Package: linux-image-3.2.0-4-486 Version: 3.2.35-2 Severity: grave Tags: d-i patch Justification: renders package unusable
I've just installed the debian-wheezy-DI-rc1-i386-netinst.iso installer on a Lenovo S10e netbook with a Intel Atom N270 1.60GHz by doing this onto a USB thumb drive: dd if=debian-wheezy-DI-rc1-i386-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdb It does show the splash screen, but when I select "Install", it just hangs there, and never boots. Running "install intel_idle.max_cstate=0" boots, and that's how I was able to run the install. Otherwise the install process worked perfectly. Apparently its an old bug, I found a discussion of the issue and the workaround that I used here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/634702 After the install, I tried installing the same kernel that the installer uses (linux-image-3.2.0-4-486) and rebooting to it. That worked fine. It seems that is a different version than the version the installer uses: $ file /mnt/install.386/vmlinuz /mnt/install.386/vmlinuz: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 3.2.0-4-486 (debian-ker...@lists.debian.org) #1 Debian 3.2.35-2, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA $ file /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-486 /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-486: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 3.2.0-4-486 (debian-ker...@lists.debian.org) #1 Debian 3.2.41-2, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 DI-rc1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
