dmraid 1.0.0.rc16
Hi, I'm going to upload dmraid 1.0.0.rc16 (already in experimental) in unstable. The only relevant change for d-i is the SONAME bump, so now we have libdmraid1.0.0.rc16-udeb. Is it ok for you? Cheers, Giuseppe. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I would like to send a patch for the errata, where is it kept in svn? Also against which package should bugs against the errata be filed? In http://bugs.skolelinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1395 I've documented two workarounds: a.) remove the usbstick after the firmware has been loaded b.) to document how to do it with the usbstick kept plugged in: wait til the end, change to a shell, run: "chroot /target" and then: "grub-install /dev/cciss/c0d0". that should work too. Also, it would be good test if the bug is still present in the current daily images - unfortunatly I lack the hardware to test myself, so I've cc:ed the original submitter of the bug. A Debian-Edu user gave the squeeze daily a try today, but unfortunatly it didnt load the firmware from the usbstick in the first place... regards, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

The errata file is kept in Debian www CVS repository. webwml/english/devel/debian-installer I'd say that the package to send the bug report about could be debian-installer itselfnot really optimal, though. One should notice that I have pending changes for the errata file (supposedly in preparation for alpha1.but many items are probably missing). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Should it be marked as bootable? I'm not sure which platform this is about exactly, but the rule "the /boot partition must be marked bootable" is not correct for all cases. In general (at least on x86) the rule is "the partition *on which the bootloader is installed* should be marked bootable (and in the case the bootloader is installed in the MBR, that's the first partition). There is nothing that guarantees the bootloader is installed in the /boot partition, or that the /boot partition is the first partition on the disk.

I hadn't realised that Simon had made this change. That was the whole _point_. Put the popular architectures first, and call them something meaningful, ie: [x86 32-bit] [x86 64-bit] [PowerPC] The exact names are debatable of course, but expecting people to deduce that 'amd64' is the right link to click on for their shiny new Intel Xeon system clearly isn't working. > The current pages would IMO be more improved by adding a clear link to a > *separate* page with info on "how to choose the correct architecture", > which contains a clear description of what each architecture is.

Also, making this change *only* for the image links is IMO not a good idea because it just introduces yet another identification for architectures. We already use too many different names and descriptions in different places. > Why should users have to learn what Debian's internal name for their > architecture is? Because that is what they see/need when they look at the sources.list or package names? > I have no objection to changing the layout. I would prefer a full redesign over just changing the layout. The current pages are problematic exactly because they try to fit everything on a single page and thus allow little room for explanation. But OTOH that's also their great strength for users who *do* know what they want, so solving the issue by linking to separate page(s) that add a good explanation of what's what is still an option too. An alternative could be to have a single page per release per architecture. Such pages would allow for much more information about the architecture (including links to related architectures) and more information about the different images. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
