Machine: powerpc (PowerBook G4) distribution: sarge type: net mirror: http://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian Localudebs: - mac-fdisk (no udeb see #188420) - partitioner (script for powerpc, see #194590) - udpkg (wrong output of --print-architecture, see #194933)
Problems (not already reported): 1. if you do not partition your hard drive (because it is already partitioned) "Partition your hard drive" is sometimes the default menu item when it should not be. (eg. after base-installer). Partitioning should be non-default after file system setup. 2. yaboot installer does not work. It tries to call /usr/sbin/yabootconfig which is not there. It should either call /target/usr/sbin/yabootconfig or we have to copy yabootconfig into the installer root or depend on yaboot 3. yaboot installer does not depend on kernel-installer. Don't we need a kernel for booting? ;-) 4. after base-installer /target/etc/fstab was not set up (only # UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM) 5. There was no menu item for kernel-chooser. Kernel-installer faild because there was no "default kernel". Resolved Problems: 6. debootstrap segfaults. works with dash-udeb, still prints "retrying faild download 3x times" for each package Problems already reported (pro memoria): 7. mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3 are files of size 0 instead of links to mke2fs. Deleting these files and creating links made partconf work -> busybox tar bug? Is there a bug-report about this? 8. partconf does not call swapoff nor unmount partitions when called again. So if your configuration partially faild and you have to reinvoke partconf, you have to do this manually first. - gaudenz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
