[Gnewsense-dev] Latest net installer on x200 with libreboot

[stig atle steffensen]

I'm having a hard time getting things installed on a x200 with libreboot.
It fails when I select a archive mirror, everything up until that point
works fine.
(I downloaded the iso from the links on the forum, 20 minutes ago).

The live iso fails to boot on my machine, so I have to use the net
installer.

It just fails with the message:
"An error has been detected while trying to use the specified debian
archive mirror.
Possible reasons for the error are : incorrect mirror specified .... ...
.. .. .. etc"

in the log it says:

mirror does not have any suite symlinks.
mirror does not support the specified release (ucclia).

The mirror I'm using that's closest to me is:
no.archive.gnewsense.org

I've also tried different ones as well.
So, what can I do to get this sorted?

(I did use the mipsel installer yesterday, that one worked just fine on
the Lemote).

mirror does not have any suite symlinks.
mirror does not support the specified release (ucclia).

I hadn't yet changed the "stable" symlink to ucclia. That might be the
issue. Changed it now. Should be available to mirrors within 24 h.

I tested the installer again today - I still have the same issue as
mentioned.

Thanks for testing. Could you open a bug report for this? We have a few
issues going on and I want to make sure we don't lose track of them.

I have done this now.

Also wrote down a bug on the mipsel platform:

https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?47901

I'll dig around more and report things if I find it.
