Hi seven luther
Sorry for taking such a long time to reply, i was rather busy these past

I am new to power and facing a lot of trouble installing linux I
actually have a lot of problems (My lack of understanding) .

could see the disk that i configured through VIO i partitioned that disk
and able to install debian i finished off but it failed to write yaboot
Ahah, this is indeed a yaboot-installer bug, i think you should file a bug
report against yaboot-installer explaining all this.
as it complained about not having an apple partition I exited the
install created a small apple partition (type 41 ) and restarted the
installation it worked fine it even wrote the yaboot and made the
partition bootable but again when i rebooted the lpar it could not see
You need a prep partition (type 0x81) and ybin (the yaboot copying of binary)
or whatever needs to recognize your machine as a ibm/chrp box, and act
accordyingly.
You could try installing using prep-installer, which should work on your
system, but you need to create a prep partition, and i guess partman-prep
doesn't recognize your box as needing a prep aprtition.
Colin, would you comment on this, i believe we need some other kind of sanity
checks, one that makes sure that there is a prep partition on such machine,
even though they use yaboot. I wonder why partman-prep did not do the right
thing though.
the disk only cdrom and vlan adapter was available , I am configuring it
manually on VIO as explained in the manual from the top of my head i
guess it was
cd /sys/device/vio/30{hexadecimal of virtual slotnumber}/bus0/target0/
echo 0 active # i guess to disable disk
echo my lvm part device
echo b type # what this b means ?
echo 0 ro # i guess this is to make partition rw and **not** Ro
is there anything I am missing after this ? why is it that when i boot
from cdrom and load the ibmvscsi driver i could see the disk but not
from the sms prompt
No idea.
well once I capture upto this point than i will start further. At the
momment i am stuck :'( , any help in this regard would be greatly
appreciated :-)
hope this helped a bit, but i fear it is a bug in the installer, maybe fixed
in a later version than the one you used, not sure though.
Friendly,
Sven Luther

I file this bug as a place-holder for discussion and solving this issue. I have now had various reports that installation on various IBM powerpc/power machines, ranging from the RS6K B50 which has a 32bit 604e processor upto modern 64bit pseries (p620), that yaboot-installer tries to do search for an apple_bootstrap partition, and naturally fail. Colin, this is your baby, i know we worked on this, and believe it used to work in the past, so do you have an idea of what is going on here ? Also, i was tempted to raise this bug to RC level, so feel free to do so, it really needs to be fixed before etch, and preferably before the beta2 even, so we can get good feedback on IBM rs6k/pseries installs, which given the nature of those machines is difficult to obtain.

Bug#797340: choose-mirror: use httpredir.debian.org by default
On Sat, Aug 29, 2015 at 01:05:07PM -0400, Michael Gilbert wrote: This article [0] had some extensive complaints about Debian, one of which is that the installer has too many screens (apparently 20 in their case). Setting a default mirror without user intervention would nicely save 3 of those steps, and httpredir.debian.org is in many ways the ideal mirror selection anyway. I have seen issues with this. It might be good for the general case of apt where you see what the failure is and can retry if needed. But in the US it caused me some aborted installations because there was some mirror in the rotation that was broken. debian-installer - I guess in this case debootstrap - does not retry a broken file. (apt also doesn't do that but it's harder to figure out in d-i what's going on.) Kind regards Philipp Kern signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#797340: choose-mirror: use httpredir.debian.org by default
On Sun, Aug 30, 2015 at 4:49 AM, Philipp Kern wrote: I have seen issues with this. It might be good for the general case of apt where you see what the failure is and can retry if needed. But in the US it caused me some aborted installations because there was some mirror in the rotation that was broken. debian-installer - I guess in this case debootstrap - does not retry a broken file. (apt also doesn't do that but it's harder to figure out in d-i what's going on.) I helped improve this problem a couple years ago [0]. I guess that's not totally solved, or maybe httpredir causes different behavior. That is not something I've yet looked at, but I should. debootstrap's current design is to retry package downloads up to 10 times, and then give up entirely on bootstrapping. That seems like it should be robust, but maybe not. Relatedly apt 1.1~exp9 will often run into problems with httpredir as source, so it is you could have run into that once past debootstrap.

Bug#771687: debootstrap: Please add support for the Tanglu derivative
Hi!
It's been a while (almost 6 months) since the last patch, and we meanwhile
released chromodoris and are working on the next release, dasyatis.
I updated the patch to reflect that change.
Would be cool if it could get included in the official debootstrap package
at Debian!
Cheers,
Matthias

Setting a default mirror without user intervention would nicely save 3 of those steps, and httpredir.debian.org is in many ways the ideal mirror selection anyway. I have seen issues with this. It might be good for the general case of apt where you see what the failure is and can retry if needed.

(I know I'm not a regular debian-cd@ contributor, but please allow me to share my views on this DebConf thing, which are not debian-cd specific.) While I'm happy that meetings and discussions take place at DebConf, I'm not comfortable with those being a replacement for discussions on mailing lists. I don't think it's reasonable to expect people to be able to follow all of those (there are too many tracks, not all of them are recorded, and many other reasons…), be it on site or by watching the streams / videos after the facts. And as far as I'm concerned: I don't know how to make it clear or clearer that I really would like changes affecting d-i to be discussed or at least announced on debian-boot@. I've last mentioned it on dda@ less than 10 days before this change… If it's a problem for you we can re-add them for now - please let me know. I've seen no answer for the last two questions: Where was the discussion? What's the rationale? Where do we point people to? I could mention that “it was decided to drop all non-netinst CDs”, but I wouldn't quite like doing so without having a reference to point people to. Even commit messages don't explain the reason behind this change. On a personal level again: I would really prefer understanding this change and documenting it properly (be it in the d-i release announce, in installation-guide, on the website -- many links to change! -- etc.), instead of adding a vague “debian-cd decided so” label onto this change. What about publishing fixes for stuff broken in Stretch Alpha 2 through Stretch Alpha 3 (which was my initial plan), and trying to that properly another time?

Joerg has tracked this down to a recent patch which was merged in dak and hopefully fixed it; thanks. I plan to upload debian-installer from the jessie branch somewhen this monday (after I see grub-installer/jessie move to Installed to be on the safe side, even if it's usually pulled outside d-i build), if that's fine with you. The only changes there are about armel/kirkwood, with hardware support additions: | [ Martin Michlmayr ] | * Add image for Seagate DockStar. | * Add symlinks for OpenRD variants. | * Append DTB for LaCie NAS devices that require it. (Cc-ing tbm just in case I missed something else that might be pending.) Does that work for the release team? Do you want a p-u bugreport? d-i/wheezy can binNMU'd as far as I can tell.
