Package: debian-installer Version: sid Severity: important Tags: sid I am trying to install Debian Wheezy with the latest daily buils of sid installers available. I tried both the netboot image for powerpc: 1. http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/powerpc/daily/powerpc/netboot/mini.iso and the netisntall image: 2. http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/daily- builds/daily.new/current/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso
In both cases I remastered the images to include a preseed.cfg file. I will start with the netboot image: 1. netboot daily build 02.08.2011 00:05 16M) Very early in the installation it fails to load the debconf preconfiguration file. "The file needed for preconfiguration could not be retrieved from file:///cdrom/preseed.cfg". Syslog reports: INFO: Menu item 'file-preseed' selected WARNING: Configuring 'file-preseed' failed with error code 1 It should be noted that my USB device (/dev/sda) showed up in syslog with dmesg. The device could not be manually mounted in a busybox shell. 2. netinstaller (daily build #5 for PowerPC 02.08.2011) Problem at hardware detection of CDROM again. In syslog /dev/sda showed up. cdrom-detect: Searching for Debian installation media... cdrom-detect: Devices: '/dev/hde' cdrom-detect: CD-ROM mount failed: device=/dev/hde fstype=iso9660 cdrom-detect: mount: mounting /dev/hda1 on /media failed it then tried all other partions hda2-hda7 of my hard disk It also tried to find a floppy device on /dev/fd0 The installer did not consider to try /dev/sda. Manually mounting /dev/sda on /cdrom worked in a busybox shell. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-powerpc 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".
