Well, I started poking around in d-i (I don't know it at all). It seems that the base-installer in testing is version 1.13 and it does *NOT* recognize 970FX as a power4 family processor. I looked in subversion and I see the following comment in debian-installer/packages/base-installer/debian/changelog base-installer (1.15) experimental; urgency=low NOTE: not for sarge, needs rootskel 1.11 * Colin Watson - Recognise POWER4+ and PPC970FX cpuinfo entries as power4 systems. and I can see in svn diffs that power4+ and 970fx were added to kernel/powerpc.sh in its latest revision. Does this ("not for sarge, needs rootskel 1.11") mean the 970FX will not be supported by sarge? Also, the test case kernel/tests/powerpc/g5.cpuinfo is for a PowerMac7,2 (970). There is not test for a 970FX PowerMac7,3. Cheers! Shyamal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
