This page tracks problems with the DebianInstaller daily developmental builds on a daily basis. If you are using a daily build and it breaks, check here before filing a bug report.
This is not intended as a replacement for the BTS, just a quick list of the most pressing issues of the day. This page is maintained by the d-i developers. We only list issues here that affect many users. If you feel an issue should be added, please ask on #debian-boot on irc.debian.org or send an e-mail to debian-boot@lists.debian.org.
Note
The issues listed below do not affect official releases; see the errata for the relevant release instead:
[http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/ Official Sarge installation images (3.1r0)] - [http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/index#errata errata]
[http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ D-I Etch Beta1] - [http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata errata]
Also, daily builds sometimes fail. Check this page to see if a daily build is current or failing: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/build-logs.html
Current issues
- [30 Jan 06] m68k: not installable due to missing packages; exact cause unknown but related to m68k not being a release architecture at the moment
- [1 Aug 05] sparc: netboot image needs to be passed ramdisk_size=16000 to boot the 2.4 kernel properly.
Past issues
- [27 Sep 05] S/390: starting from version 1.6.23-1, libparted and thus partconf no longer recognizes existing partitions on a dasd volume.
[05 Feb 06] udev 0.084-2 breaks unstable installs. [http://bugs.debian.org/351486 #351486]. Fixed in udev 0.084-3
[29 Jan 06] hppa: not installable due to missing packages resulting from [http://bugs.debian.org/341675 #341675].
- [03 Feb 06] d-i etch beta1 broken by accidental propigation of base-config 2.76 to testing. Breaks all images except for netinst and full CD/DVDs. Daily builds are ok. Fixed by rollback!
- [25 Jan 06] netinst CD is missing e2fsprogs and other packages and doesn't work
- [13 Oct 05] Low memory (~32 mb) installs are currently known to be broken with 2.6 kernel. Fixed in lowmem 1.17 and sid_d-i build from Jan 20th
- [19 Jan 06] Endless messages that the debconf template database cannot be initialized.
- [16 Jan 06] Script error in lowmem check (#348403 and #348567).
- [03 Jan 06] Due to the yearly changing of the Debian archive key, all network-based installation methods using etch beta 1 and above are currently broken. Fixed with APT 0.6.43.1.
- [11 Nov 05] The netinst iso is too large to fit on a 128 mb USB stick. It will work as a regular CD image or on larger USB sticks for a USB install.
[22 Dec 05] Sparc64 netboot.img fails on "initramfs-tools: Depends klibc-utils (>= 1.0.14-1ubuntu2) but it is installable" ( bugreport #344482 )
- [20 Dec 05] sid d-i installs hang due to the new pkgsel component. Skip the "Select and install software" step in the menu to avoid this.
- [13 Dec 05] AMD64 images are broken because of wrong kernel udebs. A fix is being worked on.
- [09 Dec 05] Base system installations can fail silently because installation of packages is not done non-interactive. This may lead to a later failure, e.g. during bootloader installation.
