Re: libc-2.2.4.so breaks library reduction with its atexit() bug

Apart from sveral programs not running anymore the library reduction seem to go into an endless loop due to it. What programs?

Its the atexit problem you probably fixed in libc-2.2.3-10.0.1, haven't tested that yet. The loop also has problems with atexit. -uatexit is given as paramter to the gcc reduction call but the resulting lib doesn't contain atexit. That was the behaviour on ppc.

Re: Alpha Boot Floppies: new version
I have used the boot floppy images from
ftp://134.2.15.134/boot-floppies/disks-alpha/ to attempt an install from scratch
on a Bret (AlphaStation 500/500).
The good news? bootp/tftp boot works great! In SRM, you need to select bootp
via console variable ('set ewa0_protocol bootp' or something like that) rather
than via a flag to the boot command ('boot -proto bootp ewa0' does not work,
failing with Block FFF2 is not in any zone messages).
The bad news? The installation hangs during/right after installing the libc6.1
package. It hangs so solid that the shell on the second virtual console will
not respond. I even tried floppies rather than tftp and it stops in the same
location. Is this a known problem?
Also, when trying to write aboot to the disk, it looks like the installer is
trying to swriteboot to the partition where the root filesystem is (/dev/sdan)
rather than directly to /dev/sda .

That's really good news. I couldn't get bootp to work, so I couldn't
test it. There were some suspicious hacks in the previous version...

No. That's really weird; I have no idea what might cause this. I had
no problems at that point. Did you download via http, or did you
install from a mounted mirror?
Also, when trying to write aboot to the disk, it looks like the
installer is trying to swriteboot to the partition where the root
filesystem is (/dev/sdan) rather than directly to /dev/sda .
I noticed this too. If this is not just the message being wrong, this
might even destroy data... I'll check it.

Re: Problem with Debian installation
Hi, I'm a network and system engineer and I have to install debian on a computer that have an array scsi Adaptec 2100s that is not supported by the debian installation CDs. I asked the driver code to the Adaptec, they sent me the code and I compile a new kernel. I booted the computer from a boot floppy with the new kernel and the driver worked, but I need a faster installation procedure because I've a lot of machine to prepare that have the same hardware.
