Is there no way for the network configuration to figure out its hostname from DHCP? kbd-chooser didn't work, and segfaulted when run from tty2; I expected this, since it's probably #234513 fixed in 0.44 and the CD only had 0.42. I can use qwerty/us without too many problems, so that wasn't a killer. partman couldn't recognize my partition table (partman/unknown_label). I guess this was the bug fixed in partman 25, so I'll try a newer image as soon as I get the chance. fdisk worked. I didn't need to change the partition table anyway, so I just continued past that. The partconf UI is scary if you already have an installed system. It strongly implied that it was going to erase everything that had an assigned filesystem, but the previous screen displayed filesystem types for all my existing partitions as well as the new ones! Browsing partconf bug reports and the code confirmed to my satisfaction that it wasn't going to trash my system, but I'd really like the text to be improved here. yaboot-installer didn't work because libdebian-installer's subarchitecture-checking support is broken, so I didn't get a boot loader. Bastian Blank found the problem after I mentioned this on IRC; yaboot-installer 0.0.13.1 has removed the subarchitecture field for now. I haven't yet tried the second stage, mostly because I forgot the runes to make my already-installed yaboot use a different partition and couldn't be bothered to dredge them up. :) To summarize, the serious problems I had should all have been fixed, and I think 20030415 should be go on powerpc, at least for newpmac. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------- Received: (at 238144-done) by bugs.debian.org; 25 Jul 2004 03:55:58 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Jul 24 20:55:58 2004 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from chiark.greenend.org.uk [193.201.200.170] (mail) by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1Boa7C-00033e-00; Sat, 24 Jul 2004 20:55:58 -0700 Received: from [192.168.124.112] (helo=riva.lab.dotat.at) by chiark.greenend.org.uk (Debian Exim 3.35 #1) with esmtp for [EMAIL PROTECTED] id 1Boa7A-0005cp-00; Sun, 25 Jul 2004 04:55:57 +0100 Received: from cjwatson by riva.lab.dotat.at with local (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian)) for [EMAIL PROTECTED] id 1Boa7A-00053F-00; Sun, 25 Jul 2004 04:55:56 +0100 Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2004 04:55:56 +0100 From: Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: long since done Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.28i 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=-3.0 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_00 autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 X-Spam-Level: All my newworld powerpc problems in this installation report were fixed several months ago.
