During the “debian” stage of the install, what does “E: Internal error: install” mean and how do I fix it?
• One possible cause is a problem with the armel packages in Debian. Check /mnt/debian/var/log/bootstrap.log for dependency problems or the like. • If corrupt packages appear, then it might be related to the microSD card used in the installation, as explained in the discussion at the smartphones-standards. Other information are available in the upstream bug. • Problems booting the image could also be microSD related. See this mail for one possible fix. • If you get error messages like unknown type 255 when accessing SMS or the contact book, you can add the number in question to /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/framework/subsystems/ogsmd/gsm/const.py, line 805, to the list in phonebookTupleToNumber assert ntype in ( 129, 145, 208 ), “unknown type %i” % ntype • lindi from the irc channel has a nice script located at http://iki.fi/lindi/openmoko/energy-logger2 to get battery information. • It wold be helpful if you then find out what kind of number that is and suggest at http://trac.free
