I think that Romanian localization can benefit from all good wills, either for D-I, or for other things. And, anyway, translating is not enough and reviewing translations is also a good thing to do.

Bug#578338: Acknowledgement (debian-installer: grub-install fails to md0)
Some further information on this ... Today I tried a lenny install on the same system using the lenny installer, but using the existing partition table and raid1 device created during the previously reported failed squeeze installation. I noticed that the partition table was a little odd. fdisk reported the swap partitions I had created did not end on cylinder boundaries and the lenny grub-install also failed. After going back within the installer to delete and re-create the md device and partitions, lenny installation was successful, including grub-install. Seeing that, I decided to see if maybe the daily-image installer would work with the partion tables created from within the lenny installer. It did work fine. So, it seems that something about the partitioner is broken with respect to grub-pc. I use manual partioning, not guided, in all cases. -edrz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

But I see no reason why this should be available through preseeding only. This type of question is exactly why we have expert mode. > In modern machine the default ought to be the most logical option and > ought to work fine (and even provide some performance benefit in some > cases) so this shouldn't be so easy to mess with it IMO. So it should not be asked at default priority and have a very clear description.

Failed to install GRUB on Adaptec controller
Hello guys, I´m trying to install Debian on my server. Some hardware descriptions: - Inel Xeon processor - 03:01.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec (formerly DPT) SmartRAID V Controller (rev 01) There is configured by hardware one RAID 5 on four scsi disks of 73GB. I tryed with Lenny and Squeeze versions and both presented the same error when the install try to install grub: main-menu[1250]: INFO: Falling back to the package description for auto-install main-menu[1250]: INFO: Falling back to the package description for ai-choosers main-menu[1250]: INFO: Menu item 'grub-installer' selected grub-installer: info: architecture: i386/generic main-menu[1250]: WARNING **: Configuring 'grub-installer' failed with error code 1 main-menu[1250]: WARNING **: Menu item 'grub-installer' failed. The disk partitioner find the array on /dev/i2o/hdax depending of my partition table, I guess that my array should be on /dev/sdax, my partition table is below: /boot - primary partition 200MB (ext3) - flag boot on LVM´s /- lvm 30GB (ext3) /var/log - lvm 20GB (ext3) /var - lvm 150GB (ext3) swap - lvm 2GB (linux swap) This problem is in the kernel that don´t load by default i2o drivers? PS: I installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 and it work fine, the grub was installed with no problems. Question: There is a bug with Debian installer when work with Adaptec controllers? I´m looking for solutions but I not found one yet. Thanks for attention, Cristian

If you try to launch the win32-loader.exe from the package in a Windows host, it will fail (bug #464233). My position is that src:win32-loader should build more than one package, with various flavours: win32-loader-cd and win32-loader-standalone for example - this would ease the setup of goodbye-microsoft.com-like hosts. > @get.debian.net: Maybe you want to host the installer directly? > > Or even better, this installation method could be added to > http://www.debian.org/distrib/? > > Greetings, > Joachim I am beginning to think that a "debian.exe" should be provided from a d.o host. That might be alongside the CDs as an official way to install Debian or from a different subdomain.

Bug#578593: ethernet card assumed
Severity: wishlist Package: installation-reports Installation fails if one does not have a wired Ethernet card, even though there may be perfectly working wireless cards that even connect when using a 2003 version of Knoppix. P.S., http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch04s03.html sends the user in several unknown directions looking for the parts needed it mentions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
