I confirmed that this is happening with a fresh checkout from CVS this
evening, under both netboot and netboot_2.6 builds. I've not read the
hardware detection and module loading parts of this installer before
and will probably not dig deeper this evening.
Thanks

Version: 2.38
Severity: normal
The debconf-seed feature of base-config doesn't work.
At build time, debian/rules runs
dh_install lib/* usr/lib/base-config/
and that doesn't set the execute permission on any of the scripts.
Thus, the base-config menu system won't run
I have Debian 0.93 on CD. What do you need them for?

/sys/bus/pnp does enumerate the serial and parallel ports on my system.
This role would, I guess, be taken over by ACPI on legacy-free systems.
Thanks

Question: what about ISA? A lot of us use old ISA junk
for all of our test machines. Any plans for some sort
of hotplug support for it? Or semi-almost-sometimes
support, given the nature of ISA
Bruce:
It sounds to me as if the path the kernel developers want us to take is
to integrate most knowledge currently in discover and kudzu into
hotplug. All devices present on the system should generate hotplug
events, and the installer can capture those. Hotplug would use udev.
Sven:
Pardon me if I express naivete, I've been away from this for a long time.
First discover1 will NOT work with 2.6 Devfs support in 2.6 has been obsoleted and is often broken.

Hmm, seems to happen if the build system is running a 2.6 kernel.
And could well indicate a bug in depmod, too. But in any case, I think
you need that -F to find undefined symbols due to missing modules.

Depmod breaks in the d-i build scripts because my development system isn't
running the same kernel as the one being placed on the install media. I think
the kernel image udeb should include boot/System.map-${KERNEL_IMAGEVERSION},
and that should be passed to the -F flag of depmod. You can remove it

Here's my commentary on the Woody branch of the todo file. Sorry about the
false start.

I responded to the wrong branch of the "todo" file. Stand by, I'll do it again.

Here is stuff I can do from the "todo" file, can I have feedback on whether
I should work on any of these, or something else, please?
Thanks

Adam and Co.,
Do you still need help with the boot floppies? I can give you some help. HP
expects me to spend about half of my time on Open Source projects, and this
one qualifies.
It should suffice to say that I've done this before :-)
Thanks
