Still with us -- Re: Bug#684265: (installation-reports: yaboot.conf missing existing root partitions -- sources.list still has deb cdrom from installation)

[Rick Thomas]

I just downloaded and burned the PowerPC Netinst CD and did an install with it.

Specifically,
    
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/arch-latest/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso
    Daily build #3 for powerpc, using installer build from sid
    This build finished at Fri Aug 17 09:39:24 UTC 2012.









Enjoy!

The first problem noted in bug#684265 is still there -- the installer still does not put the existing root partitions into the generated yaboot.conf. When I installed os-prober and ran it on the installed system, it found and listed the existing root partitions, as expected. So the problem is in the installer, not os-prober... The other problem noted in bug#684265 -- The installer was not commenting out the "deb cdrom" line for the installer CD -- has apparently gone away. Attached is a (hopefully) relevant extract from the installation syslog file.
