That's more likely the problem.

Most support for Efika MX and SB is there, just
flash-kernel/experimental yet does not work. Adding i.MX53 QSB LOCO
board is pending too.

You need to add omap support to the debian-installer infrastructure.
It is already half supported, it is probably just missing machine
specific bits.

d-i: what is it doing?

2012-02-10 Thread carlyoung

Hi all,

My apologies if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find a definitive 
answer in the archives.

I am PXE installing Ubuntu 10.04 to a VMware guest, which uses the Debian 
installer. The install will run to termination, but there is a strange 'pause' 
in the middle. This pause seems to last for approximately 8 minutes, where the 
virtual CPU is running at 100% looking at the performance, but nothing is 
displayed on the text installer UI.

The F4 console shows "net-retriever: Good signature from "Ubuntu Archive 
Automatic Signing Key "

Having just written this mail - I am now guessing that the installer is now 
verifiying signatures or something, but it hasn't really downloaded too much by 
this point so I would have hoped it wouldn't take 8 minutes. Is there something 
more than DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 that I can use to see what is happening and if I can 
ameliorate the "delay" in any way. I have tried adding virtual CPUs and 
additional to see if that helps in any way, but apparently it doesn't. The 
local disk has not been mounted so I can't see anything being written to that.

While I'm asking - is there any way to access the preseed file from a local 
[hard] disk? I currently have the kernel and initial ramdisk on a local 
partition and bootloaded by syslinux, but I am reading the preseed from an HTTP 
server. I would like to able to read it from the local hard disk, but I have no 
idea how to (if it is possible at all). I guess I could always expand and 
rebuild the initrd if necessary!?

Thanks for any advice anyone can give me,

Regards,

Carl

Bug#659360: debootstrap cannot build Ubuntu Edgy or earlier

2012-02-10 Thread Carlos Corbacho
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.37

debootstrap cannot install Ubuntu Edgy or Ubuntu Breezy. It fails with:

I: Retrieving Release
E: Invalid Release file, no entry for main/binary-i386/Packages

The edgy and breezy scripts need the same fix as was applied for bug #627365 to 
fix Debian Sarge - adding 'force_md5' gets them building again.

The same change is required for dapper and warty as well (feisty and onwards do 
not seem to need this, from some quick testing with debootstrap locally).
