Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.15-4 In all versions of 2.6 that I've tested with d-i to date, srm_env no longer works correctly. Attempting to query any variables from /proc/srm_environment on alpha gives a "Bad address" error:
$ cat /proc/srm_environment/named_variables/language 6cat: /proc/srm_environment/named_variables/language: Bad address $ strace shows: open("/proc/srm_environment/named_variables/language", O_RDONLY) = 3 fstat64(0x3, 0x11fc49798) = 0 read(3, "6\0\0\0", 1024) = 4 write(1, "6\0\0\0", 46) = 4 read(3, 0x120018000, 1024) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address) With coreutils cat, it does at least output the contents ("6") before exiting with the error; with busybox cat, there is no output, breaking language autodetection in the installer. This worked fine with 2.4.27. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org/
