Problems/Bugs installing via CD and qemu on native hw

[Philipp Kern]

I get stalled installing a new VM via qemu with missing files
(/bin/hw-detect and /bin/check-missing-firmware) and missing kernel ('No
installable kernel found')‎.
I work around the first issue by switching to a bash terminal and
$ echo -e '#!/bin/sh\nexit 0' > /bin/hw-detect
$ chmod +x /bin/hw-detect
$ cp /bin/hw-detect /bin/check-missing-firmware
Then continue with installation before running into the aforementioned
kernel issue.
I got a more complete log on this.

Please file a bug against debian-installer (reportbug has a template)
and attach the installer's syslog (or optimally all of /var/log/installer).

Kind regards and thanks

Hello Philipp,

I cannot find /var/log/installer:
~ # ls -1 /var/log/
partman
syslog
~ # ls -1 /target/var/log/
alternatives.log
apt
btmp
dpkg.log
faillog
lastlog
wtmp

Is there some other place I should take a look at?
Or will posting /var/syslog be enough?

Regards,
Ben.

/var/log/installer is present in the installed system (i.e. it is
preserved after the installation). If taken from the installer, a tar of
/var/log should be sufficient.
