Hi all, I've updated the existing d-i errata [1]. Removed the fixed problem regarding RAID arrays in rescue mode. Updated info on known non-working usb keyboard. Added info on speakup not being configured.
I've also added known blockers: 1 - zipl installation problem that makes s390 uninstalable #519254 2 - data corruption due to os-prober #599203 3 - problems with yaboot for powerpc #589701 I've ommited: 4 - apt problem due to empty indexes #600852 as affects the building process and not the installation itself. Feel free to review, comment and suggest improvements. -- Melhores cumprimentos/Best regards, Miguel Figueiredo http://www.DebianPT.org
