Package: installation-reports powerpc 20040724 businesscard
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).
