This bug was fixed in the package debian-installer - 20080522ubuntu1 --------------- debian-installer (20080522ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low * Bump hd-media image size to 800MB so that Ubuntu ISO images fit on them (LP: #225402). * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: - Ubuntu branding of various kinds. - Use Ubuntu kernels. Various tweaks for different udeb splits. - Fetch distribution name and version number from lsb_release. - Use the full version number in image directories. - Build-depend on belocs-locales-bin. - Various boot screen text adjustments. - Add cli boot options. - Add memtest boot option. - Add live CD boot screens. - Adjust memory size recommendations. - Document pci=noacpi. - Add translatable boot screen text for gfxboot. Adjust existing text to refer to gfxboot UI where appropriate. - Use ubuntu-keyring-udeb (and gpgv-udeb) instead of the Debian archive keyring. - Switch all images to initramfs. - Add netboot images suitable for USB memory sticks. - Remove floppy support, since it never used to work with 2.6. (This may be fixed in the future.) - Disable GTK frontend. - Add kickseed-common and initrd-kickseed to all images containing preseed-common and initrd-preseed. - Add nfs-modules to all netboot images except powerpc, for Kickstart. - kbd-chooser -> console-setup. - Include keymap decision tree in all.utf. - Replace cdebconf-newt-entropy with cdebconf-newt-detect-keys in EXTRAUDEBS. - Add bootchart-udeb to all images. - Add hdparm-udeb to cdrom images. - Add nic-firmware to netboot images and scsi-firmware to cdrom and hd-media images. - Make scsi-firmware optional. - Add oem-config-check to all images. - Ship elilo configuration on i386 for Intel-based Macs. - Use mkvmlinuz's fallback object files on powerpc rather than relying on the kernel's. - Use ${RAMDISK_SIZE} in sparc's silo.conf rather than a hardcoded size. - Add input-modules to the sparc netboot image. - Remove auto-install/ai-choosers targets, at least for now. - Switch i386 builds to the -generic kernel flavour. - Add a new netboot/386 build for i386 that uses the -386 kernel flavour. - Publish separate kernel and initrd for sparc64 netboot. * Backport from trunk: - Test OMIT_WIN32_LOADER in arch_cd_info_dir and arch_miniiso targets as well as arch_boot. * Don't use win32-loader on Ubuntu. * Set default suite to intrepid. * Replace the splash image with a converted copy of the one we use for gfxboot, which fits better with vesamenu. * Adjust vesamenu margin to accommodate our menu item names. * Move to 2.6.26-1 kernels. * Temporarily disable netboot/386 for now; we don't seem to have the pieces needed to build it. debian-installer (20080522) unstable; urgency=low [ Stephen R. Marenka ] * Add atari keymaps to pkg-lists for m68k. [ Frans Pop ] * Lenny will be version 5.0. * Improve consistency between x86 syslinux bootmethod help screens. * Add nic-usb-modules to netboot images for x86 and ia64. [ Otavio Salvador ] * Update to 2.6.24-1 kernel (i386, mipsel, arm, armel and amd64). [ Robert Millan ] * Add images for the versatile platform (armel). [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Activate the images for the MIPS Malta platform (mips and mipsel), thanks Aurelien Jarno. * Remove the QEMU flavour on mips and mipsel since it's replaced by Malta. * Update mips to 2.6.24-1. * Use initramfs rather than cramfs on Cobalt since the initrd is too large. * Use initramfs on MIPS Malta. [ Frans Pop ] * Remove dropped cdrom-modules kernel udebs from package list for i386, amd64 and alpha. * Update to 2.6.24-1 kernel for alpha, hppa, ia64, powerpc, s390 and sparc. * Remove wireless-tools from package lists as it's not required to configure wireless networking. * Remove Alastair McKinstry and Joshua Kwan as Uploaders with many thanks for their past contributions. [ Joey Hess ] * The i386 root floppy has been changed to a bare gzipped cpio file, null-paddded to the end of the floppy. This needs rootskel-bootfloppy version 1.60. * Use syslinux's vesamenu for all x86 images except the boot floppy. * Split up syslinux config files. * Note that the pxelinux config file for serial terminals has been dropped, at least for now, since the split config files made it too difficult to set up. * Note that this needs debian-cd changes to change its code for merging syslinux configs when producing i386+amd64 CDs. * Document the irqpoll boot parameter. Closes: #477988 [ Frans Pop ] * For official builds, include a file with translation status information in images to allow localechooser can warn users for incomplete translations. A current status file should be generated before every upload. [ Otavio Salvador ] * Use genisoimage instead of mkisofs. * Disable i386 floppy image since 2.6.24 kernel image is too big to fit on a floppy. [ Frans Pop ] * Include both version number and codename as release identification. * Add a version.info file inside netboot tarballs. Closes: #475774. [ Otavio Salvador ] * Add cdebconf-text-entropy to common EXTRAUDEBS variable and cdebconf-gtk-entropy on all gtk images. debian-installer (20080227) unstable; urgency=low [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Disable the Netwinder image for now since it's too large. debian-installer (20080224) unstable; urgency=low [ Steve Langasek ] * Drop obsolete boot args from alpha netboot images. * Switch alpha cdrom images from initrd to initramfs (untested, but should work). [ Joey Hess ] * Changes to target lenny. [ Frans Pop ] * Drop build dependency on modutils (only needed for 2.4 kernels). * Excluding non-us for sources.list.udeb should no longer be needed; add exclusion for volatile.debian.{org,net}. * x86: document parameters to disable ACPI and USB on F6 isolinux help screen. * Switch i386, amd64, sparc and s/390 to 2.6.20-1. * Don't include usb-discover in images as USB modules should be loaded automatically now. [ Colin Watson ] * Don't try to mount devfs if $(TREE)/etc/udev exists. * Remove apparently-stray test for /dev/tty that broke tree_umount target for udev builds. * Run the demo in the C.UTF-8 locale. * Correct partman-auto-recipe.txt's descriptions of the $defaultignore, $lvmignore, and $lvmok specifiers to include the $. [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Remove rpc images because RiscPC machines are no longer supported. * Remove DECstation images because these machines are no longer supported. * Switch mips, mipsel and arm to 2.6.20-1. * Cobalt: don't turn the serial console on explicitly since this will kill Qube 2700 boxen and it's on by default on those machines with a serial console anyway. [ Joey Hess ] * Exclude pciutils-udeb from the i386 root floppy as it's out of space again thanks to libc etc bloat and we can do without lspci. Closes: #420078 [ dann frazier ] * Update ia64 to 2.6.20 - omit scsi-common-modules udev since these modules have been merged into the scsi-modules udeb [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Switch arm, mips and mipsel to 2.6.21-1. [ Frans Pop ] * Switch i386, amd64, alpha and s390 to 2.6.21-1. * Include the default release for the target system and the release from which to retrieve udebs in images. The first makes it unnecessary to hardcode the default release in choose-mirror and the last ensures consistency between udebs included in the initrd and udebs retrieved during the installation. See #424640 and #426303. Requires net-retriever 1.18. [ Joey Hess ] * Stop including KEYRING onto initrds. Needs base-installer 1.80 and net-retriever 1.17, which use the udeb, and debian-archive-keyring-udeb 2007.02.19-0.1. * No need to unset KEYRING for floppies anymore. Closes: #423265. * Work around upx-ucl-beta bug #426747. * Exclude core-modules from i386 driver floppies, it's available on the root floppy. [ Stephen R. Marenka ] * m68k: Drop all non-at keymaps, except amiga, since we only support 2.6. * m68k: Add -at keymaps explicitly to atari floppy. * m68k: Add -amiga keymaps explicitly to pkg-lists. * m68k: Punt the remainder INITRD22 stuff and simplify the rest. * Switch m68k to 2.6.21-1. [ Frans Pop ] * Use BASEVERSION variable for powerpc to avoid needing to modify the kernel version for each flavor separately. * G-I for i386 is now also affected by the VT switching issue that earlier affected only amd64 (#373253). Include libgcc_s.so.1 to work around this. * For i386 and amd64, add the 'quiet' kernel boot option for all boot methods except expert mode. This reduces the amount of output to the console to only a few messages before the first D-I dialog is displayed. * Drop build dependency on mkisofs for s390 as we don't need it there. [ Joey Hess ] * Changes to support new wireless nic modules udeb. * Switch i386 to have 3 net-drivers floppies. The second one now contains wireless, usb, and pcmcia drivers, while the third contains nic-extra-modules. * Set APT::Install-Recommends=false in get-packages as a preventive measure to avoid getting recommended udebs when apt later defaults to installing recommends. (Mostly a no-op as there are very few udeb recommends currently.) [ Frans Pop ] * Increase build dependency on mklibs to version 0.1.23; needed to avoid build failures or broken images after post-Etch toolchain changes. * Switch alpha, amd64, arm, i386, m68k, mips, mipsel and s390 to 2.6.21-2. * Get rid of hardcoded kernel versions in boot configuration files for mips and mipsel; rename bootscreen-subst to bootvars-subst to reflect this somewhat more general use of this script. * Drop compatibility symlink to old location of the graphical mini.iso. * Switch ia64 to 2.6.21-2. [ Joey Hess ] * Switch to dhcp3-client-udeb. * Remove ugly workaround for apex filename transition, long over. [ Frans Pop ] * Remove support for sparc32 as it is no longer supported for Lenny. * Simplify build structure for sparc. * Switch sparc, powerpc and hppa to 2.6.21-2. [ Joey Hess ] * Remove pcmcia-cs-udeb from ads_cf image, as it's no longer in Debian. * Remove old "linux" syslinux label for x86, it was replaced by "install". * Convert mips/arcboot.conf to use "install" and not "linux" as the label as well. * Apply patch from Václav Ovsík adding a NETBOOT_DI_DIR variable. [ Davide Viti ] * Switch g-i as to use ttf-dejavu for rendering Georgian text [ Christian Perrier ] * Replace the build dependency on grep-dctrl (transition package) by dctrl-tools [ Joey Hess ] * Call dh_md5sums. [ Robert Millan ] * Integrate win32-loader utility. (Closes: #412922) [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Fix the bootvars-subst call on mips so the actual kernel version will be used. [ Joey Hess ] * Change f8.txt to document tasksel/desktop. [ Jérémy Bobbio ] * Add support for apt_preferences(5) files (preferences.{deb,udeb}.local) to ease development when packages are broken in unstable. [ Bastian Blank ] * Support coming cdebconf frontend changes. * Bump build dependency for mklibs. [ Otavio Salvador ] * Switch alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc to 2.6.22-2. * Load config/local by last so we can override previously set options. * Support setting an extra udeb to be included exporting the EXTRAS environment variable. * Allow DEBIAN_VERSION to be overriden using environment variable. [ Frans Pop ] * Disable builds for PowerPC PReP images as there are no prep kernels available. [ Joey Hess ] * Switch i386 to 2.6.22-3. [ Martin Michlmayr ] * Switch all other architectures to 2.6.22-3. * Use mklibs-copy rather than mklibs on mips and mipsel for now since the latter doesn't work. [ Colin Watson ] * Move Frans' d-i internals manual from doc/talks/d-i_debconf6/ to doc/devel/internals/, and build it by default. [ Joey Hess ] * Switch from upx-ucl-beta to upx-ucl, now that it's out of beta. * Avoid using sources.list.d when downloading udebs. Closes: #459612 [ Aurelien Jarno ] * Add support for MIPS Malta platform, but keep it disabled for now. [ Frans Pop ] * Add build dependency on libgcc1 for i386 also as we include libgcc_s for graphical installer images. -- Colin Watson
