Hello!
I just uploaded updated installation images for the following
Debian Ports architectures:
* alpha
* hppa
* ia64
* m68k
* powerpc
* ppc64
* sh4
* sparc64
I uploaded both CD images [1] as well as netboot images [2].
Please test those images and report back over the mailing list for
the corresponding architecture.
Known issues:
* alpha
- No known issues
* hppa
- No known issues
* ia64
- The kernel might be unstable during install
(try passing "hardened_usercopy=off" at the boot prompt,
e.g. "install hardened_usercopy=off"
- The debootstrap process might fail due to a missing vim
package (this should be fixed with the next CD release)
* m68k
- The drivers for IDE hardware may have to be loaded manually, e.g.:
+ modprobe pata_gayle
+ modprobe pata_falcon
- There is no automatic installation of the bootloader yet,
users have to boot the kernel and initrd manually after
installation.
* powerpc/ppc64
- The bootloader installation still defaults to Yaboot and
is being switched to GRUB for IBM POWER and PowerMacs,
please report any issues you find.
* sh4
- There is no CD image, installation has to be performed
using the debian-installer images.
- Currently supported targets are Renesas SH-7785LCR and
SH-7751R, the latter should be identical to qemu-sh4.
- debian-installer for sh4 is completely untested, please
test with QEMU and report back.
* sparc64
- Installation over a serial console is currently broken
on sparc64 due to a bug in the rootskel package
(can also be considered a kernel bug), see: #926539.
Use any image before 2019-04-06 as workaround.
Important:
When reporting issues or bugs, please include the syslog
from your installation in the bug report/mail. The log
file can be access when switching to another console using
<Alt>+<Cursor> for normal installations or <Ctrl>+<a>+<n>
when installing over a serial console.
Thanks,
Adrian
