Comments/Problems: It seems that it could not verify that this was RC1 Trixie.
Went back to Bookworm
standard install and it sailed through the network setup..
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
The WPSK wifi setup could not connect to my Wavelink Halo X2 rev B Router
running DHCP using either
wireless password option using the "automatic setup" option. I reconfigured the
network install to
use a static ip address and it sailed right through the network setup. Got
through the install to
finishing up the hard drive partitioning. It appeared to complete that and then
announced it could
not verify the system name. I tried twice and it appeared that it was trying to
verify it was Trixie
RC-1 and not Bookworm which failed. I was unable to get past this. I fell back
to the standard
Bookworm network install which showed the same network bump and sailed all the
way through to completing
the install.
Please make sure that any installation logs that you think would
be useful are attached to this report. (You can find them in the installer
system in /var/log/ and later on the installed system under
/var/log/installer.) Please compress large files using gzip.
I never got this far in the install process. I have no idea how to find the
install log in any
event. One of the things that amazes me is that the install process in Debian
assumes a level of user understanding
that is well beyond the average user. The expectation that a normal user
understands the difference between the
types of wireless password encodings (three different choices) and also what
disk partitions are (and how to set them up)
with the real possibility that they could destroy their installed other system
suggests that this
installer is not directed at most people. It would be perhaps a good idea to
see if you can figure out how to
simplify the wireless setup and disk setup. In any event perhaps a "protect my
existing system and data" install mode
might be worth considering. I realize that it is tough to find an installation
process that both covers an
extremely wide variation in hardware systems and still keeps the process simple
so I applaud how well the
installer works and hope that it will continue to improve.
In the bug report, describe what the problem is, including the last
visible kernel messages in the event of a kernel hang. Describe the
steps that you did which brought the system into the problem state.
