Re: miboot-floppies (powerpc oldworld) for sarge

2006-12-15 Thread Sven Luther
ce that the 2.6 sarge d-i image had a bug which was later fixed in the etch/sid version. It has to do with calling mkvmlinuz i think, instead of simply gzipping it by hand. Holger, can you backport the little change from the sid branch, this should fix it. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Newest powerpc install disks not booting

2006-12-15 Thread Sven Luther
miboot is not in main, and thus official d-i packages cannot be done. What is needed is a local build of the miboot floppies, and putting them up somewhere unofficial, and replacing the official sarge miboot floppies by a note pointing to these unofficial images.
