Description Dick Gevers 2013-12-28 21:28:36 CET

Description of problem:

After partitioning is completed, media are chosen, including (default flagged yes) non-free (which I need for nvidia/sandy bridge hardware).

When I disable online media, an error shows there is no synthesis.hdlist for non-free and next a whole lot of errors appear on screen. Attachments will show them.



Reproducible:

The huge errors as attached are not reproduced in 32-bit install.

Comment 8 Anne Nicolas 2013-12-29 13:33:10 CET

looks like a pb with hdlists and synthesis on local mirror. I will have a look

Comment 9 Anne Nicolas 2013-12-29 15:04:18 CET

Fixed in next set of isos

Sorry but synthesis.hdlist is still missing for non-free (as discussed on irc)

Comment 11 William Kenney 2013-12-31 05:03:09 CET

I have to agree with Dick. I gave both the 32 & 64 bit isos
at brief try in Vbox and ran into this problem immediately.
I admit to putting it aside till tommorrow and to see how
others do.

Some basic checks should be done on the tree before actually calling genisoimage...
