Daily built image failing at install software stage

[Praveen Arimbrathodiyil]

Hi,

I used the daily built d-I mini.iso for amd64 in qemu. The installation failed at setup and install software stage. I tried installing grub, which also failed (I ran debian-installer from a console).
I tried to boot it with boot from harddisk option of the installer, but qemu failed with trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM message.

Any suggestions?

I have so far not been able to install gnu/kfreebsd. I have tried virtual box and kvm with the earlier image using freebsd installer but none could complete the installation. Virtual box also failed. My system is x86_64 running 64bit fedora.

I can help with testing the amd64 installers.

Thanks
Praveen

Which qemu do you have ? I have had trouble with 0.9,
but 0.10.5 with kqemu runs fine both i386/amd64 GNU/kFreeBSD.

I have qemu 0.10.6-9.fc11.x86_64 I think it is some issue with the
installer. I'm not able to access the contents of the disk image to
copy syslog file.

I run

losetup /dev/loop0 gnukfreebsd.img

fdisk -l /dev/loop0

Disk /dev/loop0: 414 MB, 414818304 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 50 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Disk /dev/loop0 doesn't contain a valid partition table

neither kpartx nor parted recognizes the disk.

Is there a way to manually install a boot loader on this image? (since
it the base system installed already)

Thanks
Praveen
