Thank you for producing these! I'm new today to hardware ports (though I have been a debian hurd-i386 user for many years). I have successfully used this ia64 image to install to my stylish combination slim-line space heater and secure ambient noise generator. It's an HP Integrity rx2620 with iLO MP and a single mckinley at 1.4 GHz and 6 GiB of RAM. I had the same issue that Frank Scheiner had regarding vim-tiny on the rx2660 (thank you Frank for the detailed explanation of your experience). This one was supremely frustrating as editing bootstrap-base.postinst after the first install attempt and retrying the install leads to failing to extract a .tar (file exists!) wheras performing the partitioning step again would lead to the cdrom becoming unmounted; and d-i would not give me the option to remount the cdrom before continuing onto the next step until I restarted the install in expert mode. Editing the file before detecting disks seemed to work however. I have not tested running without the radeon module blacklisted; I will do once I have the machine configured for use. -- William Leslie Notice: Likely much of this email is, by the nature of copyright, covered under copyright law.
