-<h1>Installing Debian GNU/Linux <q>etch-and-a-half</q></h1>
-
-<h2>Overview</h2>
-
-<p>
-The <q>etch-and-a-half</q> release is essentially just the most recent
-point release for etch, but with a more recent kernel (version 2.6.24).
-The main purpose of this release is to allow installation of <q>etch</q>
-on systems not supported by the 2.6.18 kernel that is used in regular
-<q>etch</q> installs.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-For further details about scope, purpose and limitations of the
-<q>etch-and-a-half</q> release, see the
-<a href="../etchnhalf">Release Notes</a>.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Installing</h2>
-
-<p>
-For new installations of <q>etch-and-a-half</q> the current release of
-<em>Debian Installer for <strong>lenny</strong></em> is used, with minor
-changes for compatibility with <q>etch</q>.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Please read the notes below carefully before installing <q>etch-and-a-half</q>.
-</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li>Because the current <q>lenny</q> installer is an RC release, it
- may have some errata you would not expect in a stable release.
- See the <a href="#errata">errata section</a> at the bottom of this
- page for details.</li>
- <li>The <q>lenny</q> installer includes a number of changes from the
- <q>etch</q> installer. See the release announcements for the
- <a href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-installer/News/2008/20080317">beta1</a>,
- <a href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-installer/News/2008/20080609">beta2</a>,
- <a href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-installer/News/2008/20081112">RC1</a> and
- <a href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-installer/News/2009/20090131">RC2</a>
- releases of the installer for an overview of changes.</li>
- <li>This includes changes that affect preseeding (automated
- installations). See the appendix on preseeding in the Installation
- Guide for <q>lenny</q> (linked below) for correct preseeding options.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-The following installation options are available to install Debian GNU/Linux
-<q>etch-and-a-half</q>.

-<strong>Additional notes</strong>
-</p>
-<ul>
- <li>
- The current <q>etch-and-a-half</q> installation images based on
- Debian Installer Lenny RC1 use a newer kernel (2.6.26) than the
- version that was included in the <q>etch-and-a-half</q> release
- and is installed for the target system (2.6.24). In some cases this
- can mean that hardware which is supported during the installation
- does not work after the reboot into the installed system because
- support for it was added after the 2.6.24 version.
- </li><li>
- If any of the hardware in your system requires firmware to be loaded
- with the device driver, the installer may ask if it should load the
- firmware from a removable medium, such as a floppy disk or USB stick.
- General information about loading firmware during an installation can
- be found in the Installation Guide (see Documentation below).
- </li><li>
- For the installation images, verification files (<tt>SHA256SUMS</tt>,
- <tt>SHA512SUMS</tt> and other) are available from the same directory as the
- images.
- </li><li>
- There are two reasons the netinst image is only available for selected
- architectures. First, a lot of architectures don't really have new
- hardware that is not supported by the 2.6.18 kernel. Second, some
- architectures are most commonly installed using netboot, making the CD
- image unnecessary.
- </li>
-</ul>

-
-<p>This release fixes the two issues listed below for 4.0r2.</p>
-
-<h3 id="errata-r2">Errata for release 4.0r2</h3>
-
-<p>This release fixes the <q>serial console setup with GRUB</q> issue listed
-below for the 4.0r0 release.</p>
-
-<p>Due to an oversight, the installer does not use the kernel version released
-with 4.0r2, but a slightly older one (2.6.18.dfsg.1-13). Modules loaded later
-in the installation may be from a later version (2.6.18.dfsg.1-16), but as
-these two versions are ABI compatible, this should not cause any problems.</p>
-
-<p>For the same reason, the added support for Nevada SGI O2 machines mentioned in
-the <a href="$(HOME)/News/2007/20071227">release announcement</a> is
-not actually included in this release.</p>
-
-<p>These two issues will be corrected with the next point release for Etch.</p>
-
-<h3 id="errata-r1">Errata for release 4.0r1</h3>
-
-<p>This new release fixes a few problems present in the original 4.0r0 release.
-More USB CD drives will be detected and <tt>gksu</tt> will be correctly
-configured when installed with the root account disabled (<tt>sudo</tt>
-mode). The creation of <tt>ext2</tt> filesystems on amd64 is now possible.</p>
-
-<p>The mirror list has also been updated, along with Catalan and Romanian
-translations of the partitioner.</p>
-
-<p>With the update of the kernel for this release, some of the installer
-images originally released with etch 4.0r0 (netboot and floppies) will no
-longer work due to a kernel version mismatch. CD-based installations are
-<strong>not</strong> affected.</p>
-
-<h3 id="errata-r0">Errata for release 4.0r0</h3>
-
-<dl class="gloss">
- <dt>Disk devices may change on reboot</dt>
- <dd>
- On systems with multiple disk controllers, the kernel/udev may assign
- a different device node on reboot of the system than was used during
- installation due to difference in load order of drivers.<br />
- This can lead to failure to boot the system. In most cases this can be
- corrected by changing the bootloader configuration and /etc/fstab,
- possibly using the rescue mode of the installer.<br />
- Note however that this problem may occur again on subsequent boots.
- Fixing this issue has priority for the next release of Debian installer.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>Resizing of existing ext3 partitions may fail</dt>
- <dd>
- The installer is currently not able to resize ext3 partitions that have
- the <tt>dir_index</tt> and/or <tt>resize_inode</tt> features enabled.
- This includes ext3 partitions created with the Etch installer.<br />
- You can however manually resize an ext3 partition during installation.
- Proceed until the partitioning step, use the &lt;Go Back&gt; button to
- exit to the main menu, start a shell, and resize the file system and
- partition using the commands available in the shell (<tt>fsck.ext3</tt>,
- <tt>resize2fs</tt> and e.g. <tt>fdisk</tt> or <tt>parted</tt>). If you
- start partman again after completing the resize operation, it should
- show the new size of the partition.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>Error using loop-aes encryption during hd-media install</dt>
- <dd>
- If loop-aes encryption is used during an installation using the
- hd-media images (e.g. from USB stick), this may fail with the
- following (or similar) error message in the syslog
- (<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/434027">#434027</a>):<br />
- <tt>partman-crypto: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument, requested
- cipher or key length (256 bits) not supported by kernel.</tt><br />
- Cause of this issue is that early in the installation the CD image
- will have been loop-mounted using the regular loop module, which
- prevents the loop-aes module from being loaded later.<br />
- It is possible to work around this issue by manually unmounting the
- CD image, unloading the loop module, loading the loop-aes module, and
- remounting the CD image.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>Incomplete installation of Desktop task from full CD</dt>
- <dd>
- The full CD image is too small to contain all packages needed to
- install the complete Desktop task. This means that if you only use the
- CD as a source, only part of the Desktop task will be installed.<br />
- You can resolve this either <em>during the installation</em> by choosing
- to use a network mirror as a source to install packages in addition to the
- CD (not recommended if you don't have a decent internet connection), or
- <em>after you have rebooted</em> into the installed system by using
- <tt>apt-cdrom</tt> to load additional CDs and then selecting the Desktop
- task again in <tt>aptitude</tt>.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>Buggy routers may cause network problems</dt>
- <dd>
- If you experience network problems during the installation, this may be
- caused by a router somewhere between you and the Debian mirror that
- doesn't correctly handle window scaling.
- See <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/401435">#401435</a> and this
- <a href="http://kerneltrap.org/node/6723">kerneltrap article</a> for
- details.<br />
- You can work around this issue by disabling TCP window scaling. Activate
- a shell and enter the following command:<br />
- <tt>echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling</tt><br />
- For the installed system you should probably not completely disable TCP

- </dd>
-
- <dt>General issues after reboot because of UTF-8 default</dt>
- <dd>
- The installed system is now set to UTF-8 by default. However, not all
- applications properly support UTF-8 yet, which may result in minor or
- major problems when using them.<br />
- Please check if such problems have been reported yet and, if not, file
- a bug report against the relevant package (not the installer).
- </dd>
-
- <dt>Limited localization of installed system</dt>
- <dd>
- For the Sarge version of the installer the package localization-config was
- responsible for part of the localization of the installed system. This
- package ran as part of base-config, which has been dropped in the release.
- Adapting localization-config to run before the reboot is on our TODO list,
- but meanwhile some localization may not be done automatically when
- installing in languages other than English.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>Installation of Sarge not supported</dt>
- <dd>
- As a result of some structural changes in the installer, installation of
- Sarge (oldstable) is not supported.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>Graphical installer</dt>
- <dd>
- The graphical installer still has some known issues (see also the
- Installation Guide):
- <ul>
- <li>some non-US keymaps are not fully supported (deadkeys and
- combining characters do not work)</li>
- <li>touchpads should work, but support may not be optimal; if you
- experience problems, you should use an external mouse instead</li>
- <li>limited support for creating encrypted partitions</li>
- <li>should work on almost all PowerPC systems that have an ATI
- graphics card, but is unlikely to work on other PowerPC
- systems</li>
- </ul>
- </dd>
-
- <dt>False warning about missing swap when installing the <em>laptop</em> task</dt>
- <dd>
- When the <em>laptop</em> task is installed, a incorrect warning will be
- issued by the <tt>uswsusp</tt> package saying <q>No swap partition
- found; userspace software suspend will not work</q>. This is only a
- <strong>incorrect</strong> warning and software suspend should work
- correctly. See also bug
- <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/427104">#427104</a>.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>Network driver sky2 known to be broken</dt>
- <dd>
- The sky2 network driver is known to be broken in the kernel
- (2.6.18.dfsg.1-11) used in the installer and may cause kernel panics. See
- for example <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/404107">#404107</a>.
- <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/411115">#411115</a> contains a series of
- patches that may fix the issues.
- </dd>
-
-<!-- leaving this in for possible future use...
- <dt>i386: more than 32 mb of memory is needed to install</dt>
- <dd>
- The minimum amount of memory needed to successfully install on i386
- is 48 mb, instead of the previous 32 mb. We hope to reduce the
- requirements back to 32 mb later. Memory requirements may have
- also changed for other architectures.
- </dd>
--->
-
- <dt>i386/amd64: serial console setup with GRUB</dt>
- <dd>
- There are some issues with the way the installer tries to setup GRUB
- to use a serial console. Full details can be found in the bug report
- <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/416310">#416310</a>.
- Briefly, these issues can be resolved by ensuring that the parity and
- bits options are also passed in the <q><tt>console=</tt></q> definition.<br />
- For most people this will mean that instead of booting the installer
- with <q><tt>console=ttyS0,9600</tt></q> you should use
- <q><tt>console=ttyS0,9600n8</tt></q>.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>i386: booting the installer may fail on some older systems</dt>
- <dd>
- Due to a regression in the syslinux bootloader used for most installer
- images, some older systems may fail to boot the installer. If the boot
- halts after displaying <q><tt>Loading initrd.gz....</tt></q>, you
- should try one of the
- <a href="https://d-i.alioth.debian.org/pub/etch/syslinux/">alternative
- images</a> that use an older version of syslinux. See also bug report
- <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/415992">#415992</a>.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>amd64: formatting an ext2 file system is not possible (fixed in 4.0r1)</dt>
- <dd>
- Because the ext2 kernel module is not available, it is not possible
- to create an ext2 file system. This will be fixed with the next update
- of the installer for Etch.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>powerpc: various issues</dt>
- <dd>
- The PowerPC port has several issues in this release:
- <ul>
- <li>installation from floppy on OldWorld PowerMac is broken
- because no device node is created for the swim3 module
- and as miboot is not included</li>
- <li>the snd-powermac module is no longer loaded by default as
- it will lock up some systems; you will need to add it to
- <tt>/etc/modules</tt> manually</li>
- </ul>
- </dd>
-
- <dt>sparc: CD installs for sparc32 may fail</dt>
- <dd>
- The esp kernel driver module is broken which means that installation from
- CD-ROM is broken for most sparc32 systems. We suggest you use the <q>netboot</q>
- installation method instead.
- </dd>
-
- <dt>sparc: installer appears to hang during boot</dt>
- <dd>
- There are two situations where the installer may appear to hang during
- boot after displaying <q><tt>Booting Linux...</tt></q>. The first is when
- there are two graphics controllers present (this is also described in the
- <a href="$(HOME)/releases/etch/sparc/ch05s03#sparc-boot-problems">installation guide</a>).
- The second is due to a bug in the kernel's ATI framebuffer driver and
- affects only certain ATI graphics cards.<br />
- In both cases the issue can be worked around by adding the parameter
- <tt>video=atyfb:off</tt> when booting the installer.
- </dd>

-
-<h2>Overview</h2>
-
-<p>
-Additional packages have been added in the Debian 4.0r4 point release to
-increase the set of hardware supported by Debian 4.0 (<q>etch</q>). This
-includes packages based upon the Linux 2.6.24 kernel and additional drivers
-for the X window system. Installation of these additional packages is not
-required and will not occur by default. This update represents no change
-to the support of previously available packages.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The existing 2.6.18-based kernel will continue to be the default kernel for
-the etch release.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Newly available packages</h2>
-
-<ul>
- <li><a href="https://packages.debian.org/src:linux-2.6.24">linux-2.6.24</a><br />
- New linux-image and supporting packages have been added to take advantage
- of many new and updated device drivers. See the <q>Limitations</q> section
- of this document for more information.</li>
- <li><a href="https://packages.debian.org/etch/xserver-xorg-video-intel">xserver-xorg-video-intel</a><br />
- A new X driver has been included to add support for the 965GM, 965GME, G33,
- Q35, Q33 and GM45 (PCI ids 0x2A02, 0x2A12, 0x29B2, 0x29C2, 0x29D2 and
- 0x2A42) devices. Some cards that were previously supported by the
- xserver-xorg-video-i810 driver may perform better with the
- xserver-xorg-video-intel driver. This includes the 945GM, 946GZ, 965G and
- 965Q devices.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Updated <q>etch</q> packages</h2>
-
-<p>
-Some existing etch packages have been updated to add support for new hardware
-and for compatibility with the 2.6.24 kernel:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li><a href="https://packages.debian.org/etch/aboot">aboot</a><br />
- Support for booting recent kernels.</li>
- <li><a href="https://packages.debian.org/etch/sysvinit">sysvinit</a><br />
- Updated shutdown command to properly shutdown disks.</li>
- <li><a href="https://packages.debian.org/etch/wireless-tools">wireless-tools</a><br />
- Inaccurate incompatibility warning removed.</li>
- <li><a href="https://packages.debian.org/source/etch/firmware-nonfree">firmware-nonfree</a><br />
- Firmware blobs for use with 2.6.24 kernel added.</li>
- <li><a href="https://packages.debian.org/etch/xserver-xorg-video-nv">xserver-xorg-video-nv</a><br />
- An updated X driver has been included to add support for previously
- unsupported NVIDIA graphics adapters (notably the GeFORCE 8 series).
- The updated xserver-xorg-video-nv package provides support for NVIDIA Riva,
- TNT, GeFORCE and Quadro cards.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Installing the <q>Etch-And-A-Half</q> release</h2>
-
-<p>
-Starting from this release, there are now two methods for installing the
-4.0 (<q>etch</q>) release of Debian.</p>
-
-<ol>
- <li><strong>Install using Debian 4.0 (<q>etch</q>) installer</strong><br />
- If your hardware is sufficiently supported by the standard etch installer
- you may choose to use standard etch install media to initially install
- your system and then later migrate to the <q>etch-and-a-half</q> kernel.
- This option is best for users who already have a system installed with
- etch or do not wish to obtain new installation media but would like to
- add additional hardware that is only supported by the <q>etch-and-a-half</q>
- kernel.<br />
- Information on obtaining and using the Debian 4.0 (<q>etch</q>) installer is
- available <a href="debian-installer/">here</a>.</li>
- <li><strong>Install using current Debian <q>lenny</q> installer</strong><br />
- Beginning with Beta 2, the lenny installer features an install kernel
- that is very similar to the <q>etch-and-a-half</q> kernel and has a
- compatibility mode for installing the etch release. This option is best
- for users with hardware that is supported by the <q>etch-and-a-half</q>
- kernel but is not supported by the default etch installer. Information
- on obtaining and using a <q>lenny</q>-based installer to install
- <q>etch-and-a-half</q> is available
- <a href="debian-installer/etchnhalf">here</a>.</li>
-</ol>
-
-<h2>Limitations</h2>
-
-<ul>
- <li>Debian does not guarantee that all hardware that is supported by the
- default etch 2.6.18 kernel is also supported by the 2.6.24 kernel, nor
- that all software included in etch will work correctly with the newer
- kernel.</li>
- <li>Migrating from the 2.6.18 etch kernel to the 2.6.24 <q>etch-and-a-half</q>
- kernel will work in many cases, but is not guaranteed to succeed. Upgrades
- from both the 2.6.18 and 2.6.24 kernels to the kernel provided by the next
- stable release (<q>lenny</q>) will be supported.</li>
- <li>Not all features of the etch 2.6.18 kernel are available in the 2.6.24
- images, this includes the Xen and linux virtual server flavors.</li>
- <li>Out-of-tree kernel module source packages that were provided in etch
- are not guaranteed to function properly with the 2.6.24 kernel.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Hardware-specific Notes</h2>
-<ul>
- <li><strong>Broadcom NetXtreme II network controllers</strong><br />
- The bnx2 driver for Broadcom NetXtreme II network controllers has been
- modified to load firmware files from the filesystem. These firmware files
- are provided in the
- <a href="https://packages.debian.org/etch/firmware-bnx2">firmware-bnx2</a>
- package in the non-free section of the archive. Systems that require the
- bnx2 driver must have the firmware-bnx2 package installed to function with
- the 2.6.24 <q>etch-and-a-half</q> kernel. These devices will not be
- available at installtime when using a Debian <q>lenny</q>-based installer.</li>
- <li><strong>Intel 3945/4965 wireless network adapters</strong><br />
- Systems that use an Intel 3945 or 4965 based wireless network adapter must
- have the corresponding firmware files installed for these adapters to
- function with the 2.6.24 <q>etch-and-a-half</q> kernel. These firmware
- files are provided in the
- <a href="https://packages.debian.org/etch/firmware-iwlwifi">firmware-iwlwifi</a>
- package in the non-free section of the archive. For information about
- migrating from the ipw3945 driver to the iwl3945 driver you should review the
- <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi">transition information</a>.</li>
- <li><strong>Cirrus Logic <q>Sound Fusion</q> sound devices</strong><br />
- The snd-cs46xx driver is no longer available in the <q>etch-and-a-half</q>
- kernel due to legal issues.</li>
- <li><strong>ARM ip32x (Thecus N2100, IO-Data GLAN Tank)</strong>
- <ul>
- <li>A problem in the r8169 network driver has been fixed that would
- cause NFS problems on the Thecus N2100 (see bug
- <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/452069">#452069</a>).</li>
- <li>The Thecus N2100 now correctly powers off.</li>
- <li>Support for the sensor chip to control the fan is now included
- thanks to Riku Voipio.</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li><strong>ARM ixp4xx (Linksys NSLU2)</strong>
- <ul>
- <li>A new Ethernet driver, written by Krzysztof Halasa, is included.
- This driver is included in the mainline kernel whereas the driver
- used in the old kernel for etch (2.6.18) is no longer maintained.</li>
- <li>A kernel crash with bitmapped md device has been fixed (see bug
- <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/443373">#443373</a>).</li>
- <li>More modules have been activated, for example more netfilter
- modules.</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li><strong>SRM-based Alpha systems</strong><br />
- aboot, the bootloader for alpha machines that use SRM firmware, has been
- updated to support booting recent linux kernel images. If you are
- performing a new etch install of your system using the Debian
- <q>lenny</q>-based installer, an updated aboot package will automatically
- be used. To migrate an existing etch system to the 2.6.24
- <q>etch-and-a-half</q> kernel, you must update to the latest aboot package
- in etch and manually update the boot block on your disk with the swriteboot
- command. See swriteboot(8) for more information.</li>
-</ul>
