OldWorld PowerMac kernel-2.6
INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version:
sid_d-i/powerpc/20040724/sarge-powerpc-businesscard.iso
Comments/Problems:
The powerpc 2.6 kernel version of the d-i is missing drivers (modules
or built-in) for Mac floppy disks and SCSI CD-ROM drives.
Installing on a PowerMac/6500 with a TEAC SCSI CD-RW drive, I had to
use the 2.4 kernel because the 2.6 kernel couldn't find a driver for
the CD.
Installing on a beige G3 minitower, I couldn't write the log files to
a floppy, because there was no /dev/floppy (or /dev/fd*, or
whatever...) device. The lack of a builtin driver or a module driver
is probably why every time the d-i scans for hardware, it asks to load
the floppy driver (and, according to the logs, fails to do so).
