Hello, I have encountered an unexpected problem, of which you ought to take notice. In tracking down another problem with the console charsets, I tried to install
debian-503-i386-CD-1 debian-40r8-i386-CD-1 (also older images). on a machine using AMD-K6-2 at 450 MHz, VIA chipset. It has never succeded, in spite of repeated efforts in expert mode. Already at language selection the first "illegal instruction" errors appear. Some times "tzdata-udeb" produces statements on illegal instructions, but the install comes to a halt every time when debootstrap malfunctions. A pair of times I managed to get a glimps of further "illegal instruction" before that final stop. In contrast, the image debian-31r8-i386-CD-1 can indeed be install without problems for AMD-K6-2. I tried this in order to diagnose the problem better. However, when I replace the AMD processor with Pentium MMX at 233 MHz, (changing clock and voltage) then installation of both images proceed without any problems at all! It is my hope that this message will make you cross check the udeb i386-packages for processor dependencies, at least for Squeeze. Please, use a CC inclusion in case you want to reach me.
