debian-installer - reduced libdebian-installer crashes

[Bastian Blank]

hi folks

i don't know why, but a reduced libdebian-installer crashes the
dynlinker on s390.

is it possible, that the lack of a .init and .fini are able to cause
such crashes?

The people who are building the installer package,
use the kernel packages ( which are build by others ) .

When installing a Debian kernel package
it installs in /boot a vmlinuz-n.n.nn-extra and a config-n.n.nn-extra.

You are looking for the config-n.n.nn-extra

As we are on it, how do you convince devfsd to create hda10,
too? I had to put this in the devfs init script. Heh, it
works... I gave up after 15 minutes of reading the howto stuff
and all the in- file comments and stuff, maybe I did not find
the right corner to look into.

curious,

I'm talking about the udeb package, which is in my mind
specialy made for debian-installer and I haven't found
any config file in it.

Bug#162710: mac-fdisk.txt is not the intended manual page

[J.P. Larocque]

Package: install-doc
Version: 3.0.24

In the installation guide for PowerPC, section 6.5 ("Debian Partitioning
Programs"), there are two links to "mac-fdisk.txt", both labelled
"mac-fdisk manual page".  Although this file exists, its sole contents
are "** man page not found **".  This file is supposed to be the
mac-fdisk manual page.

The file name for the SGML document is "en/partitioning.sgml".  The file
name for the HTML document is "ch-partitioning.en.html".  The following
is a URL to the exact section in the documentation, on www.debian.org:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch-partitioning.en.html#s-partition-programs

Cross-Installation for Target Machines

[Christoph Plattner]

Hello Debian Hackers,

is it possible with the current set of tools to
install debian cross hardware platform ?

Example: I have a intel/AMD PC running as host and
boot server. I have a net bootable kernel for SPARC
and I want to create a valid "woody" basic installation
on a NFS-ROOT exported file system, example
`/export/rootfs//woody' (= root fs).

A usage of debootstrap can only cross-install on the
same target arch, as after chroot is done, the tools
are not usable.

Thanks
Christoph P.

Root image for network install ?

[Christoph Plattner]

Hello Debian Hackers,

here is a further dependent question:

Although I am not new in Linux-stuff, and although
a participate some GNU projects or even HP and VAX Linux
projects (device driver development), I am not able
to fully understand the debian installation (sorry).

To get a fully naked installation (empty machine),
I need the current rescue floppy, containing SILO
and kernel. This floppy isinstrumented to ask for
a root floppy.

The root floppy download from the web is one, which
is only possible to use for locally installation,
for example for CD ROM. But which floppy or image
I have to use for the "standard" network installation
via ftp ? I cannot find it !

The drivers are only drivers (I think), the base system
is the tar ball for a root file system (debootstrap
cannot unpack it on a i386 system, as I want to install
a SPARC machine).

Which root floppy I have to use ???

I already installed debian from CD on a HP-PA-RISC
machine, and I updated a Athlon-PC from RedHat to
debian via debootstrap (which worked quite well).

So I miss the cross-install between different
target types (see mail before), I missed the offline
install for a root file system on a NFS server
for NFS-Root clients, and I miss the default 
procedure for network install (root floppy).

I hope you can give some hints here ...

Christoph P.

It sounds like maybe you are thinking that basedebs.tar is what the
rescue floppy is asking for. Instead, it is asking for a floppy made
from the image file named root.bin. That floppy image contains 
instructions and a ramdisk filesystem which will handle any kind of
install (CD, hard disk, network, NFS).

You will find the root.bin image in the images-1.44 folder for the
target architecture, next to the rescue.bin image.
