No sungem driver in daily netinst image for PowerPC
Hello! I'm trying to install Squeeze to PowerPC Apple Mac mini. This computer needs sungem driver for ethernet card. But there is no sungem driver in this image. In fact, there is only one file in .../kernel/drivers/net/wan: hdlc.ko. Besides that, installer complains that kernel is missing lvm support. Looks like there is something wrong with inclusion of modules into installer image. I don't know where to start my investigation. Which part of the whole system is responsible for building installer images? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Problem with Debian 503
Hi I have tried to install with Debian-503-amd64-DVD-1, and during console-data instalation, it tried to use "busybox"; but busybox is not in the 1º DVD. Can any help me, please? -- Francisco Javier Serrador

The wireless card (atheros, pciid 168c:001c) is detected and the ath5h_pci module loads. However it is unable to associate. Neither could I scan for access points with 'iwlist scan' or 'iwlist ap'. The wired ethernet worked fine so I used that to complete the install. No cdrom in the machine. Detection of this appears to have worked. The system came with three windows partitions which I deleted. The main problem I had was boot loader installation. I used the default of grub (did not lower priority to check other options). When prompted for which device to install grub on, I accepted the default value offered, '(hd0)'. This turned out to be a mistake. I followed the prompts about rebooting the system, pulled the USB key when the system was just starting to do its power-up sequence, and was rewarded with Operating System Not Found from the BIOS. The problem turned out to be that grub had guessed wrongly which partition it should install to. The grub config was actually correct, referring to (hd1,0) and using the correct UUID in the boot config. /etc/fstab was also consistent, referring to the swap partition as being on /dev/sdb2. Nevertheless it seems there is an inconsistency here. If I told grub no, install to (hd1), then the correct MBR would have been updated (the one on the internal hard disk), but it's unclear if the system would have been bootable, because of the (hd1,0) reference in the config file. The two disks were probably enumerated in the order usb stick hard disk because I had to change the boot priority order in the BIOS to get the system to boot from the USB stick. To avoid this kind of issue, it seems the grub installation process needs to give the user some more information about what disks it sees and ask for guidance about which to install the bootloader on. Partman handles this pretty well now, and I'd like to see grub do as good a job, instead of (what appears to be) just guessing. Isn't it reasonably straightforward to iterate through device.map and pull things out of /dev/disk/by-id; displaying a table like [*] hd0 /dev/sda usb-USBDisk_RunDisk_0705261622141-0:0 [ ] hd1 /dev/sdb ata-SAMSUNG_HM169HI_S1WWJF0S395641 and asking the user to select the right disk? To avoid even listing the USB stick, and thus avoid having to ask the question at all in most cases, it seems it should be possible to check for some file specific to the installer, but I can see the dangers in this. I thought the cd-probing code etc already determined which filesystem contains the installer? Another option is to prompt with a default choice, as now, but give the user a 'go back' option which would lower the curent question priority. This would allow display of the 'select from the list of possible disks' question at that time. I could not see how to start a shell in order to check that grub-install had got the disk name right. I tried , but this seems not to work in the GTK installer? I don't recall trying . To recover, I did this: * power off * insert usb key * power up * I see a grub menu now - wait for it to boot. system boots perfectly. * login * noticed /dev/sda1 was not mounted, 'df /' pointed to /dev/sdb1 (the USB stick) * mount /dev/sda1 /mnt * sed -ie 's/hd1,0/hd0,0/' /boot/grub/menu.lst * tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 |grep UUID (check it matches UUID in menu.lst) * grub-install hd0 * reboot * pull the USB stick when system starts power-up cycle But wait

I have an iMac G3 on which this occurs at every install attempt, so it's very reproducible here. because of that I have not been able to get lenny installed on it. there is one thing about this machine that may be a clue: the hardware clock on the machine appears to have reset to Jan 1 of some year, probably 1970 but without a date command installed it's hard to tell. the system time being so far off might be confusing something in the installer, but I can't begin to guess what. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
