Status of d-i kernel transition for 2.6.14
(CC'ing port mailing lists where the port does not have 2.6 support in d-i) An update of the table of kernel versions. General comments: - CD images still use 2.6.12 as Etch is installed - only x86 and sparc64 fully switched to 2.6.14 for sid_d-i - powerpc and amd64 have uploaded new udebs, but not yet updated d-i config - hppa should update kernel udebs to 2.6.14 - arm, mips, mipsel have initial (now outdated) 2.6 kernel udeb packaging in the d-i SVN repository, but never yet uploaded - sparc32 was badly supported in 2.6.12 and thus does not have a 2.6 installer, possibly this will be implemented for a later version The 2nd and 3rd columns in this table also show that a lot of arches do not currently have 2.6 kernel udebs in the archive or at least do not have d-i images that boot with a 2.6 kernel. This situation is highly undesirable as 2.6 _is_ the preferred kernel for most architectures when running unstable and will also be the main kernel version for Etch. The D-I Etch beta2 release is provisionally planned for the 2nd half of January and should have the 2.6.15 kernel that is expected to be released within the next few weeks. Porters should really start implementing support for 2.6 in d-i for their architecture in order to be ready for Etch and allow sufficient time for testing and ironing out possible issues. Support for 2.6 should probably be implemented in time for the D-I Etch beta3 release (at the very latest!). Help in this effort is of course available from the rest of the d-i team where needed. arch udebbuild/config base-installer debian-cd --- - --- i386 2.6.14-2/2.4.27-2 2.6.14-2/2.4.27-2 2.6/2.4.27-22.6/2.4.27-2 alpha2.4.27-2/(2.6.12-1) 2.4.27-2 2.4.27-2 amd642.6.14-32.6.12-1 2.6 2.6 arm 2.4.27 2.4.272.4.27 hppa 2.6.12-12.6.12-1 2.6.12-1/2.4.27 2.6 ia64 *) 2.6.12-1/2.4.27-2 2.6.12-1/2.4.27-2 2.6/2.4.27-22.6/2.4.27-2 m68k 2.4.27/(2.6.12-1) 2.4.272.4.27 mac2.2.25 2.2.252.2.25 mips 2.4.27 2.4.272.4.27 mipsel 2.4.27 2.4.272.4.27 powerpc 2.6.14-2/2.4.27 2.6.12-1/2.4.27 2.6/2.4.27 s390 2.4.27-22.4.27-2 2.4.27-2N/A sparc32 2.4.27-22.4.27-2 2.4.27-2 sparc64 2.6.14-2/2.4.27-2 2.6.14-2/2.4.27-2 2.6/2.4.27-2 [1] 2.6.14-2 does not boot on IA64, waiting for 2.6.15 NOTE A new 2.4.27 kernel for x86 has just been accepted into unstable so 2.4 kernel udebs will also need updating soon.

Although with Etch you can boot off the CD, the installation is in fact no different from the other installation methods which means that most of the installation will be done over the network. After setting up the network, you will be offered to continue the installation over an SSH connection. All installer components and packages are downloaded from mirrors. If you burn a CD, you can however use that as a source to install additional packages after the reboot, although you may have to configure it manually. See also this README file, which is included on the CD: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-cd/trunk/data/etch/s390/README.boot?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 Cheers, FJP pgpg1MxVsCuPY.pgp Description: PGP signature
Debian installation media question.
I am new to Linux and Debian. I would like to download Debian S/390 for installation on a z890 processor. I have set up an LPAR for this purpose. I will not be using z/VM. I want to know if I can download Debian S/390, burn a CD and do most of the installation from the CD on the OS/2 system that supports the HMC? I see from the site that "Support to ipl off an installation CD has been added back in the version of the installer that will be released with Etch". Without "Etch" I am not clear on how much of Debian I can install from a CD (the installer or the boot loader). Do you know when "Etch" will be available? Sounds like I may need it. Could someone clarify this part of the Debian install process on the S/390? Thank you. Ted Keesey Synoran Systems 390 Administrator

FWIW: Dep-Wait is a feature of wanna-build, not of the buildds. So is Auto-Dep-Wait, which is what I assume you're referring to; either way, it's supported for all architectures. But it's only automatic if w-b can figure out that one of your package's build-dependencies in *unavailable*, rather than *uninstallable*. A Dep-Wait has been set now for kdevelop3 on the affected archs. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Hi! (second try, I got 2 out of 3 emails wrong the first time round) I am having problems getting kdevelop3 to build on alpha, mipsel and s390 due to unsatisfied Build-Depends: http://people.debian.org/~igloo/status.php?packages=kdevelop3 Is Dep-Wait supported by the corresponding buildd's or not yet?
