Yes, I think it is. Probably because it's not applicable for
newWorlds; but the thing is this 2.4 kernel will be usable and
desirable on oldWorlds too.

I got confused between the different problems for different kernel
versions.  So I'll reopen this bug.

I verified it's still doing that, and I also tried booting my regular
system with the 2.4 kernel included in new-powermac, and it panics
because it can't find sda7.

The only relevant difference I can see with the -powerpc flavor is that
CONFIG_SCSI_MESH is disabled.  Is this the kind of SCSI which you're
using?  I don't recall why I disabled it.

Actually, the new-powermac kernel is maintained by Daniel
Jacobowitz, and we pull it straight from the binary package.

Maybe. But before waking Herbert up I wanted to see if maybe Colin
did something strange to the kernel he got, or if it's straight out 
of the archive.

Isn't this a kernel issue?  Shouldn't it be reassigned to the
appropriate kernel-image package?

Bug#137170: boot-floppies: [powerpc new-powermac] scsi disk not detected

2002-03-06 Thread Chris Tillman 

Package: boot-floppies
Version: Built 3/1/2002
Severity: normal

The powermac flavor detects the scsi disk, and when I go to partition 
it asks whether I want to partition /dev/hda or /dev/sda.

The new-powermac flavor only gives the /dev/hda choice.
