Hi,

I am trying to setup a VM to install Jessie.  This VM and a dnsmasq server
are on a private network and I am installing the VM using the dnsmasq
server as a PXE server.  The install starts but I am having trouble
specifying a mirror.  I am choosing Canadian mirrors but all that I tried
are reporting "mirror does not support the specified release (jessie)".

The mirrors I tried are:
- ftp3.nrc.ca
- debian.mirror.rafal.ca
- debian.mirror.its.dal.ca
- ftp.ca.debian.org

I don't think it's a connectivity issue.  The dnsmasq server can ping those
sites and it's on the same virtual network.

How can I debug this?  Could this be caused by the release of Debian 9?


Thanks in advance,

Stephen

I apologize for the double-posting.  I didn't see the first post go up
so I thought I had to subscribe to post.

It looks like it actually is a network issue.  I opened a different
console on the VM and ping and wget both timed out.  I don't
understand why the dnsmasq server works and the newly installing VM
doesn't when they are on the same network.

How can I resolve this?

I ended up opening a virtual console and fixing the network manually.
Specifically, I did:

~ # ip link set eth0 up
~ # ip addr add 10.0.2.16/24 dev eth0
~ # ip route delete default
~ # ip route add default via 10.0.2.1
~ # ping mirror.it.ubc.ca  # to verify

After that the install proceeded normally.
