Bug#267432: other operating systems selected as default does not work

2004-08-22 Thread Florian Effenberger
Package: debian-installer
Version: Release Candidate 1
When you have other non-Unix OSes on the disk and the debian-installer 
install them in /boot/grub/menu.lst, the entry "other operating 
systems", which acts as a title to them, is selected as default; but 
this does not work. The OS should be selected instead.

Bug#228848: want to disable hardware auto detection on bootup

2004-01-21 Thread Florian Effenberger
Package: boot-floppies
Version: current from testing's netinst CD

I want to disable the hardware auto detection on bootup, because it does not
always work reliably. The method with /etc/modules.conf is sometimes better
:)

Bug#228848: want to disable hardware auto detection on bootup

2004-01-21 Thread Florian Effenberger
Hi Eric,

ah, that's good to know, thanks.

It would be good if the installer could ask whether you want autodetection
or not, WHILE and AFTER installation.

Bug#236907: Installer should be able to launch SSHD for installation

2004-03-08 Thread Florian Effenberger
Package: debian-installer
Version: unknown

The installer should be able to launch SSHD for installation. This is
especially useful for remote installations. My suggestion:

- The kernel has to be booted with sshd=true root_password=12345
- Then the installer does not launch on tty1, but on the first successful
SSH connection for root (password set via root_password)
- In that mode, SSHD should be installed automatically, so the installation
can continue after the first reboot via SSH

Please see also my other bug report that will be filed in some minutes,
regarding the autostart function of the CD which is useful for rebooting in
that mode, so no CD has to be changed.

Bug#236908: CD should only boot on key press

2004-03-08 Thread Florian Effenberger

The CD should only boot on keypress, like the Windows NT (ugh!) CD does:

   Please press any key to start from the Debian GNU/Linux CD,
   otherwise normal BIOS boot order will continue in seven seconds.

2004-03-09 Thread Florian Effenberger
The last one I tested was Beta 2 of the install CD.

My suggestion is not just booting only on a keypress, but booting in the
normal BIOS boot order (i.e. normally hda, hdb, hdc, ...) if NO key is
pressed. Exactly like the Windows NT/2000/XP CDs do.

The problem seems to be a different one.
Due to the default PAM configuration, a "passwd" uses MD5 passwords.
The initial installer, however, creates DES passwords.

Shall I file a new bug for that?

Bug#237610: installer creates only DES encrypted passwords

2004-03-12 Thread Florian Effenberger
The installer asks the password for root and optionally the password for the
normal user account. These passwords are saved in /etc/shadow.

However, they are NOT encrypted with MD5 (i.e. strings beginning with $1$ in
/etc/shadow), but with DES. When you change passwords via "passwd", they are
encrypted using MD5 correctly.

Bug#237610: installer creates only DES encrypted passwords

2004-03-12 Thread Florian Effenberger
Sorry for the confusion ;)

What I meant was that "passwd" after installation CORRECTLY creates MD5 sums
due to the CORRECT md5 entry in the appropriate PAM file.

So: PAM is just fine. Only the installer has a bug. It's not creating MD5
passwords.

On th 20040901 nightly build of the Debian installer (netinstall), a 
ICH4 IDE hard disk is not being detected. Unfortunately, I had only 
short access to this machine, so I cannot send in more information right 
now.

dmesg showed the (Samsung 80 GB w/ 2 MB cache) drive as hda, cfdisk 
couldn't access it, neither could the installer.

Works fine in RC1 (20040801).

Bug#269809: ICH4 IDE hard disk not being detected

2004-09-04 Thread Florian Effenberger
Hi Joey,
This begs the question of how you ran it, if you didn't bother to look
for a device node (which would be in devfs syntax, so not /dev/hda).
IIRC, cfdisk has to be told the device to run on, you must have told it
something or it would have given you a usage message.
Sorry, I'm not quite familiar with the DevFS syntax. You mean 
/dev/discs/discX addressing?

I ran cfdisk with cfdisk /dev/hda, just as I'm used to it.

Bug#269809: ICH4 IDE hard disk not being detected

2004-09-04 Thread Florian Effenberger
Hi Joshua,
This could have been due to the broken 2.4.27 kernel images that the 
netinst was built upon.

Try again in a few days when the new udebs have been built against.
Okay, if I get a chance to get to the machine again (it's not mine and 
it is being used as a production server right now), I will try to do so. 
Is there anything else I could try to do that might help you debugging?
