[Bug 984007] Re: netinst d-i fails on armhf

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package debian-installer - 20101020ubuntu134

---------------
debian-installer (20101020ubuntu134) precise; urgency=low

  * Call mklibs with a hardcoded --ldlib in armhf.cfg, so we get a
    deterministic result in our linker search, and then add the
    symlink from the old linker path in build/Makefile (LP: #984007)
  * Rebuild with latest omap4 kernels for ext2 support (LP: #984180)

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  Using current uImage and uInitrd images from http://ports.ubuntu.com
  /ubuntu-ports/dists/precise/main/installer-
  armhf/current/images/armadaxp/, running the netinst with defaults
  fails after the system tries to reboot into the installed system.

  We see:

  [   40.337033] Failed to execute /init
  [   40.340715] Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance.
  [   40.353234] [<c0015a5c>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0xec) from [<c06d1e28>] (dump_stack+0x20/0x24)

  And then the kernel continues spewing messages forever.

  I am using the following to boot the netinst:

  bootp
  setenv serverip 10.193.37.1
  tftp 0x2000000 rbasak/uImage
  tftp 0x1100000 rbasak/uInitrd
  setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 pm_disable earlyprintk=ttyS0 DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text
  bootm 0x2000000 0x1100000

  I am using the following to boot into the installed system:

  ide reset
  ext2load ide 0:1 0x2000000 /uImage
  ext2load ide 0:1 0x1100000 /uInitrd
  setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 earlyprintk=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda1 ro
  bootm 0x2000000 0x1100000

  This is a regression. Our automated install system has also broken
  with the same results and has not been changed. I reproduced this
  manually (without preseeding) to make reproduction steps easier for
  this bug report.

  My console log is attached.
