Hi, I tried today's build (20090430) and the 'CD-ROM driver not found' problem is fixed: http://people.debian.org/~wouter/d-i/powerpc/20090430-22:00/powerpc64/netboot/ I was able to finish the install, but still got the same other known problems: (1) At kernel install: 'No installable kernel was found in the defined APT sources' 'base-installer: info: could not determine kernel flavor' It should install the 64 bit powerpc kernel. (2) At boot loader install: 'No boot loader has been installed' 'GRUB not yet usable on PowerPC systems' It should create a /etc/yaboot.conf on the same partition that the kernel was installed to, but nothing else is needed. The petitboot bootloader can read from vfat, ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems. -Geoff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
