And this option is a little bit dangerous because i only have a usb keyboard and after disableling it i was unable to enter the bios configuration menu again (I had to clear the bios directly using the jumper on the motherboard) I try also to boot using 'noapic nolapic' and no usb keyboard too. I also noticed some kind of memory problem after reboot several time (maybe the ram is not compatible?)

libreadline4 - bug #276617 still there
Hello, I am trying to install debian sarge and I am experiencing completely same problem as described at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=276617 Down at the page Steve Langasek claims, that the bug has been fixed but it is obviously not the case. I tried the instalation with two different images: first from (downloaded 3.11.2004) http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/current/ and than from (downloaded 4.11.2004) http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sid_d-i/i386/pre-rc2/ The pre-rc2 image has no errata about libreadline I used Czech Republic mirrors as apt sources (eg. ftp.zcu.cz) and also American one (ftp.debian.org). But still with the same result. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you for any help. Best regards Michal Hajek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Andreas Barth just made me aware of this problem (Actually not a problem of parted, but caused by the new libreadline5 upload).

Maybe you can add some brief instructions about how to flash a machine to use SRM (or put in a reference to the SRM HOWTO - unfortunately, it's a bit out of date though and doesn't contain an up-to-date location of the SRM binaries).

Sarge Boot CD support for LSI MegaRAID ATA133 Controller
The correct driver for the LSI MegaRAID ATA133 controller does not seem to be a part of the standard Sarge CD. I have two drives configured as a mirror, but the Sarge CD sees them as two separate IDE drivers, and indeed installs to only one of the two drives in the mirror. The board has a SiliconeImage chip on it, and I see some sort of "SI..." driver listed in lsmod, so I am guessing Debian picked up the controller chip on the board, minus the RAID capabilities. The board looks to have been out for two years now. Did I miss something for how to boot up and get IDE RAID (mirror) support, to see the two drives as one logical drive, or is this indeed a result of lacking the proper driver? -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper case letters NOSPAM to contact me directly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#279681: serious problem with "Host Protected Area"

Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked:[O] Configure network HW: [O] (onboard ethernet, no WLAN) Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Create file systems:[ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system:[ ] Install boot loader:[ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: The Notebook comes with Phoenix's cME (core Management Environment) which uses a Host Protected Area of 10GB on the Harddisk. (Fujitsu MHS2060AT 60GB). I don't want to use the Phoenix Recovery feature (for which the reserved 10GB are meant to be used) and the HPA but cannot turn it off in the BIOS. Knoppix discovers the full capacity of the drive and allows me to create partitions, filesystems in the HPA. di currently doesn't. dmesg after Knoppix boot (V3.4, Kernel 2.4.23-xfs) tells me: --snip-- hda: Host Protected Area detected. current capacity is 104041314 sectors (53269 MB) native capacity is 117210240 sectors (60011 MB) hda: Host Protected Area disabled hda: 117210240 sectors (60011 MB) [...] --snap-- whereas dmesg on a shell during the di-setup tells me: --snip-- hda: Host Protected Area detected. current capacity is 104041314 sectors (53269 MB) native capacity is 117210240 sectors (60011 MB) hda: 104041314 sectors (53269 MB) [...] --snap-- obviously the default behaviour of how to treat the HPA-"feature" differs between the knoppix and the di kernel. Unfortunately I was not able to get the di kernel to disable the HPA, too. I tried the following boot parameters: hd=7296,255,63 (which is the "native" geometry reported by fdisk on knoppix) hda=stroke (which after looking at the source of the current ide-driver should disable HPA, I think) hda=noprobe hda=stroke hda=7296,255,63 but nothing works. I have the feeling that these options aren't even passed to the ide-driver which is loaded after the 3 language settings during setup are configured. I tried to load the ide-generic module from a shell, before di loads it with modprobe ide-generic hda=stroke and some other options as mentioned above. but all of that has no effect. di still recognizes the drive as 53.something GB and does not allow me to install into the last 10GB of the disk. (btw. removing the ide-driver at this stage with modprobe -r ide-generic causes a segfault in the kernel! That's pretty ugly even if the ide module is not to be expected to be removed, anyway. While experimenting I had to do several reboots because of that.) I tried to shrink my XP-Partition and install debian into the "official" disk-space, but this causes an even more severe problem. In that case the installation goes very well at first. Everything is copied and GRUB is installed into the MBR. But after the reboot GRUB says (approximately from my memory): GRUB stage 1.5 loading GRUB, please wait... And nothing happens. Not even an error message. I can only hard-reset. Probably GRUB gets confused with the 2 drive geometries (thanks to HPA) and can't access the stage2? I have booted knoppix, mounted and chrooted the debian partition and rerun grub-install: No effect. The problem then was that the Windows XP-CD didn't boot after that for some reason(black screen after scanning hardware and the disk LED flashing for a splitsecond) which would have allowed me to reinstall the Windows-MBR. -> I had to completely reinstall XP after zeroing out the MBR!!! So, since it can be expected that more and more notebooks will be built with this nice HPA/cME-"feature" (I didn't know about it when I bought the notebook and had to do some googling) this should really be given some thought, I guess. What about a boot switch that disables HPA? It is obviously possible to safely just ignore it if the user doesn't want to use the cME features. I have done that with knoppix and successfully created a filesystem in that area of the disk and stored some gigs of data there. The partition survived reboots but is not accessible with anything else but Knoppix. :-( Apart from that: di is great work! Keep going. I'm a real debian-fan but the old install system really was a pain. di is awesome. Thank you so much! cheers, -Marvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a

You probably did not select any other source for p[ackage installation after the reboot than your netinst CD. This is not really supported. Adding a network mirror (http:// source) to your /etc/apt/sources.list should solve this problem. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

In that case you're hitting some other bug, it should have set up the proxy for your main apt source and continued to use it for security. I've verified that the proxy stuff works when entered by hand, have not gotten a chance to try it with preseeding yet. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hmm, well, that case (netinst CD then security download failing in 2nd stage) is the exact case for which I reported #255651...and proposed the fix I sent for it. This fix is not easy to test because the situation mostly shows up for netinst CDs...which always use sarge base-config Testing my fix needs to manually change apt-setup with the fix before running 2nd stage.or manually install sid's base-config at the end of 1st stage. After some thinking, I imagine that my fix for 255651 may have other consequences: # Ask about a proxy if no proxy is yet defined. if [ "$URI" = "http" ] && [ -z "$http_proxy" ]; then if [ ! -e "$APTETC/apt.conf" ] || \ ! grep -iq 'Acquire::http::Proxy' $APTETC/apt.conf; then db_input high mirror/http/proxy || true .../... With that, if the earlier stages have already prompted the user for a proxy and the user did not enter anything because she doesn't need one...then she will be prompted again for a proxy. In short, netboot and businesscard installs are likely to prompt twice for a proxy. A better fix would be: if URI is http and http_proxy is empty and mirror/http/proxy has not been seen ; then input for proxy fi
