  • Errors during install from DVD image Debian 10.4

    From Vctl Piotr Kolasinski@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 7 23:30:01 2020
    Hi !
    I've tried to install under z/VM from downloaded DVD image of Debian
    buster 10.4.

    During the installations I've got errors - some of them I bypassed
    (see below), but one - found in another thread in this list - I cannot
    bypass . It is during installation of the base system
    - dependency for package s390-tools is on perl:any and it is not
    resolved during the installation. Does someone know how to resolve (or
    bypass) this? Without that installation fails.


    Other errors:

    During stage "Detect disks" I received in syslog info:

    /bin/disk-detect: line 123: hw-detect: not found
    /bin/disk-detect: line 231: check-missing-firmware: not found

    which was bypassed by creating in /bin subdirectory (from second ssh
    session) missing files with like:
    return o

    Additionally in log there is plenty of messages like
    DEBUG: resolver (hw-detect): package doesn't exits (ignored).

    I also had problem with dasd initialization in previous step -
    bypassed by using dasdfmt from second ssh connection. It was in
    another installation trial - I don't have syslog from that.

    I don't have direct Internet connection so I have to use only DVD
    image, which I mounted on loop device and set as mirror on another
    Linux (amd) system.

    Piotr

    Hi,

    I don't know anything about s390, but the errors you refer to occur
    because one of the installer modules didn't get loaded properly. Try
    going into expert mode, loading the hw-detect module and then resuming
    the installation from the point it left off.
