Yup, this is biting me too... Sorry for the long stream-of-conscious
report here, but I wrote as I worked through this issue and it shows. ;)
I don't know what someone may find important or not.
It's an odd bug though. When I create a small /boot partition as the
first item in the recipe, it r

There is a bug in the udev-udeb package where the default permissions of
/dev/null are incorrect. This has caused issues with packages like
postgresql-8.3 failing to install correctly.

I have a situation where I want to use a single, custom debian installer
initrd, but want to preseed network configuration differences between
production cdrom and development netboot installers.

Oops! I used the wrong preseed hostname value in my last diff. The
correct value is get_hostname not dhcp_hostname. I've updated the patch.

Howdy,
I use the Debian installer to install boxes using custom packages from
both a cd-rom and netboot preseeded process. Right now I'm looking at
migrating from Lenny to the current pre-Squeeze debian installer to test
the waters for the upcoming release. Plus we got in some new hardware
that do
Package: partman-base
Version: 144
While testing a preseeded install that preserves a data partition
(moving from lenny to squeeze), we discovered that the change from
cylinder to optimal alignment makes the preserved filesystem unusable.
Create a partition scheme like this in Lenny:
/ = 10G
Package: cdrom-detect
Version: 1.33
I'm doing some testing on the squeeze debian-installer package from svn.
In the Lenny release, when installing from a USB CD-ROM it sometimes
took longer to load the modules, spin up the drive and get a response
before the mount command would fail. This meant th
For what it's worth, doing the following made the issue go away for us:
Index: packages/cdrom-detect/debian/cdrom-detect.postinst

--- packages/cdrom-detect/debian/cdrom-detect.postinst (revision 64821)
+++ packages/cdrom-detect/d
I spoke too soon. If I let the drive completely stop and then wait a
minute or two on the isolinux boot screen, the issue appears again. I'll
try a few other things to see if I can wake up the device before mount
is called.

Okay, I've got some more info now. It looks like the initial call to
"list-devices cd" occurs before the usb-storage device scan is complete
or at least before the sysfs files have settled. This device scan can
take much longer if the CD/DVD drive is completely spun down.
I am not proud of this co
