D-I Etch Beta2 - Status update (4)
I am very happy to announce that the debian-installer images targeted for Beta2 are now in testing (except AMD64) and that daily (etch_d-i) netinst and buisinesscard CD images using them are now available from [1]. These images use the 2.6.15-7 kernel. Note: full CD images are not yet available, but hopefully will be soon. I'll send an update when they are. Links to other images point to Beta2 images as well. Yesterday a relatively minor issue (but important for arm) was discovered in base-installer and we're going to wait for that to reach testing before the final CD builds. That also gives us until Friday for testing. Unless we get reports for serious issues within the next three days, this will be the version of d-i we will go with. Please let us know any test results or record them in SVN [2]. [1] http://www.nl.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ (Note: other mirrors may not yet have been updated) Beta2 images for AMD64 will probably take 1 or 2 more days.

These images use the 2.6.15-7 kernel. Can you add to the errata page (or tell me where to add it), the following three issues : - 2.6.15-7 has on powerpc a clock drift issue which is fixed in 2.6.15-8. - sbp2 is broken in 2.6.15-7, but fixed in 2.6.15-8, on powerpc, thus not allowing an install to a firewire disk, or reading back a firewire disk - the tg3 module is not included in the module .udebs, and as thus a network install on machine with those broadcom ethernet controllers (like the Apple Xserve G5) is not possible. loading the tg3.ko module by hand is a known workaround. This should be in addition to the not yet fixed prep issue, which makes d-i fail on all ibm chrp boxes due to yaboot having a problem with partman-prep being broken. On 32bit arches, a workaround is to use nobootloader, and the mkvmlinuz way instead of yaird (configuring mkvmlinuz to produce the compressed vmlinuz-* kernel, and dding it to a prep partition).
