is there any reason debootrap doesnt create the loopback device? is there any

loopback device? just one less thing when you debootstrap manually.

Package: debian-installer
Version: daily build 25 Jan 2005

Method: Installed from boot & root floppies
Machine: ASUS A7N8X Deluxe 2.0
Processor: Athlon XP 3200+
Memory: 1 GB
Root Device: Silicon Image Sil 3112 SATA RAID
Hard disks: 2x Maxtor 6Y160M0 (160Gb) in a single 320Gb stripe set

This is *exactly* the same bug as #265424, which does not appear to have
been addressed or even acknowledged. 

Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked:[O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network: [O]
Detect CD:  [ ]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [ ]
Partition hard drives:  [O]
Create file systems:[O]
Mount partitions:   [O]
Install base system:[O]
Install boot loader:[O]
Reboot: [E]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Unlike Todd (the author of #265424), I did not attempt to use a CD
drive. Please see #286939 for my tribulations here (I was trying to use
via82cxxx instead of amd74xx - I suspect I will be able to use the CD
next time).

I had to use expert mode and manually modprobe siimage, ide-detect,
ide-disk, ataraid and medley, in that order. Using non-expert mode
caused a total freeze during loading of ide-detect, every time.

Once medley was loaded, I was able to partition and create filesystems
successfully. Note that Todd's point about the default options being
dangerous still stands - only by using manual partitioning could I see
the existing partitions of the stripe set.

After installation, I ignored grub and installed LILO, which worked
fine. It even detected my Windows installation on /dev/ataraid/d0p1 and
included it.

Then I rebooted, and it tried gamely to install hptraid and pdcraid, but
not medley! So it could not find the root device (/dev/ataraid/d0p3) and
panicked.

It's now over 5 months since Todd submitted #265424, and it's surely a
simple matter of adding medley.o to that part of the script which tries
the other ataraid drivers. Grateful if someone could add this asap.
(Todd, if you've managed to work around this yourself, I'd love to know
how!)

Bug #501849 requests the inclusion of a new preseed value

preseed values appears to belong in the installation-manual appendix,
I've attached a patch against SVN r56349 that would include
documentation in English.  My apologies that I'm not confident enough
with generation of other languages to include the documentation there as
well.

Package: user-setup
Version: 1.23
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu intrepid ubuntu-patch

When performing an install, the user cannot proceed without entering a
non-empty password.  This remains the case even when an empty password
has been specifically preseeded.

For most use cases, this is clearly entirely the correct behaviour.  In
those rare cases where someone really, really, wants to have an empty
password for an automatically created user, it would be nice if
user-setup would allow this directly, rather than requiring workarounds
such as reset with late_command.

The attached patch creates an additional internal-use-only preseed
boolean: passwd/allow-password-empty which when set to true allows the
use of an empty password, either interactively or through preseeding.
Users will still be asked for a password, but will not be forced to
enter one.

I've created the patch against revision 56349 in SVN, but would be happy
to update it to a newer revision with modifications if requested.

From the initial comments on this bug, I was convinced the patch was
both unnecessary and undesirable.  I've been intending to clean it up
anyway for inclusion and application, but since I've not gotten around
to it for so long, and since I don't want it anymore, and since nobody
else seems to have adopted it, I think it's worth closing this bug as
something that not only won't be fixed, but shouldn't be "fixed", as the
current behaviour is sufficiently flexible.

Not yet; we're adding the support for it but it will still
take a while to be complete.

partman got most of required parts already and we
are working with parted upstream to get it released
to use it for ext4. Besides that, we also depends on
kernel updating that is also being done.

As you can see, a lot of things are in progress :-)

From my experience when I built 2.6.28 kernel d-i, I'd like to ask to add:

[nic-wireless-modules]
ath9k ?
iwlagn ?

[nic-usb-modules or nic-wireless-modules]
rtl8187 ?

[nic-extra-modules]
myri10ge ?

Mm, I think you may be right there. I'll look at making sure things work

List of udebs that depend on non-udebs

2009-03-23 Thread Adeodato Simó
Hello,

while talking today with Otavio on #debian-release about the #520642
thread (I’ve Bin-NMUed pcre3/i386, btw, and dmraid will fix itself
becuase it’s seen a recent sourceful upload), the topic about udebs
depending on non-udebs came up. Otavio said:

18:28  dato: i belive that we could check for any non-udeb
   dependency. AFAIK no package should have them now.

Well, in case it’s of any use, please find attached a list of all udebs
in unstable that depend on regular packages.

Bottom line: only dependencies on libc6, libgcc1 and libnewt0.52 are
present, plus debconf (in debian-edu udebs) and os-prober (in the
*-installer packages).

Is that already the case for lenny or just for squeeze/sid? I'm asking cause

Almost true, but not quite. See my early mails about getting rid of the

Sure. Well, I just wanted to provide an up-to-date and archive-wide
list, in case if was of use for you.

Regarding the wiki page, it lists glibc as “BTS”, but it’s been fixed
apparently since 2008-05-11, so you may want to update the page and
check/ask for rebuilds of the libc6 dependencies I sent, if it’s
important for you to see them gone.

I see nothing in the wiki page about libgcc1, and I do see libnewt0.52
dependencies are okay, so that should be all.

In any case, somebody shout if they need something from us. I just
reacted on that comment from Otavio in the hopes it’d be of any use.

Cheers,

It looks like the best way to do that is to add them to kernel-wedge as optional
and let them to be included on the images.

What others think?

Well, in case it’s of any use, please find attached a list of all udebs

Bottom line: only dependencies on libc6, libgcc1 and libnewt0.52 are

I have removed the depends on debconf in the debian-edu udebs in svn

IIRC I was asked to add direct to i386 instead of adding to kernel
wedge. Maybe that was because i386 was the only one back then though and
for two arches kernel-wedge makes sense. The only other (currently)
potential arch is ia64 though.

In any case the alternative patch is below.

IMO adding them to kernel wedge does not make sense as long as that 
results in the modules being added in generic kernel udebs (such as 
nic-modules) for arches where they are sure to be unused.

It would be different if there were XEN-specific udebs.

If they are added in kernel-wedge, they should definitely not be added in 
nic-modules, but in nic-extra modules (and the same goes if they are 
added in the arch-specific packages and not in kernel-wedge).

Just my 2 cents.

The modules aren't even built on architectures where Xen is not
supported or enabled in the kernel .config, so there is no danger of
them getting into any udebs where they don't belong. The modules are
marked as optional for this reason, see for example the 486 kernel which
doesn't have Xen enabled in it, and as expected there are no Xen modules
in any 486 udeb despite them being present in the 386 specific udeb
lists.

You mentioned IA64. As long as we have no D-I support for Xen for that, 
adding the udebs in kernel-wedge would result in them being uselessly 
being included there.

Also, for i386 you have the split between the 486 kernel and the Xen 
kernel for D-I, but that's not true for amd64. So for amd64 the Xen 
modules would end up in all images.

I suspect that issue still exists as DHCP still fails.

Moving on with static settings, I got to the point of setting up the disks.

The mobo has an Adaptec U320 SCSI controller (aic79xx), and I have several
drives connected (with various old partitions on each that are all going to
be wiped). The installer reports no drives were detected.

I fired up the console, and ls /dev/sd* shows all of the drives are there;
/dev/sda-d (plus all the usual partition devices)

fdisk lets me examine them, and all have their expected partition tables,
showing the drives are accessible just fine. I have no idea why the
installer does not detect them.

Sure we really care about them being included on amd64 images?

amd64 machines are powerful enough to the increase of memory
due those module be mostly ignored and about ia64 I do believe
we'll end up supporting them once kernel does it properly.

I see i386 case mostly a workaround due our backward compatibility
for older machines. I do agree that this is really important, so
makes sense to provde a specific image for xen. This isn't the case
for amd64 it doesn't makes sense for me.

Only con I see about having it in all amd64 images is that we'll
need to be carefully how to proper document it. Besides that, I
see no problem with that.

Kind regards,
