d-i for wheezy on a Dreamplug, docs/recommended practice?

2013-03-22 Thread Martin Lucina
Hi, having found some time to play with a Dreamplug I've given a go at installing wheezy using the d-i RC1 images. Got hit by #703146, but that is a separate problem (presumably d-i nightlies in the next few days will pick up the fixed debootstrap?). Anyhow, my question / offer to help is: AFAICS

DreamPlug U-boot/kernel 3.0 patch status

2011-10-04 Thread Martin Lucina
Jason, ok, so U-boot 2011.09 is working for me on the DreamPlug with your v8 patch [1]. I had to grab your pre-FDT kernel patch [2] to get the kernel to recognise the new mach_id. Is this OK in the interim or do I need anything else? On a first try the kernel does boot, but a) does not see the e
