Yes, installed with preseeding and...

.. and a manual silo install, this time on my noisy V240:

You missed the important part: Manual kernel installation is no longer
necessary, it's just silo that is missing now besides the partman bug.

I actually helped Rod to reinstall raverin (one of the buildds) with
unstable/sparc64 and we verified that the kernel was installed by
base-installer without any manual intervention.

I will work on fixing the other two issues the following days, I am
just too busy with many other things at the same time ...

Ben,
submitted to both mentioned mailing lists, it got to DaveM processing
queue, see http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/sparclinux/list/?submitter=68078
As I told earlier, I'm not a kernel developer in any form, not even
C/C++ programmer. I'm not sure I would be able to answer to any
objections on this patch.
But thanks anyway, probably someone else (oracle guys, with their
linux for sparc [L4S] project) would be able to make this patch to
kernel.

I think those will be fine except the two of them should have different
subjects.  DaveM will tell you what if anything he wants you to change.

Ben.

Re: Bug#790560: udev fails to start on sparc boot, breaking boot

2016-01-13 Thread John Paul Adrian Glaubitz 
This has been fixed upstream for a while now, thus closing.

However, please note that ld.gold has still issues on sparc/sparc64 [1]
which is why I have asked the binutils maintainer to disable it on
sparc/sparc64 for the time being [2].

Cheers,
Adrian
