netinst from a mirror setup with debmirror
Stefan Pampel
i am using an local mirror setup with these parameters [1]. The mirror
works fine as a repository for serving packages via NFS for other clients.
Now i wanted use the local mirror for setting up clients via the
netinst-image[2] from scratch without using the debian mirrors from the
internet. For an Linux-installation-Party f.e.
Ok, the clients can boot via the netinst-image, i point the installer to
the local mirror by hand, but the installer means then:
"No Kernel modules were found ... Continue the install without loading
kernel modules?"
at this time the apache log shows:
192.168.0.188 - - [12/Jul/2007:15:21:59 +0200] "GET /mirrors/debian//dists/etch/Release HTTP/1.1" 200 58211 "-" "Wget" "-"
192.168.0.188 - - [12/Jul/2007:15:21:59 +0200] "GET /mirrors/debian//dists/stable/Release HTTP/1.1" 200 34641 "-" "Wget" "-"

192.168.0.188 - - [12/Jul/2007:15:21:59 +0200] "GET /mirrors/debian//dists/sarge/Release.gpg HTTP/1.1" 200 378 "-" "Wget" "-"
192.168.0.188 - - [12/Jul/2007:15:22:05 +0200] "GET /mirrors/debian//dists/sarge/main/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages.gz HTTP/1.1" 200 50748 "-" "Wget" "-"
With choosing "Yes" it goes on, until the installer shows:
"The Installer failed to download a file from the mirror. ..."
Now the apache log:
192.168.0.188 - - [12/Jul/2007:13:15:49 +0200] "GET /mirrors/debian/pool/main/d/ddetect/hw-detect-full_1.14_all.udeb HTTP/1.1" 200 2676 "-" "Wget" "-"
syslog of the Clients :
anna[3119]: WARNING **: bad md5sum
The file is definitily there, also tired deleteing an mirroring again.
The error stays
Can someone give a hint how do terminate the errors and make the installer
happy?
[1] how i mirror:
DEB_HOST=ftp.de.debian.org
DEB_DIST=debian
DEB_VERSION="sarge,etch,lenny"
DEB_ARCH="i386"
DEB_SECT="main,non-free,contrib,main/debian-installer" DEB_ROOT=:debian
DEB_MIRROR_PATH=/var/cache/install/mirrors/ DEB_OPT="--method=rsync
--verbose --passive --progress --nosource --cleanup --getcontents"
# the debmirror command
debmirror -a $DEB_ARCH -d $DEB_VERSION -s $DEB_SECT -h $DEB_HOST --root
$DEB_ROOT $DEB_OPT $DEB_MIRROR_PATH/$DEB_DIST
[2] i used the following images
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current//images/netboot/
even i tried the GTK-image
best regards

After i run an configured anonftpsync[2] over the existing mirror
everything works fine now. Maybe debmirror left out some important files
for those activities, thats why the mirror is a bit larger than before.
