Hi, just tried the 1.5-pre1 iso. I tried to keep track of problems, but
I may have missed something.
- booting the iso:
* init: /bin/dialog: no such file or directory
* /etc/mtab not found
- partion menu:
* (unrecognized) -> choose filesystem ->
"/dev/xxx is already formatted with swap filesystem"... (or ext3).
Since it was unrecognized I don't think the warning is accurate.
- instal lunar:
* The comment line says:
"Create filesystems, swapfile, and install all packages onto the
target system NO"
Is it cut off? the 'NO' at the end seems wrong ;-)
* problem mounting /dev/discs/disc0/part5
You already noticed this, I saw on the website. Manually mounting it
in vc2 fixes it.
* Seems to hang in lunar fixdepends:
"Waiting to lock the file /var/state/lunar/depends.backup"
"Waiting to lock the file /var/state/lunar/depends" (after removing
lockfile for backup)
Killing the lunar fixdepends provess makes installer continue.
- install bootloader:
* doesn't work at all; you already noticed. Lilo can be installed from
vc2.
- reboot:
* devfs FAILED
* remount / read/write FAILED
/ is not in fstab. Never updated?
* module deps FAILED
/ is read-only
* dhcpcd fails silently (even says [OK])
NIC driver not loaded (my own fault).
lsmod -> ERROR: this is a wrapper, the binary you want is not
installed, please lin modutils -> lin modutils fails for lack of
network connection -> full circle ;-)
That's it for now. Other than that it looks very nice and fairly intuitive.
