Package: debian-installer
Severity: minor

I installed yesterday lenny with snapshot installer. Installation was
mostly very smooth. Thanks for your great work!

However I created first RAID devices using my disks fully, and then
created encrypted volume on top of RAID devices. Then I noticed that I'd
forgotten to create non-encrypted boot partition, and I tried to remove
created volumes, and change partition table under RAID devices. I did
not find such options, LVM volume groups can be deleted, but encrypted
volume cannot be from installer. (I had to reboot and start partitioning
from scratch to fix my mistake.)

PS. It would also be nice if guided partitioning options could be used
for encrypted volumes or LVM volume groups, not only for physical
disks. That would make it faster to create standard partitions after
advanced partition management is ready.

This is a known issue. See e.g. #381892.

As this is a duplicate report, I'm closing it.

Translation status updated - powerpc uploads still missing

2008-10-11T14:00:24Z

I have updated the translation status file based on current versions of
components.

The fact that some powerpc specific components still have not been
uploaded [1] will affect the translation status for some (mainly new)
languages.

vmelilo-installer has been excluded for the statistics as m68k is not a
release arch.

Cheers,
FJP

Bug#501931: Installing Lenny fails

2008-10-11T10:15:44Z

Package: installation-reports

Boot method: netboot
Image version: both i386 and amd64 daily builds from
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/
http://people.debian.org/~aba/d-i/images/daily/

Date: 2008-10-11 18:00

Machine: AMD Athlon64 X2 4800+ made from parts
Processor: AMD Athlon64 X2 4800+
Memory: 2GByte
Partitions: see attached archive

Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): see attached archive

Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot: [O]
Detect network card: [O]
Configure network: [O]
Detect CD: [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [E]
Partition hard drives: [O]
Install base system: [O]
Clock/timezone setup: [O]
User/password setup: [O]
Install tasks: [O]
Install boot loader: [O]
Overall install: [O]

Comments/Problems:

The box has a four-slot flash card reader that is detected as
/dev/sda - /dev/sdd, the SATA drive is /dev/sde. Consequently,
GRUB is set to boot from first hard disk, but with kernel
and initrd on /dev/sde. This happens with i386 as well as
amd64, and independent of the setting of the disk interface
to IDE or AHCI mode.

The rest of the partially preseeded minimal install was perfect.

Cheers, Herbert
