Eh, support for new hardware is not implemented by the D-I team, but by porters. Of course, we welcome porters to be active in the D-I team, but don't expect support for new hardware to magically appear. (But I think you already know that and it was just a case of unfortunate wording.) Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: arm port plans for the squeeze cycle
Hello, 2009/8/19 Riku Voipio riku.voi...@iki.fi: I'd like to throw the ball back to our ARM port users - what are missing from Debian ARM port? I am missing an optimized eglibc for small systems (for example, -Os), i have commented such thing to debian-eglibc people (aurel) and he asked for porters providing benchmarks for both speed and size to see if there is a real benefit. === IRC snippet === 15:51 aurel32 http://paste.debian.net/44609/ 15:51 aurel32 comments are welcome 16:06 zumbi aurel32: optimize eglibc builds for small systems (-Os)? 16:09 aurel32 zumbi: yes, that can be added and is actually easy to do 16:09 aurel32 but I think that should come for porters providing benchmarks 16:10 aurel32 both in speed and size === /IRC snippet === Cheers -- Héctor Orón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Thecus N2100 installation problem
Hi, I'm trying to install Debian Lenny on a Thecus N2100. I've followed the howtos on http://www.cyrius.com/debian/iop/n2100/index.html . However, during Installing the base system, the installer reports an error: An error was returned while trying to install the busybox package onto the target system. Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 for the details. The last lines of /var/log/syslog can be found at the bottom of this post. It seems like there have been some people experiencing this on a NSLU2, e.g. http://www.nabble.com/NSLU2-Debian-install-failure-td23736014.html . According to this thread, the error was gone after several installation attempts. Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. Any ideas?
