Problem on Instalation of Debian Lenny

Hi Guys,

Well, I trying install Debian Lenny on System z on z/VM.
The first attempt was: I downloaded the essentials files from the official mirror ftp server (ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-s390/current/images/generic/) but, the message "[17179570.468526] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" was displayed and the installation stop. (the file is attached)

Very well..
The next attempt was: I downloaded the essentials files from other release of lenny (the first release announced in 01/23/2009) (ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-s390/20090123+b1/images/generic/) and the basic modules not found (the message bellow is displayed)

   âââââââââââââââââ⤠[!!] Download installer components âââââââââââââââââââ
   â                                                                       â
   â No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch      â
   â between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the      â
   â kernel version available in the archive.                              â
   â                                                                       â
   â If you're installing from a mirror, you can work around this problem  â
   â by choosing to install a different version of Debian. The install     â
   â will probably fail to work if you continue without kernel modules.    â
   â                                                                       â
   â Continue the install without loading kernel modules?                  â
   â                                                                       â
   â     <Go Back>                                       <Yes>    <No>     â
   â                                                                       â
   âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ

Well again not worked the installation..

I really need one help about this problem..

I have installed the Debian Etch a while ago, but today this version is not supported in mirrors, I did not find any mirror what work fine with this version.

I can confirm this. If I install the Lenny kernel on an already installed
Hercules system (running unstable) I also get the panic, so it clearly is
a kernel issue, not an installer issue.

There has been one s390 specific patch included in the latest kernel:
* [s390] Fix __div64_31 for CONFIG_MARCH_G5 (Closes: #511334)
but that patch was very well tested, including on my Hercules system, so I
would be surprised if that was the cause.

But it will definitely need to be investigated, but this will take time.
I'll see what I can do myself. I'll start with filing a bug report against
the kernel for this issue.

That is expected. The kernel version used in that image is no longer
available on the mirrors which means that the installer is unable to load
the additional installer kernel modules it needs.

Etch should still work. But I've just tried it and unfortunately there's a
problem there as well.

In the syslog I get the following:

You can work around this (and one other known issue) by adding the
following two boot parameters [1]:
   suite=etch debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated=true

With that I could successfully install Etch. You could then upgrade to
Lenny, but obviously you'll have to be careful what kernel you install.

I'll file a bug report against the installer for the bad signature problem
so Etch installs can be fixed.

Cheers,
FJP

Frans,

Thank you for your help.

I will try the installation of Etch and reply to you.

But it will definitely need to be investigated, but this will take time.
I'll see what I can do myself. I'll start with filing a bug report against
the kernel for this issue.

That is expected. The kernel version used in that image is no longer
available on the mirrors which means that the installer is unable to load
the additional installer kernel modules it needs.

Etch should still work. But I've just tried it and unfortunately there's a
problem there as well.

In the syslog I get the following:

You can work around this (and one other known issue) by adding the
following two boot parameters [1]:
  suite=etch debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated=true

With that I could successfully install Etch. You could then upgrade to
Lenny, but obviously you'll have to be careful what kernel you install.

I'll file a bug report against the installer for the bad signature problem
so Etch installs can be fixed.

Cheers,

If you really want help from people on a Debian mailing list, you will
really need to improve the way you ask your question...

1) Do not hijack an existing thread for an unrelated question!
   Do not reply to an existing mail, but send a new mail.
2) Do *not* CC individual people, only mail the list!
   See the Debian mailing list code of conduct [1].
3) Preferably do not use top posting when you reply to a mail [2].

4) Don't ask vague questions: they cannot be answered.
   * "kernel 2.6 version from yesterday"
     - what version exactly?
     - what debian release are you running (stable, testing, unstable)?
     - is it a security update or a "regular" package version?
   * "none of the mirrors are working"
     - that is *extremely* unlikely
     - which mirrors did you actually try?
   * what exact commands did you use?
   * what exact errors did you get?
     Make sure any output you include is in English!

> Can someone help me on same?

No sorry, I cannot help you because I really don't have a clue what your
actual problem is.

I understand that asking a question in a different language than your own
can be difficult, but please spend some extra time to make your problem
clear to the people you ask for help. Try to avoid wasting *their* time!

And the most likely result is that you don't get an answer at all.

Cheers,
FJP

Frans,

Thank you again for your help.

The option in DEBIAN PARMFILE corrected the installation and everything worked perfectly.

Taking the message, I wonder if there is a forecast for there is a 64bit version of Debian on System z, you have any idea?


Best regards,



Fernando Gieseler

Frans,


Thank you for your help.


I will try the installation of Etch and reply to you.


Best regards,

I can confirm this. If I install the Lenny kernel on an already installed
Hercules system (running unstable) I also get the panic, so it clearly is
a kernel issue, not an installer issue.

There has been one s390 specific patch included in the latest kernel:
* [s390] Fix __div64_31 for CONFIG_MARCH_G5 (Closes: #511334)
but that patch was very well tested, including on my Hercules system, so I
would be surprised if that was the cause.

But it will definitely need to be investigated, but this will take time.
I'll see what I can do myself. I'll start with filing a bug report against
the kernel for this issue.

There already is a 64-bit kernel available (just install the -s390x kernel
image package) in past and current Debian releases.

The kernel team has just dropped support for 31-bit systems in unstable
[1], so Debian Installer will start using and installing a 64-bit kernel
by default for the next stable release (Squeeze).
Whether this will also result in changing the userland to 64-bit I don't
know.

Cheers,
FJP
