hi
the installation of debian squeeze with dvi (install base system) work
fine until 78% ,i get to "configure console-setup" Continue without
installing a kernel ?
but the keyboard doesn t work any more to choose the answer
Regards
Houssem Bahri
Have you tried unplugging and replugging your keyboard in? Is this a
Bx, C2/3 or a C4 beagle? ehci or otg?
I would start the install again, but this time, switch between
"ctrl-alt-f1" and "ctrl-alt-f4" to monitor the install process, if
it's a kernel ehci problem, we should see it crash in "ctrl-alt-f4"
status..

hi
c3 , ehci , even when i press the caps lock the led still off
On a C2/3, use the OTG port during install...
You can switch back to using the ehci after the install is complete..

hi ,
but i don t have an otg to usb for that , i think the problem isn t
the keyboard ,it s an installation problem,it sticks always during the
installation ,i ve repeated the installation ten times and always it
sticks ,what should i do?
regards
Houssem Bahri
Bahri,
Nope, the installation is perfectly fine... I just completed yet
another this morning for this email...
There is no way i can help you with out ANY useful debugging information...
Since you didn't notice anything obvious wrong under "ctrl-alt-f4"
during the install..
During the "install base" hit "ctrl-alt-f2" hit enter, then type "tail
-f /var/log/syslog > /target/log" then upload the /target/log (it'll
be /log when you mount your sd card) file to an ftp/http server after
the install fails so i can view/debug it...

hi Robert,
when the installation sticks ,the keyboard doesn t work any more so i
can t hit ctrl+alt+f2 ,the installtion sticks every time in a
different step some time in retrieving additional component other
times in install base system ( in apt retrieving also aptitude and
bash , core utils ...) ,until now i ve made the insallation 30 times
or 40 , and it always fails ,i got the same problem when i ve tried
with serial option ,but after about 8 times of fails it works for me.
before that the installation sticked i ve hited ctrl +alt+ f4 and that
interuppt the installtion i get a black scree and a log like the one
of the boot which describe the current step of the installation before
i press that (i hited it when i get choosing languages and i ve get a
something related to that in this log with information a bout wireless
connection)
i didn t really know what this problem is comming from i told you i
can get any log after that it sticked
please could you upload the result of the installation (the root file
system with dvi option) so i can download it or if there is any
solution that i can try it
Well duh.. IF you would have actually read my directions, the whole
point was to start logging (/var/log/syslog) to a safe location before
the keyboard stuck not after... That way you can pull the log file
off the SD card and SEE what actually happened.. but i see you have a
working image now..
During the "install base" (phase) quickly hit "ctrl-alt-f2" hit enter,
then type "tail -f /var/log/syslog > /target/log"... Switch back to
"ctrl-alt-f1" and continue install, after system crash upload the
/target/log (it'll be /log when you mount your sd card) file to an
ftp/http server after the install fails so i can view/debug it...

Yeap, that's pretty much what i expected.. Your C3 has a non 100%
ehci*, it's failing randomly under high load when downloading lots of
packages. Use the OTG port during the Netinstall and switch back to
the ehci after you system is installed..
* there are capacitor mods listed in this forum, but the redesigned
ehci power regulator on the C4 fixes it perfectly..
2/i ve do the installation more than 50 times and it always sticked in
retrieving , it never sticked in upacking or extracting or in card
partitionning
Exactly... Too much traffic/load on ehci port..
3/last night the installation didn t stick until i had to choose
"standard system utilities" to setup and then it sticked , i thought i
would be able to use it but when i boot i give my login and password
but i get "Login incorrect" .
You probably mistyped it... By chance do you remember the root
account? Otherwise without either, you aren't going to be able to
recover it very easily.
