DL version: 1.06 (latest stable) Hi, I got a little problem with installing DL on a harddrive (I know = it's not what DL was designed for, but my router's BIOS stopped accepting CD-ROM drives. I have no idea why, but only HDs are detected anymore, = yes I tried several CD-drives and several cables): I installed DL via the install-on-usb script, everything boots up perfectly up to the point where DL is asking for the config media (I'd like to keep that on a floppy-disk). DL checks the disk and, directly afterwards complains that it can't find the DL CD-ROM...where do I have = to change the path, so it finds the stuff on the harddrive? --- Another thing (maybe a bug?): I tried booting DL on my main PC (Athlon 3200+) and DL does not seem to like the USB keyboard. The keyboard still works when DL asks for the framebuffersettings, but after DL initializes the USBports it's dead. = This is nothing important for me, as my router does not have any USB, but = maybe interesting for the developers? :) Cheers Jonas |

There is actually a problem in DL < 1.2 which causes this problem. Switch to 1.2b1 then it should work. In 1.2b1 you also only need to copy the ISO image onto the harddisk, or better install-on-usb should work without modifications. > --- > > Another thing (maybe a bug?): > > I tried booting DL on my main PC (Athlon 3200+) and DL does not seem to > like the USB keyboard.

Basicly it gets me 2 lines further and then exits with the same error, which is strange as it also states that it finds the media. Looks like this: (Config-media was found correctly: Empty floppy, DL starts setting up = the emptydisk) Searching for DL CD-ROM Search list: Checking /dev/ide/ ... /part1: media found Found ISO (1.2b1) on /dev/ide/ ... /part1 Loading configuration Searching for DL CD-ROM Search list: Checking /dev/ide/ ... /part1 Warning, DL CD-ROM not found, etc... The device DL checks is always the same (First partition, master at = IDE0) --- Now the second problem: After the second boot, DL does not check for config on the floppy = anymore but instead checks on the harddrive, finding an "old" config (not = named), tries to update it, fails ("no space left on drive") boots perfectly, = but save-config results in "please enter media" and a lot of beeping. Is = there any way to force DL to look at the floppy and nowhere else for a config? -- >> I tried booting DL on my main PC (Athlon 3200+) and DL does=20 >> not seem to like the USB keyboard.=20 > Same here, give it a try with 1.2b1. Still the same issue, even with 1.2b1 |

Thanks a lot, that seemed to be my problem, I was confused because install-on-usb does copy the full 200mb ISO so I thought it would use it as source-medium...well it does not *g now i know...thanks again...the Bootdisk is on ist way...probably Monday... :) |

Ok, Router runs with harddrive :) So far so good...Just two problems (that = are probably there because ist still beta): Most important:=20 -- Save-config screws my etc.tar.bz2 most of the time. It starts normally but after saying yes to "DO you still want to save?" never seems to stop. The floppy stops writing, but the harddrive goes on tickering for at least half an hour (I stopped it afterwards with = STRG+C). I tried a couple of times and it always leaves me with a 219 kb bz2 file (not working) on my medium, and no errormessage. If I restart = save-config, I get this error: - /bin/save-config: line 223: 910 Broken pipe tar -C /shm = -cjf $CONFIG_MOUNT/$DL_CONFIG_FILE --exclude=3D*~ --exclude=3Dmtab --exclude=3D*.2.old --exclude=3D*.3.old --exclude=3D*.4.old = --exclude=3D*.5.old --exclude=3D*.6.old --exclude=3D*.7.old --exclude=3D*.8.old = --exclude=3D*.9.old --exclude=3Ddhcpcd-eth*.pid etc root media protected, configuration not saved - There is a small chance that save-config works....but I could not figure out when it does and when not... -------- 2nd (and not that important) When my Harddrive spins down and I start "setup" it hangs and can't = manage to spin the drive back up...I have to login on a second terminal wich spins up the disk to proceed working...

Can you copy the save-config script to some other location and add a "set -x" to see where it hangs? I hope that I can release beta2 next weekend, so you can try it again with the new one. > Most important: > > -- > Save-config screws my etc.tar.bz2 most of the time. > > It starts normally but after saying yes to "DO you still want to save?" > never seems to stop.
