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 most 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:

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

  • [8 Sep 05] all CD builds are down, and the last daily CD build is broken.
  • [1 Aug 05] sparc netboot image needs to be passed ramdisk_size=16000 to boot the 2.4 kernel properly
  • [5 Jul 05] images for i386 now use 2.6.11 (2.6.12 as of 4 Aug) kernels, but still install 2.6.8 for the installed system; if your hardware needs modules not in 2.6.8, you should [http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/08/msg01080.html manually update] the kernel before the reboot

  • [1 Jun 05] the weekly testing CD image builds are down

Past issues

  • [9 Sep 05] netcfg crashes when run now. When the bug manifests it makes network installation fail.
  • [21 Aug 05] several components (including network configuration) missing from main menu and therefore not being run; caused by change in the way dpkg builds control files
  • [15 Aug 05] partitioning broken by partman-base change
  • [10 Jul 05] C++ ABI transition has broken debootstrap of sid and thus d-i cannot install sid right now; installing etch will work
  • [4 Aug 05] images for i386 now use 2.6.12 kernels; they do not yet seem stable: [http://bugs.debian.org/322723 networking is broken] and there are strange errors from modprobe; cause of networking breakage traced and a temporary workaround has been implemented in netcfg

  • [3 Aug 05] some mirrors are desynced; this includes some http.us.debian.org mirrors and others and will break installs using those mirrors
  • [3 Aug 05] clock-setup was broken (will be fixed tomorrow)
  • [3 Aug 05] disk-detect is not loaded in some installs (including CD) (should be fixed with 4 Aug mirror pulse and CD build)
  • [2 Aug 05] CD installs used broken initrds with libd-i mismatch, broke nearly everything
  • [1 Aug 05] detection of USB keyboards broken
