Installation on SCSI Disk

[Herbert Arnolds]

The installation disk is connected on a Advansys-SCSI-Controller.
The installation from the i386-version COLONY-3 Stage-1 works fine.
On start of installation Stage-2 the installation partition is not found
and the installation ends abnormaly.

Can you provide some more information about what error message you are getting on the screen?
It is very hard to track down errors if I don't have any error message to go by.

see error no 6681 on ubuntu version 05/04.

This looks like something went wrong during the generation of the initramfs image;
can you try a daily install (available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/)
and see if that works better?

I'm also reassigning the bug to Jeff Bailey who is the initramfs guru, but I'll leave myself
in Cc.

I have installed the daily version from 2005-09-30 on the scsi-device sda5.
in the installation stage 1 following error messages are dispayed:
"Unable to install initrd-tools
An error was returned while trying to install the initrd-tools package
onto the target system.
Check /target/var/log/bootstrap.log for the detailes."

The dataset /var/log/bootstrap.log is not present on the target partition.

[Herbert Arnolds (herbert-arnolds)]

I have installed the daily version 2005-10-01 also on the SCSI-Device sda5.
In the installation stage 1 an error information is:
Package zlib1g is not installed.

[Herbert Arnolds (herbert-arnolds)]

I have installed the rc1 version on my scsi-partition.
The problem is fixed.
This problem entry can be closed.
