Package: nobootloader Version: 1.10 Severity: important Tags: d-i, patch
Hi Colin, ... Can you please check the attached patch and commit it in both ubuntu and debian if it seems ok to you. I did some hand-testing only, not a full install with it, but it seems mostly ok. In any case, there is an error in the code using /sys over the old devfs code compared to the older devfs code. The devfs code always substract 1 from the partitions, while the /sys code never does it. The right behaviour is to check for the /proc/device-tree/openprom/firmware-version property, and discriminate depending on the version there. Only newer firmware versions have this property, and only those firmware more recent or equal to 1.2.99 have partitions starting at 1. older firmwares and those not having the property all start at 0. The attached patch implements this check, and brings both /sys and devfs partition numbering in sync again. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
