Bug#694771: installation-reports: s390x installer creates invalid /etc/network/interfaces
Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I installed Debian Wheezy 64-bit s390x in Hercules emulator according to these instructions: http://www.josefsipek.net/docs/s390-linux/hercules-s390.html * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I followed the instructions (with tunnel IP addresses 192.168.144.1 and 192.168.144.2) When asked for a domain name, I entered nothing - just . (to forward a line to Linux) and enter * What was the outcome of this action? The installation went fine (network was properly working and it was possible to download and install all packages from the network). However, the installer wrote invalid /etc/network/interfaces on the target system. The file has "dns-search " line. Because the keywork "dns-search" doesn't have any parameter, the networking script considers the file syntax invalid, refuses to process the file and networking doesn't work at all in newly booted system. The file lacks a "gateway" option, although gateway was entered during installation. The installer created this /etc/networking/interfaces file: --- # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto ctc0 iface ctc0 inet static address 192.168.144.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 network 0.0.0.0 broadcast 255.255.255.255 pointopoint 192.168.144.1 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed dns-nameservers 192.168.128.1 dns-search --- When I removed "dns-serach " from /etc/network/interfaces and added "gateway 192.168.144.1", networking works fine in the installed system. * What outcome did you expect instead? /etc/network/interfaces should be correct. There shouldn't be "dns-serach " line and there should be "gateway 192.168.144.1" line. *** End of the template - remove these lines *** -- Package-specific info: Boot method: s390x generic kernel and initrd Image version: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-s390x/current/images/generic/ 14th Nov 2012 Date: 30th Nov 2012 Machine: Hercules s390 emulator Partitions: Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card:[O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup:[O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system:[O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader:[O] Overall install:[E] Comments/Problems: -- Please make sure that the hardware-summary log file, and any other installation logs that you think would be useful are attached to this report.

[...] PS: Is anybody working on this bug? It would be a shame if it got into beta2... presumably, you already noticed this bug being fixed at last in beta-4. Regards, Herbert Thanks for the check-back... Yeah, I noticed that Bug#684265 and Bug#686927 got fixed. But then I noticed that this only fixed half the problem. If the other OS partitions are on LVM, they still are not being discovered by the installer. I submitted Bug#690515 for this, but nobody seems to have had the time to look at it yet. I haven't tried this with Beta-4 yet, but I can personally verify that Bug#690515 was definitely present in Beta-3. Given that Bug#684265 and Bug#6869267 were fixed by including the kernel fuse modules in the d-i, I'm hoping that there is another missing set of kernel modules that we need to have available in order to get access into LVM partitions -- once they are properly included, the problem will go away. But it's all seriously dark-grey magic to me and I'm really just guessing. Enjoy! Rick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
