Bug#248963: Sarge sparc netinstall rc2 still fails on Sparc IPX
I just downloaded the new Sarge rc2 sarge-sparc-netinst.iso and tried to install. The install still fails. Now I do not get any error message, instead the kernel boot hangs efter the messages: Mounted devfs on /dev Freeing unused kernel memory: 144k freed After this nothing more happens. I have experimented (just in case) with different ramdisk sizes, but this doesn't help (8192 too small, 16384 boot hangs). /Magnus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This is one of the possible symtoms of the bterm/sparc framebuffer bug. Try adding the "debian-installer/framebuffer=false" option to the silo command line. I tried this option with both the beta 4 image and cdrom-mini.iso. It didn't help in either case, the same error still occurs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Magnus, can you check if http://june.voxel.net/~joshk/d-i/images/2004-05-14/cdrom-mini.iso boots? I tried cdrom-mini.iso, resulting in the same error (I didn't need to increase the ramdisk size in this case). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
