Well, on powerpc at least, the "configure base" step is getting
skipped by default. This leads to lack of /etc/fstab and other evil
conditions.
on booting into my new system, I didn't have the right inittab in
place; it gave me the "true" inittab instead
I have uploaded i386 and powerpc images to
http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-{i386,powerpc}/current.
Someone please test the i386 images to see if they are installable or
not. If someone coudl confirm the powerpc problems as well that
would be good.
Also, I need some poeple on the debian-boot list to file bugs as
appropriate against debootstrap and such...
* Other really annoying problems (but not blocking 2.3.5 release)
dhcp is failing after the first boot -- is debootstrap grabbing
dhcp-client when it installs base?
debootstrap is still saying: 'Failure trying to run: dpkg
--force-auto-select --force-overwrite --force'
the quik booting didn't work on this Wallstreet PowerMac, but that's
status quo, not a blocker per se. No, it's not ofpath failing, that
returns fine (ofpath /dev/hda => /pci/mac-io/ata0/ata-disk@0:). I
can't tell if that's actually used to set boot-device because the
system is going into serial console and I don't have one at the
moment.
Things working now:
- install sid works again (it is really identical to woody?)
- dhcp worked fine from dbootstrap
I'll have to retry 2.3.5 build on Monday because I'm out on a trip
until then.
Please
