So your boot.img is broken. So I'll file a bug. Another thing I found out: whith your (broken) boot-floppy the floppy disc gets ejected. If the boot floppy boots ok, there is the prompt saying I should insert the root disk, but I have to eject the boot disk by myself. > > > Maybe you could try loop mounting both root floppies, and compare them. > Well, if the problem is with the root.img, knowing what the difference > between the working image and the bad one is, would be a good idea.

Uups? What packages not in d-i svn to you use ? regards, Holger --------------------------------------- Received: (at 242019-done) by bugs.debian.org; 17 Apr 2004 11:28:02 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Apr 17 04:28:02 2004 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from natnoddy.rzone.de [81.169.145.166] by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1BEnzN-0006cD-00; Sat, 17 Apr 2004 04:28:01 -0700 Received: from matrix.mein.net (b114166.adsl.hansenet.de [62.109.114.166]) by post.webmailer.de (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i3HBRxSt019584 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sat, 17 Apr 2004 13:27:59 +0200 (MEST) From: Holger Levsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: #242019-done: daily build powerpc-small floppy boot.img now works Date: Sat, 17 Apr 2004 13:27:51 +0200 User-Agent: KMail/1.5.4 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on spohr.debian.org X-Spam-Status: No, hits=0.5 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_01,RCVD_IN_DSBL autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 X-Spam-Level: X-CrossAssassin-Score: 1 Hi, I just checked the daily build boot.img (built on 2004-04-16) http://people.debian.org/~luther/debian-installer/daily-powerpc-built/current/powerpc-small/floppy/ on my pmac4400/200 and it boots now and prompt for the root disk, great!
