Failing to install Stretch on QNAP TS-420

[Mark Duggan]

In attempting to install Stetch on QNAP TS-420 I seem to fail at the same
step every time. At the end of the "Installing the base system" the
installer fails to install a kernel and throws the error message "No
installable kernel was found in defined APT sources". There is some further
text about installing a kernel manually later, but that that is recommended
for experts etc.

Here's what is showing in the logs just before the issue is encountered.

Feb 18 19:43:16 base-installer: warning: apt update failed: 139
Feb 18 19:43:18 in-target: Reading package lists...
Feb 18 19:43:18 localechooser: error: the command 'validlocale' is not
available
Feb 18 19:43:23 base-installer: info: Found kernels ''

I've tried continuing but it hits other issues later, which I'm not sure
but presume are related to this

Any insight on how to fix this or even if I can increase the debugging
level would be useful

Thanks

Mark

Can you make the complete log file available somewhere?

Does
grep "Unhandled fault" /var/log/syslog
result in output?

Trying again.

I attached the log previously but the reply didn't seem to hit the list

No 'unhandled fault' in the log

I copied debian-boot since this issue may be more appropriate there

It's possible I missed something but I don't see any errors until it fails with:

Feb 18 23:25:17 in-target: Reading package lists...
Feb 18 23:25:18 localechooser: error: the command 'validlocale' is not available
Feb 18 23:25:30 base-installer: info: Found kernels ''
Feb 18 23:26:17 base-installer: error: exiting on error base-installer/kernel/no-kernels-found
Feb 18 23:26:19 main-menu[1382]: (process:7509): Aborted

Maybe some debian-boots folks can look over the log with their
trained eyes.

I don't know what the validlocale error is about.

And I don't see why no kernel is found.

debian-boot, any idea?
