Package: installation-reports Severity: normal I couldn't find the install-report template on my hard disk (maybe I'm not looking at the right place; it used to be in /root, but it's not there now), so I'm doing things manually.
Since Colin's dailies are slightly outdated right now (about a week old), I ran the daily-build script myself (the result is at http://people.debian.org/~wouter/d-i, FTWCA dailies), wrote the mini.iso to a DVD-RW (yeah, I know), and booted off of that. The installation went fine up to the point where I tried to use LVM rather than a "regular" install partition; I could create a physical volume in the partman interface, but when I tried to create a volume group with that one, the LVM interface would quit, and I would be dumped back in the "regular" partman interface. After I'd changed the partition type from being an LVM PV to an XFS filesystem, the installation went on. The reboot didn't work, however. The first message I got was one of RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 8388608 at which point it failed to go on. I tried booting with a different kernel (the one of my already-installed unstable system), but the initrd of that one apparently ignores root= kernel command line parameters, so it didn't help much. I also tried booting with the parameter 'ramdisk_size=20000' (if I tried 10000, it failed a bit further on), but then the system would complain that it could not find root on "unknown-device(0,0)". I have, thus, not been able to boot the freshly-installed system. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-powerpc Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
