Package: debian-installer Version: ? Severity: important Tags: Dear Maintainer,
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso with website date "2015-08-13 10:40" do not boot in qemu of Deban 8.1. (As advised by Ian Campbell on debian-cd, i report against debian-installer. But i do not know its version and reportbug is unhappy that debian-installer is not installed. So i have to create this bug mail manually from an older one.) ---------------------------------------------------------------- How to reproduce: Any senseful combination of {i386 mini.iso, amd64 mini.iso} x {qemu-system-i386 , qemu-system-x86_64} x {-cdrom , -hda} is broken currently. E.g.: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -cdrom mini.iso -boot d qemu-system-i386 -enable-kvm -m 512 -hda mini.iso El Torito boot record and MBR properly lead to isolinux.bin which gets stuck after its startup message. Famous last words are "ETCD" or "EHDD", depending on -cdrom or -hda. SeaBIOS (version 1.7.5-20140531_083030-gandalf) ... ISOLINUX 6.03 20150812 ETCD top shows qemu running at 103% CPU on a 4/8 core Xeon. (I understand 1.03 cores are busy at 3900 MHz.) debian-8.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso boots fine and installs. The minis do not have the EFI boot equipment which netinst.iso has. But i doubt that this is the reason. I would normally blame it on the SYSLINUX version. But the successful netinst.iso has in its isolinux.bin the string ISOLINUX 6.03 20150107 So no major version jump to see. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.1 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- no debconf information
