Lenny LiveCD or Sid installed

[Francois Audirac]

When I use the LiveCD, I see in the sources.list that Debian Lenny is
the support of this CD.
But when I choose to install webconverger on a hird disk, the
sources.list contains Debian Sid repositories.

So I don't understand because in the preseed.cfg, I can read this lines :

d-i mirror/country string manual
d-i mirror/http/hostname string cdn.debian.net
d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian
d-i mirror/suite string lenny

So I believe the Lenny was used.

So why have we a difference beetween liveCD and installed ?

Thanks.

François.

Hi Francois,

This must be a bug. Webconverger is based on lenny. Here is the
canonical sources.list:

http://webconverger.org/sources.list

The installer needs some love.

Kind regards,

Ok, so why in the git repository in scripts/config you have this option:
--debian-installer-distribution sid \

It must be :
--debian-installer-distribution lenny \

Isn't it ?

When I try to build another iso with the debian -live scripts with
this change :
lh_config --bootloader=grub --grub-splash=splash.xpm.gz \
--hostname=MyHostname -- debian-installer=enabled \
--debian-installer-distribution=lenny
The iso is build, but when I try to install on hard disk, the
procedure fails with this message
"Some kernel modules are not presents"

I think because the initrd.gz in the git repository in
config/binary_local-includes/instal/initrd.gz is build with a sid
kernel...

How to correct this ?

Thanks a lot.

Webconverger needs the latest features from a sid d-i, hence the
"--debian-installer-distribution sid"

Just because I choose a sid installer does not mean it should install
sid, esp. since the preseed makes it clear.

I need to check with a collegue.

No.
I try an install from webc5.5 with changing the grub line of install and
delete the link to preseed.cfg befaore launch the install.
It enver ask me if I wanted lenny or sid version.
I choose language, keyboard, root password, partitions, domain, host...

And in fact, when I reboot with grub2 and the kernel 2.6.30-backpost-1.486
The sources.list contains only :
2 lines with "#" whose are exactly :
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.3 _Lenny_ - Official Snapshot i386
LIVE/INSTALL BInary 20090913-15:59]/ sid main
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.3 _Lenny_ - Official Snapshot i386
LIVE/INSTALL BInary 20090913-15:59]/ sid main

And this 2 lines :
deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org sid main
deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org sid main

> I need to check with a collegue.

So, I thinx taht de sid-installer install a sid distribution.

And when I launch a upgrade, I take all the upgrade from unstable 223
Mo) and have an unstable distribution... !...

Thank, if you find a patch or a solution to keep a stable version.
I can install a sid version and change repositories to lenny, but it's
not very cool.

François.
