Dear d-i team, It is my great pleasure to write this mail under a debian linux on my iMac G5. I found the reason for the unstability of my previously installed system:
- The sound module snd-powermac is unstable [1]. - The debian installer does not use it. - The installed system, however, attempts to beep when the bash-completion gives multiple choices after pressing the TAB key. [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338316 The temporary solution is to: - rmmod snd_powermac as soon as possible after boot, without touching the cursed TAB key, - comment the snd_powermac line in /etc/modules. My next problem was that I had no network. In fact, for a reason I do not understand, eth0 and eth1 are swapped between the installer and the installed system. - modprobe sungem - adding iface eth1 inet dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces - ifup eth0 solved the problem. In conclusion to this lonely thread, the installer itself is OK, but : - the yaboot package from testing is currently broken. - the kernel is broken and the snd-powermac module should not be loaded. - the ethernet interface does not have the same name during intallation and after reboot. I filed a separate bug report against d-i to have the support of my keyboard, japanese mac usb, which is not supported by the installer. Shall I close this bug when the above issuses are solved? I have an extra partition, and I can make a test from time to time... -- Charles -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
