This is a known issue for some USB keyboards that has already been fixed 
for when we change over to the 2.6.32 kernel in the installer.

At this point I fail. The build process wants to install packages like
acpi-modules-2.6.26-2-686-di but they seem not to be in the scope of my

In case we do decide on inclusion in gcc, here is an updated patch for 4.4 
and the additional patch for 4.5.

Changes:
- added libgcc[246] udebs for m68k/hppa
- the udeb should not be cross-built, so I removed the bits in the
  control.m4 file that IIUC are to enable that

I've successfully tested the patches for standard builds:
- gcc-4.4 for amd64 and hppa;
- gcc-4.5 for amd64.

Doesn't that already answer your question about the user interface? :-)

One request: please make vlan support optional so that netcfg still works 
when the bits needed for it are not available. It's probably not relevant 
for all architectures.

For installs where netcfg is run after anna (CD-based installs), the 
loading of additional udebs should probably be done by the relevant part 
of hw-detect (ethdetect) and not by netcfg itself. And for e.g. netboot 
images the vlan udeb would need to be included in the initrd for relevant 
architectures.

With britney support it won't change anything for GCC maintainers
since it will migrate automatically when it is ready (normal rules for
testing) so I see no point in making it harder using an extra source.

In most cases, VLAN means _lots_ of interfaces, so chances are that it is not
really an edge node. But this was not the reason why I included stp and garp.

AFAIR, 8021q doesn't load without garp, which in turn doesn't load without
stp (or the other way around). But I will double-check to make sure that only
needed modules will be really loaded.

The amd64+i386+powerpc netinst iso seems to be missing the
install.{386,amd}/xen directory. These are included in the daily builds
since VARIANTS=xen is set in the right places in cronjob.daily from
svn://svn.debian.org/debian-cd/setup.

Do I need to send a patch to somewhere else to have official release
builds include this variant?

During the installation it is an edge node.

I just wanted to double check that this method would be in-line with the
design of d-i and the opinions of the core-developer. As you can see, it was
good to ask :-)

Hmm, I intended to make it the other way around: netcfg would anna-install
the vlan stuff only when it sees that the chosen interface matches one of
the patterns for vlan interfaces.

But at that time the interface chosen interface is not known. So deducing
from chosen interface name (as outlined above) is not possible and this
method would only work with preseeding or if additional questions are asked.

> And for e.g. netboot 
> images the vlan udeb would need to be included in the initrd for relevant

Oh, I've completely forgotten about netboot. To be honest, I have no clue
what this means exactly. Can you point me to some information about that?

BTW:
Actually there are two udebs:
 - one udeb created from vlan.deb (only the XC-Package-Type line needs to
   be added to debian/control)
 - the kernel modules would be created via kernel-wedge

Is it OK to do it this way or does d-i have its own framework to create the
udebs?

Just to be clear: that's a busybox option that's currently disabled.

You can simply build a custom version of busybox with it enabled (see 
debian/config/udeb) for your development and testing before requesting it 
to be enabled. It can then be enabled when we have a full (tested) set of 
patches.

No. The sequence should be:
- if the interfaces are there, hw-setup should install additional needed
  stuff
- if additional needed stuff is not available, netcfg should not offer
  the interfaces for selection

Just build the target and use the mini.iso for your development and 
testing. It's by far the easiest way to develop new functionality anyway.

See further the document I pointed t earlier, especially the comments about 
localudebs and pkg-lists/local.

Not needed according to Bastian.

>  - the kernel modules would be created via kernel-wedge

Correct. Only question is whether they should be in a separate udeb, or 
included in one of the existing network-drivers udebs. That depends on:
- size
- whether it is generally needed/useful or only for selected arches.

I think a separate udeb is the best option to start with.

Daily Debian Installer builds

2010-01-29 Thread Frans Pop
FYI

I've taken over the daily builds of Debian Installer for s390 as lophos has 
been down for well over a month now.

If the service on lophos is ever reinstated, or if someone wants to set up 
(and manage) the builds on a regular buildd I'll be happy to stop them 
again.

The link on the D-I page [1] (after next website build) and the build 
overview page have been updated.

You're right. I'd noticed it as well, but ignored it as just a result of 
incomplete translations :-/

I've uploaded a fixed version.

Cheers,

Re: Bug#433568: VLANs during install are important

Umm, I don't think this would work with vlan. See, a vlan is not a piece
of hardware that you can auto detect. All that you get is your normal
network interface (e.g. eth0) which you have anyway. Although this interface
is detected, there is no way to tell whether you want to run vlans on that
interface or whether you want to use it as an ordinary iface. AFAICS, all
you can get from hw-setup is your plain-vanilla interface (e.g. eth0). The
vlan interfaces won't spring into existence until you load the required
kernel modules and create them with commands like

  vconfig set_name_type DEV_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD
  vconfig eth0 5

This will create eth0.5 (may get a different name, depends on the naming
scheme, which has also to be configured by vconfig, as shown above)

See the chicken+egg problem here? You have to load the modules and execute
vconfig to create the interface. So you can not rely on hw-setup to load
the udebs since there's no way for hw-setup to know that the vlan udebs
need to be loaded in the first place.

This is why my original proposal was to decide from the value of
netcfg/chosen_interface whether to load/configure all the vlan stuff.
If chosen_interface matches one of the vlan naming schemes, then load
and configure the vlan stuff appropriately. AFAICS, hw-setup is too
early to parse chosen_interface and decide whether it matches one of
the vlan naming schemes.

Building the installer is not exactly an everyday-task for me, so please
be patient with me. It may take some time until I get my head around it.

BTW: I could use a little bit hand-holding on this topic ;-)

Somehow I managed to miss that, and google seems not to have it in its
index (yet?). Can you give me some more pointer?

Would be just a change in a config option, right? So that's not really a
big deal and could be done independently of the changes we are discussing
in this thread, right? So, _PLEASE_ consider to activate this option
independently from the results on this thread. Then, people would be able
to configure vlans manually even if the efforts in this thread would fail
for whatever reason...

The required modules are (size might vary with kernel version...):

 8021q.ko   32328 bytes
  garp.ko   13460 bytes
   stp.ko4456 bytes

Thats a total of about 50 kbytes.

BTW: I have double-checked now. 8021q won't load without garp. And garp
 won't load without stp. So I think the question that appeared earlier
 in this thread can be answered now: all three modules are needed.
 We would have to talk to the kernel developers to change that.

So you would *always* show vlan interfaces, even for regular users on 
normal systems? I don't think I like that idea very much.
Note that during most installs the dialog to select an interface is not 
even displayed currently (if there's only one) and we certainly wouldn't 
want to change that.

It's also linked in the wiki, but:

It would also mean a size increase of the initrd for all architectures...
We usually don't do make such changes lightly.

Please check that it works first and try to implement proper support. If 
that does not work out we can always discuss alternatives.

As I read the original proposal, it was actually only a preseeded option --
if you preseeded netcfg/choose_interface to have a VLANesque name (eth0.X),
then vconfig would be invoked, otherwise no such luck.  Personally, I think
that if you're going to go to the trouble of implementing it, a (low)
priority question would be worth the hassle, but personally I don't see why
anyone would ever want to install over a *tagged* VLAN, myself.  But then, I
don't work in a fortress of intransigence, and I get to manage my own
network ports.

Bug#567590: debian-installer: GPT with RAID fails to install

2010-01-29 Thread Zachary Palmer
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

I have a system containing two 2TB SATA drives which I have configured into a 
RAID1 and am using through LVM.  When using the Debian 5.03 amd64 installer, I 
was unable to use the partitioner provided in the menus to install.

When the partitioner started, I created new partition tables on the otherwise 
empty drives.  Because the drives are so large (2TB each), the installer wisely 
suggested that I use GPT rather than the traditional MBR partition table.  I 
created a new GPT on each drive with a single partition (named "RAID1-0" and 
"RAID1-1" respectively).

I then chose to configure software RAID; this is the point at which things 
broke down.  I received an error message indicating that there were no Linux 
RAID/Autodetect partitions available and that I should format one of my drives 
to create one.  It is my suspicion that the check to ensure that RAID 
partitions exist is assuming an MBR-style partition table.

I ran an mdadm --create command from the secondary terminal and restarted the 
partitioner.  When it rescanned the disks and discovered my RAID1 already in 
place, I was able to set up LVM without difficulty.

Bug#567590: Reproducable

2010-01-29 Thread Zachary Palmer
I managed to reproduce the problem on my laptop with a KVM instance and 
two 8G QEMU drive images.  I used the i386 Debian 5.03 net installer CD 
and started an expert install.  I put a GPT on each of the two drives 
and created a single partition on each.  I instructed the installer to 
use each as a physical device for software RAID.


Here's the interesting bit.  I sped through the menus and discovered 
that the RAID system was quite happy to create a RAID1 for me.  I went 
back, deleted the RAID, and started over.  The second time, I was able 
to reproduce the bug.  The only difference between these two runs was 
that I remembered to flag both drives as bootable the second time.  It 
seems that a bootable GPT partition is the problem; the RAID menu system 
doesn't seem to see it.  (Again, mdadm works just fine.)


Cheers,

Zach
