy and ends with the boot:
prompt.
Once you press &enterkey;, you should see the message
Loading..., followed by
Uncompressing Linux..., and
then a screenfull or so of information about the hardware in your
system. More information on this phase of the boot process can be
found below in .
After booting from the boot floppy, the root floppy is
requested. Insert the root floppy and press &enterkey;, and the
contents are loaded into memory. The installer program
debian-installer is automatically launched.
Booting with TFTP
&boot-installer-intro-net.xml;
There are various ways to do a TFTP boot on i386.
NIC or Motherboard that support PXE
It could be that your Network Interface Card or Motherboard provides
PXE boot functionality.
This is a Intel re-implemention
of TFTP boot. If so you may be able to configure your BIOS to boot from the
network.
NIC with network bootROM
It could be that your Network Interface Card provides
TFTP boot functionality.
Let us (&email-debian-boot-list;) know how did you manage it.
Please refer to this document.
Etherboot
The etherboot project
provides bootdiskettes and even bootroms that do a TFTPboot.
i386 Boot Parameters
When the installer boots, you will be presented with the boot prompt,
boot:. You can do two things at the boot:
prompt. You can press the function keys F1 through
F10 to view a few pages of helpful information, or
you can press Enter to boot the system.
Information on boot parameters which might be useful can be found by
pressing F3 through F7. If you add any
parameters to
the boot command line, be sure to type the boot method (the default is
linux) and a space before the first parameter (e.g.,
linux floppy=thinkpad). If you simply press &enterkey;,
that's the same as typing linux without any special
parameters.
Some systems have floppies with ``inverted DCLs''. If you receive
errors reading from the floppy, even when you know the floppy is good,
try the parameter floppy=thinkpad.
On some systems, such as the IBM PS/1 or ValuePoint (which have ST-506
disk drivers), the IDE drive may not be properly recognized. Again,
try it first without the parameters and see if the IDE drive is
recognized properly. If not, determine your drive geometry
(cylinders, heads, and sectors), and use the parameter
hd=cylinders,heads,sectors.
If you have a very old machine, and the kernel hangs after saying
Checking 'hlt' instruction..., then
you should try the no-hlt boot argument, which
disables this test.
If your screen begins to show a weird picture while the kernel boots,
eg. pure white, pure black or colored pixel garbage, your system may
contain a problematic video card which does not switch to the
framebuffer mode properly. Then you can use the boot parameter
debian-installer/framebuffer=false or
video=vga16:off to disable the framebuffer
console. Only the English
language will be available during the installation due to limited
console features. See for details.
System freeze during the PCMCIA configuration phase
Some laptop models produced by Dell are known to crash when PCMCIA device
detection tries to access some hardware addresses. Other laptops may display
similar problems. If you experience such a problem and you don't need PCMCIA
support during the installation, you can disable PCMCIA using the
hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false boot parameter. You can
then configure PCMCIA after the installation is completed and exclude the
resource range causing the problems.
Alternatively, you can boot the installer in expert mode. You will
then be asked to enter the resource range options your hardware
needs. For example, if you have one of the Dell laptops mentioned
above, you should enter exclude port
0x800-0x8ff here. There is also a list of some common
resource range options in the System
resource settings section of the PCMCIA HOWTO. Note that you
have to omit the commas, if any, when you enter this value in the
installer.
System freeze while loading the USB modules
The kernel normally tries to install USB modules and the USB keyboard driver
in order to support some non-standard USB keyboards. However, there are some
broken USB systems where the driver hangs on loading. A possible workaround
may be disabling the USB controller in your mainboard BIOS setup. Another option
is passing the debian-installer/probe/usb=false parameter
at the boot prompt, which will prevent the modules from being loaded.
Running <command>base-config</command> From Within &d-i;
It is possible to configure the base system within the first stage
installer (before rebooting from the hard drive), by running
base-config in a chroot
environment. This is mainly useful for testing the installer and a
vast majority of people should avoid it.

Feel free to prove me I'm wrong -->
-->Title: Detecting other operating systems
Before a boot loader is installed, the installer will attempt to probe for
other operating systems which are installed on the machine. If it finds a
supported operating system, you will be informed of this during the boot
loader installation step, and the computer will be configured to boot this
other operating system in addition to Debian.
Note that multiple operating systems booting on a single machine is still
something of a black art. The automatic support for detecting and setting
up boot loaders to boot other operating systems varies by architecture and
even by subarchitecture. If it does not work you should consult your
boot manager's documentation for more information.
The installer may fail to detect other operating systems if the partitions on
which they reside are mounted when the detection takes place. This may occur if
you select a mountpoint (e.g. /win) for a partition containing another operating
system in partman, or if you have mounted partitions manually
from a console.
