  • Installing, booting, logical problem shown by D-I

    From yxcv@vienna.at@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 19 12:20:01 2023
    I have a working machine with bookworm. Really nice one.
    It happen to be booted from an USB stick with DB12 SCSI10 for the moment

    And I want it to bring Debian 12 from this stick SCSI10 to another stick, SCSI9!
    which is prepared with db12-live now, but should be useable as quite normal bookworm on other machines.
    Here is the table shown by debian-install and its partitionering


    working machine with /dev/nvmw0n1, part of RAID!
                1   MB    Freier Speicher
    Nr.:1 536,9 MB  B  K  ESP
    Nr.:2 998,6 GB           ext4
    Nr.:3       1   GB       F  SWAP
             728  KB     Freier Speicher

    SCSI9   (0.0.0)(sda)  126,6 GB  Disk 3,0 to be installed,  with DB12 "live".iso now. 
                                     To be replaced by regular DB12.
    SCSI10 (0.0.0)(sdd)     7,9 GB  Source disk with DB12.iso as the source and with D-I

    Problem: The working machine cannot be changed, therefore SCSI10 is booted.
                  And SCSI9 has to be partioned. 
    But! Partioning tries to influence the working machine,  especially N r.:1,
    of course NR..3 too!
    And! What does B  K  ESP mean?

    Thanks for reading up to here:-)
    Ciao

    Hi Matthias !
    Your mail appears to be a bit confused.

    What does "DB12 SCSI10" mean ?

    And I want it to bring Debian 12 from this stick SCSI10 to another
    stick, SCSI9!

    What do you mean by "bring" ? Install ?

    which is prepared with db12-live now, but should be useable as quite
    normal bookworm on other machines.

    What do you mean by "prepared with db12-live" ? Did you write some live
    system image on it ?

    What is DB12.iso ?

    Problem: The working machine cannot be changed, therefore SCSI10 is booted.

    What do you mean ?

    And SCSI9 has to be partioned.
    But! Partioning tries to influence the working machine,  especially N
    r.:1, of course NR..3 too!

    What do you mean by "influence" ?

    And! What does  B  K  ESP mean?

    "B" means "boot" because partman stupidly confuses the ESP type and the
    boot flag on GPT.
    "K" means "keep", do not reformat the partition.
