This could be related to bug #694082. 1. Before or just after configuring the keyboard get a terminal with ALT F2. 2. Then nano /bin/mountmedia/ 3. Find PARTITION_TYPE="$(blkid -p -s PART_ENTRY_TYPE $1 | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | cut -d \" -f 2)" if [ "$PARTITION_TYPE" != "0x5" ] && [ "$PARTITION_TYPE" != "0xf" ]; then mount $1 -tauto $MNT || true umount $MNT || true mount $1 -tauto $MNT media_mounted && checkcontents $MNT fi and reduce it to mount $1 -tauto $MNT || true umount $MNT || true mount $1 -tauto $MNT media_mounted && checkcontents $MNT 4. Save and continue with the installation.

A vfat partition is ideal. ext2 is possible but it involves fiddling so I'd avoid it. Loose firmware files or .debs in the root directory is the way to go. I'd ignore the warning; please see bug #483781. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

There has been mention in recent weeks of some display problems(#605076 and #690586 are two such reports), not all necessarily related to each other. Your issue may be unconnected with them too.

This seems to be a bug in the multiarch documentation instead. What exact documentation? Most of it is mainly on wikis currently, but I think this should be covered. > How can I (or where can I read how to) mark as foreign as you suggest? That's something that needs to be done on the source package, so it needs to go through the maintainer.

I still don't see why using foreign wine with a foreign libgl1-nvidia-glx would require to install a foreign X server too, AFAIR I've used such setup but w/ a foreign -mesa-glx and mesa-dri package. OTOH wanting to use a foreign X server does not invalidate these bug reports, so I guess this does not matter much.

I'm not sure if there's a sane default here and would appreciate if others could chime in with their opinion. Things like "would we need to chmod 0600 /e/n/i?", "would all tools cope with /e/n/i being 0600 if so" and "should we write an entry that might prevent later installations of network connection management tools to work correctly?".

Bug#693756: addendum: wifi
the wifi issue was not rfkill related; rather, the wifi just has very low signal strength, looks like a powersaving mode that's active even though it shouldn't. i haven't found out more yet, i'll keep this bug report updated. a thing i forgot to mention: not only asks the installer for the wifi firmware in firmware-brcm80211, but also for ethernet firmware in firmware-realtek. ethernet works without the firmware as well, though probably at reduced speed. i've assembled instructions for installing debian on e135 devices at [1]. it contains some information that doesn't really belong in an installation report, but could be useful for people who end up here anyway.
