install script (wheezy) fails at point "chroot /tmp/debian..." -> kernel too old (????)
November 22, 2012 05:34AM
Dear all,

the install script for Debian Wheezy (http://projects.doozan.com/debian/) fails with:

---
I: Extracting zlib1g...
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /tmp/debian mount -t proc proc /proc
W: See /tmp/debian/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details
debootstrap failed.
See /tmp/debian/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for more information.

It is a brand-new dockstar, nothing changed or done with it whatsoever before. As /dev/sda a WD Red (2TB) works:

---
-bash-3.2# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 243201 cylinders

The full log is attached (dockstar.log). So what can I do or what's wrong? I am a little bit helpless, because I am not used to embedded devices (I am used to grub etc on x86 hardware where I have a monitor and a keyboard) and I don't yet understand the complex environment of uboot, etc. The dockstar is still at the point outlined above (open ssh connection) and I would be very very happy to successfully finish the install because I need it asap as working nfs server.

Questions:
(1) what's the problem? The script automatically downloads everything, so why is the kernel too old?
(2) is the whole pogoplug environment (from where the install is started) already distorted or is it possible to reboot into it?
(3) can I just use the squeeze script at this point (or reboot needed) although I strongly prefer wheezy

Thanks a lot! I am also happy for some explanations to better understand it to do it on my own next time.

best wishes
leo

I have the same problem. Has anybody an idea?

Are you trying to update from the unmodified filesystem?? Maybe you'll want to install debian squeeze before and then try to upgrade it (or choose the squeeze's way). If you feel more confortable with lastest packages access and easy & reliable install then I suggest you http://archlinuxarm.org. They have better support

Both installs will replace your bootloader but you can also be able to boot the stock firmware if you want ...
