164lx sarge rc2 installer
Hi together, I'm a Alpha newbie and just managed to install SRM on our 164lx. (as recomended) Now if I try to boot the netinst cd or boot via netboot, I always got: aboot: Can't load kernel. Memory at fc31 - fc57170f (chunk 0) is Busy (Reserved) I found a mail above a DS25 with the same 'fault', but this is no help for me. Has anyone a install image that works with our Alpha?

I've had the same probem using
svn co svn://svn.debian.org/d-i/tags/d-i/rc2
This is supposed to be rc2 but it doesn't build due to 'some modules are
in more than one package' as the first poster mentioned.
What am I doing wrong, if anything. If this is what it looks like,
which is that rc2 in svn is not the rc2 that was released, this is not
good from a version control perpective.
I decided to try building rc2 because the sarge branch as of the 18th is
giving me trouble ('unable to find partitionable media' on a drive that
I can mount from the shell, and I can't fdisk because it's not
included). Any thoughts on what's going on there?

It is the rc2 that was released, but the debs in testing have changed in
the meantime.

If you write the partition table after the creation of the swap then it depends only on random events whether the partition table will be overwriten or not. Especialy if the computer has enough RAM memory then the partition table will not be overwriten for quiet a long time.

adding custom module - other aproach
Hi again Being determined to get it done, I decided to go via the "modify existing cd image" way, as described at http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianInstallerModify Here is what I did: * compiled a 2.6.8-1-386 kernel, exactly the same config as sarge kernel, except my custom scsi module is extra. * installed this kernel on my prototype box (vmware if that matters). * downloaded linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6-0.69 * added my module to modules/i386/scsi-extra-modules. * fakeroot debian/rules binary. If I unpack the resulting scsi-extra-modules-2.6.8-1-386-di_0.69_i386.udeb there is my shiny module. Now I donwload, mount, and rsync the contents of sarge-netinst.iso to a custom folder. I replace the stock scsi-extra-modules-2.6.8-1-386-di_0.69_i386.udeb with my own udeb. Then I fix all the md5-sums: md5sum `find -follow -type f` > md5sum.txt. [note: Besides this, I also had to fix the md5sum of my new udeb in dists/sarge/main/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages and dists/sarge/main/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages.gz. Could someone add this the webpage?? ] Then I generate an ISO. The resulting installer won't find any harddisks, but after manually insmodding the modules, it does. So far so good. My theory behind this is, that by providing a custom scsi-extra udeb, the installer kernel can recognize my controller (which is true). Also, I assume this udeb will also be used for installing the kernel onto the /target (right??). When the installer install the kernel, it bails out when creating the initrd (no module "arcsmr").

Would this be true even though I'm using the packages directory from the
svn (including the kernel) tagged for rc2? I thought that the whole kit
and kaboodle was in svn, not just the installer source.

Hrmph. I build d-i from svn sources to avoid this type of problem. If
subversion isn't keeping a snapshot of d-i, including udebs, I'm not
sure what to do about making sure I get a working version.

Does preseed/file work or did I something wrong?
Hey, on Saturday (build 20041018), I tried to load a preseed.cfg from floppy with d-i sarge netinstall: "linux preseed/file=/floppy/preseed.cfg" the preseed.cfg itself contained two options pasted from the examples I found in the manual. The installer could not load the file, it "may be corrupt". It was existing and readable on floppy. Floppy was mounted, too. In another try, I gave "/tmp/preseed.cfg" as file, booted, mounted the floppy and copied the file to /tmp/ and re-tried to load it from main menu. It failed too.

Bug#286578: netboot tarballs should have version in the path somewhere
Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
If netboot tarballs included a version string in the path somewhere then
it would be possible to install several in parallel without extra work.
Maybe something like
debian-installer/i386/${VERSION}/
or
debian-installer/${VERSION}/i386/
where $VERSION could be things like
rc2
daily-20041220
taggart-1.23
etc.
Then you could also have a "current" symlink a la boot-floppies.
Hmm, the tarball has symlinks that point back into the structure (like
pxelinux.cfg) so those would need to change too, but shouldn't be a
problem. There are probably other issues but they should be easily
found by just trying it.
Thanks,

Bug#286614: Problem with existing LVM installation during Sarge install
Package: Partitioner Version: Debian Sarge Net-Install CD I have two 80gb hard drives with an existing Windows 98SE and an existing Fedora Core 3 installation using two LWM physical volumes on /dev/hda4 and /dev/hdb2. I did a pvmove to transfer all the data off hda4, then intended to use it to install Debian Sarge on. After my Fedora installation was transfered to hdb2, I began the Net-Install for Debian Sarge. During the Net-Install, the partitioner detected my LVM partitions from Fedora and my swap partition and put dark smiley faces by them. I selected hda4 and reformatted it as a root "/" partition with an ext2 filesystem. The installer created the filesystem, then I was ready to install. I went to hdb2 and selected "Do not use this partition" so I didn't overwrite my Fedora installation. The hdb2 partition then changed to the light smiley face, and when I tried to continue, the partitioner wanted me to format hdb2 even though I had selected not to use it! I wanted to install Debian on hda4, yet every time I tried it, the installer kept asking me to reformat hdb2 before I could procede with the installation. Selecting to not use the partition wouldn't work. I then tried to just go to the next step by installing the base system since I had already created the root "/" on hda4 and formatted it, but it kept bringing me back to the partitioner and wanted to format hdb2 before I could continue. Since I couldn't get the Debian partitioner to work, I used QTparted from a Knoppix 3.6 CD to re-create the ext2 "/" root parition on hda4, then started the installation again, only to have the installer keep asking me to format hdb2. Even with the partitions created and ready, I could not bypass the debian partitioner to continue the installation, and the partitioner would not let me exclude hdb2 either. I was really annoyed that I had to pop open the case and unplug my second hard drive so that the Debian installer would let me continue without erasing my other linux installation. Hope you guys can fix this for the next release, Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
