Package: base-installer Version: 1.70 After a successful installation of the d-i daily netinstall build from:
cdimage.d.o:/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/20070103-2/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso on a Motorola PowerStack II, rebooting the fresh installation failed, because the kernel option root=/dev/sda2 (in my case) was missing. As soon as I've added this to the options listed on the mkvmlinuz boot prompt, disk booting succeeded. IMHO, this is not a grave bug, but it prevents automatic booting. Short comment from Sven Luther attached: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ROOT=/dev/sda2 should be added to the /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.config file, probably in base-config, and then this one will be no more an issue. Please fill a bug report against base-installer about this, maybe i will provide a patch, we will see. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The content of /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.config after installation: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # # initramfs.conf # Configuration file for mkinitramfs(8). See initramfs.conf(5). # # # MODULES: [ most | netboot | dep | list ] # # most - Add all framebuffer, acpi, filesystem, and harddrive drivers. # # dep - Try and guess which modules to load. # # netboot - Add the base modules, network modules, but skip block devices. # # list - Only include modules from the 'additional modules' list # MODULES=most # BUSYBOX: [ y | n ] # # Use busybox if available. # BUSYBOX=y # # NFS Section of the config. # # # BOOT: [ local | nfs ] # # local - Boot off of local media (harddrive, USB stick). # # nfs - Boot using an NFS drive as the root of the drive. # BOOT=local # # DEVICE: ... # # Specify the network interface, like eth0 # DEVICE=eth0 # # NFSROOT: [ auto | HOST:MOUNT ] # NFSROOT=auto ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TIA, Uli -- Dipl.
