Hi,
This patch adds kfreebsd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64 in a few Architecture (and
Build-Depends) fields of installer and packages where these arches were missing.

Looking at the Debian Installer FAQ there is reference to using the installer Device Manager. But I can not find where I do this. Does it mean to use LVM, or rather is that function available from where I would be taken if I went down the LVM route from the what to partition menu? There was talk about dmraid as far back as November last year, and someone (I forget who) talked about including a dmraid udeb.

Not yet. ATM I'm just trying to satisfy udeb dependencies, so that at least a (non-working) snapshot can be crafted.

Any issues are outside the scope of the installer. Just wanted to mention that I now have X fully working. The issues were: 1. Needed to 'apt-get install' x-window-system-core and x-window-system (omittign the core X stuff seemed odd as I had selected a desktop system install. Maybe installing basic X should be an install option) 2. Replaced 'vesa' with 'i810' in /etc/Xorg.conf 3. change XkbLayout from "gb" to "us" in /etc/Xorg.conf 4. install and configure 915resolution to get full (1280x768) LCD resolution. the second issue seems to be a hardware detection issue, in that a usable but non optimal display driver was selected. The third seems to have been an error in generating an xorg.conf file which did not take into accout the selected install options (which in my case was that I am located in the UK but have as US keyboard layout).

Check /proc/cpuinfo If you see two CPUs there, then it is working. The kernel you should be using should be a 686-smp kernel of course. dmesg or /var/log/kern.log should also show it initializing each cpu, or sometimes a reason why it isn't doing so.

Marvell network card driver
Hello!I'd like to install Debian with a netinst CD. I have an ASUS P5GD1 PRO motherboard with an integrated Marvell Yukon 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. I have found Linux drivers on the company's page and tried them on an other Linux distribution (based on Debian - UHU linux). The package has an installer and it updates the sk98lin kernel module so that the network card can work (it doesn't work with the original one) or it can make a kernel patch and it can be compiled into the kernel. Anyway it needs the kernel sources. The driver can be found at: http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=107&pId=10 .I tried to download some binary CD-s but the installer deleted the whole partition table on my 120GB winchester because there was only "automatic partitioning"! I thought that it would show a menu or something but no! I spent 7 hours restoring the old partition table, backing up data and reinstalling windows... but last year there WAS a nice partitioner in the debian-installer. So the questions are: -is it possible to install it with the debian installer?-or is it possible to install a basic system with a gcc and kernel sources etc., install the driver and then download more packages? -or even to integrate it into the kernel from now on officially?Thanks for the help in advance.-- Gombos Gergely

The installer _does_ have an option for manual partitioning *and* it _always_ asks for confirmation before writing a new partition table and/or formatting partitions. > So the questions are: > -is it possible to install it with the debian installer? Sure, if you can either: - compile the extra drivers you need as modules for the same kernel that the installer uses and copy them into the running installer; - create a custom image with a custom kernel [1] > -or is it possible to install a basic system with a gcc and kernel > sources etc., install the driver and then download more packages? Sure. You can basically install whatever you like during the initial install. > -or even to integrate it into the kernel from now on officially? That will only happen if the driver code is accepted by upstream kernel people.

[D-I] Preparing for update in stable
Now that 3.1r2 is out and we've got kernel updates with ABI change scheduled for r3, it's time to start thinking about updating the installer for stable. Here's a proposal how to deal with this. If there are any weak points in the plan, feel free to shoot holes in it. The main thing that need to be done is rebuilding the installer images using the new kernel udebs. This is somewhat of a challenge though as a) it has never been done before, and b) it means building the images using udebs from s-p-u. Besides that a new version of base-installer is needed because that has the ABI hardcoded for kernel installation on alpha. Note that releasing a new d-i with ABI updates will break some existing installation images: netboot, floppy (net-drivers), s/390 images. All CD-based installations should still work, except for alpha businesscard. This will need to be mentioned in the release announcement. The rough plan is to first test that building using udebs from s-p-u works for i386, then upload updated kernel udebs for other arches, then upload d-i for an official build. In more detail: 1) Upload new i386 kernel udebs for both 2.4 and 2.6 to s-p-u (I've already prepared a set) 2) Get these acked by SRM so they actually show up in s-p-u; s-p-u already has debian-installer sections, I'm not sure if the acceptance queue and approval stuff supports udebs though (aj?) 3) Try a local build of d-i using a sources.list that has both stable and s-p-u in it [1]. 4) If this works, poke^Wask porters to upload updated kernels udebs for their arches. 5) Upload new base-installer. 6) Get those uploads acked by SRM. 7) Upload d-i and let the buildds do their stuff. [1] This should just work as d-i just uses apt to fetch udebs when building images. There are two options: - hack the Makefile to generate a "sources.list.udeb" that contains both stable and s-p-u - add a "sources.list.udeb.local" in the upload to override the default denerated sources.list.udeb and have that contain the two source lines I'm inclined to use the second option and just put a well-known good mirror like ftp.nl.d.o in there. This also means that this is independent of the buildds themselves to have s-p-u in their sources lists, which elmo raised as a possible issue on IRC yesterday. The main problem is going to be testing the new images as it will not be possible to run an installation and download kernel udebs from s-p-u and other udebs from stable. So, we'll either just have to just release and test images immediately after (together with testing CDs), or While researching this I noticed that there are two udebs (for preseeding) currently in s-p-u that were originally uploaded to t-p-u, These were intended for the original Sarge release, but somehow never made it. They should probably be included in 3.1r3 too. Cheers, FJP pgpMNlgdhxBOo.pgp Description: PGP signature
