Package: oldsys-preseed Version: 3.15 Severity: grave Tags: patch Doing a test install of jessie on my TS-419 I get asked (via the serial) for a serial port and a ssh password. I happen to have a serial port but these devices mostly do not and are supposed to be headless.
I'm using the images from http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-armel/20150418/images/kirkwood/network-console/qnap/ts-41x/ >From the logs there is no sign of oldsys-preseed running. Poking around in the shell I see: ~ # sh -x /usr/bin/oldsys-preseed + set -e + . /usr/lib/oldsys-preseed/functions + NONINTERACTIVE=yes + FILE=/preseed.cfg + archdetect + + sed s/Hardware\s*:\s*// grep ^Hardware /proc/cpuinfo + machine=QNAP TS-41x + cat /proc/device-tree/model + dt_model= ~ # IOW due to set -e it exits early on systems where /proc/device-tree/model does not exist, since the cat fails. By commenting out that one line things seem to progress in a way which looks promising (i.e. much more spew than above). I think the most plausible solution would be: diff --git a/oldsys-preseed b/oldsys-preseed index f60196f..4cd7138 100755 --- a/oldsys-preseed +++ b/oldsys-preseed @@ -115,7 +115,11 @@ case "`archdetect`" in arm*/orion5x | arm*/kirkwood) machine=$(grep "^Hardware" /proc/cpuinfo | sed 's/Hardware\s*:\s*//') # /proc/device-tree may not exist on all architectures - dt_model=$(cat /proc/device-tree/model 2>/dev/null) + if [ -e /proc/device-tree/model ] ; then + dt_model=$(cat /proc/device-tree/model 2>/dev/null) + else + dt_model="UNKNOWN" + fi if echo "$machine" | grep -q "^Buffalo/Revogear Kurobox Pro"; then check_file /proc/mtd rootfs=$(get_mtdblock "rootfs") I'll build an image and test that shortly. Severity grave because d-i is mostly useless on qnap hardware (and headless orion or kirkwood generally) with this issue, at least for non-DT systems, which I think is still most of them in Jessie.
